Bunglo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 Hey everyone, just thought I'd give a heads up that Steam is doing a sale for some Bethesda games, including Fallout 3 GOTY Ed. I've been mauling over if I should purchase it or not since Christmas but I was always waiting for a good sale to slash the price down a bit. Now that it's only $25, I'd purchase it in a second, my only problem is it includes GFWL I'm against most forms of DRM or similar software, but as long as it stays the hell out of my way and I have control over it, I accept it. Like with securom for bad company 2. For those who have this edition from Steam, is GFWL a big pain in the ass, or should I stop being a whiny b**ch and buy the game already? DAAANKS! Quote
AlexM Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 bought! I always said I would buy this after all the DLC is out and it's on some sort of sale. That day was yesterday EDIT : Crap I didnt realize it has GFWL. How bad is GFWL? It's not gonna be a process that's always running is it? Quote
Zyn Posted June 11, 2010 Report Posted June 11, 2010 I would never buy thOH GOD 50% OFF? I'LL TAKE TWENTY! Downloading... Quote
Bunglo Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Posted June 12, 2010 EDIT : Crap I didnt realize it has GFWL. How bad is GFWL? It's not gonna be a process that's always running is it? I don't think it's always running but from what I'm reading, the GOTY edition isn't too bad because you only have to deal with GFWL a few times. Please let me know if it's giving you any trouble, I'm still really interesting in buying the game. Quote
AlexM Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 hahah I bought it knowing I wouldnt have time for it but what the hell? I'll give a quick download and bootup and see how GFWL works out. If you dont hear from me for months you know what happened :megaman: Quote

Bunglo Posted June 12, 2010 Author Report Posted June 12, 2010 Yeah, I just bought it Downloading now, I figured I'd buy it eventually, GFWL can't be that bad as it's really only used for online play for this game... I hope. Quote

AlexM Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 ok so here's the deal It's essentially non-invasive and I have no qualms about it. UNLESS it is the reason that my mouse and keyboard immediately got disabled because I had an xbox360 controller plugged into the USB port. Otherwise this game is freakin awesome and I made a huge mistkae buying it for that reason Quote
