Next Project: Finish System Shock

While i recently have been talking about how great Looking Glass Studio's personel and game are.

I become interested on actually finishing one of their greatest game:

System Shock!

-using portable version from strangebedfellows of course-

In my opinion this is the best shock of them all including System SHock 2 and Bioshock.
So...

Wish me luck

The Legacy of Looking Glass

I truly believe on those creative person behind Looking Glass Studios.
They are creative persons who strive to deliver the most unique experience on gaming but sadly overthrown by the market.

There are several game they/their ex member made that i liked:

1.Deus Ex-the god/ultimate emergent gameplay example

2.System Shock

3.Guitar Hero

4. Half-Life 2

5. Ultima 7

Just by looking those examples, im pretty sure you get the ideas of what those people capable of.
Anyway enjoy the next link containing articles of them/their games:

The Unholy legion of DRM

So this what i thinking when i want to buy original game dor $30-$50 instead of paying like about a $5 or $10 because as a gamer and a programmer that building a game takes a helluva dedication and effort.

But doesnt irony like to slam on your face.

I didn't like to type in the serial number but that only take a minor fraction of annoying instalation time, so i can get on with it.
I didn't like the whole 'please insert your dvd while your playing' scheme because it cause my precious-cd-dvd get dirty so i usually try the backdoor/the semi legal thing that is using no-cd/dvd crack because hell i deserve it right? its not like i want to mass produce it or something.

Then came steam.
Fuck! Now i need to go online where internet itself is an extraordinary-expensive-not so good service in indonesia?
Oh... allright if it just for activation.
But sweet jumping monkey!
Now i have to download all the frickin patches to play through!
Do you know that 56 kbps in indonesia is realy-realy-realy rare and dont mention expensive?
Do you know how long it takes to download the fucking 1 gigs of patch?

And actually i never thought that the history of DRM will never get any worse than steam, but bioshock came.
Fuck you !Now i only have 3 right for installing the game and connected to the internet?
What if there are virus attack?
But then i still can revoke my installation right.
Even more the take two really discard this whole activation license thing after listening to the consumer complaints.

And after all the fuss i thought all the publisher in the world learn their lesson.

But noooo...
In Indonesia where i just want to buy Mass Effect at the end of the week, suddenly out of curiosity i try to google it and what do i get?
I can only fucking install it three time?
And i cant revoke unless i do international call to ea?
aint that expensive?
Do you think this is the answer, dear ea?

Cevat Yerli said that the reason people dont buy as much game as it in console becaus the piracy but actually people dont like the pc platform because its buggy,hard-to-understand setting,instalation, and the fucking DRM.

So please guys!
Wake up and realize if you keep continuing with this than the Pc gaming platform will be truly dead.
Not by us, but by publishers/developers.
