Hard News 01/17/12 (Max Payne 3, Mortal Kombat, Ubisoft)

[F073921]

Well Ubisoft is a bunch of assholes. I'm buying their games used.

[Zomious]

They should change their name from Ubisoft to Ibshit

[BionicV]

PUZZLE COMBAT!!!!



[Samail666]

UBISOFT

Y U HATE YOUR CUSTOMERS !?!

[Gamecaster1]

that game looks boring anyway

[TheSparkbomber]

@Gamecaster1 yeah, if you have ADHD

[Digitalwolf333]

what the shit?

ubisoft...what the shit?

[Ariksgabs]

Another reason to stay far away from Ubisoft games.....

[08o10]

Dose anyone else think that Max looks kinda like Zach Giafanis?

[CheesyVideoGamer]

This comment has been censored.

[ATG913]

Wow. I was interested in getting Anno 2070, but now I'm not. Just hearing that bullshit made me throw up a little.

[Cheboboh]

@TheVinssi Wow, I would imagine a fellow brony would be a actual nice person.

Im sorry but, Hard news has been ad-free for years. Now SA is making some ads for themself. No biggie, just dont keep repeating the same every freaking day. If you are going to do it. Do it right.

Yeah, ill just go DIE because i posted a comment on Youtube you did not agree with. Geez.

Have a nice day.

[toebagscum]

And i was thinking of buying Anno 2070... (customer lost)

[d31v1dd0]

Wow all the dlc characters and new features ? Uncool.

[d31v1dd0]

Maybe it was just me but I swore you said Max Payne 3 was going to be free. :/

[BWGgy]

I've always hated Ubisoft, fucking frenchies.

[kaneose]

Hard news is so much better then the fix. Just saying.

[KennethMoreland]

NoHopeLeft

[themagnety]

Stp SOPA

[msnhao]

we need a monatage of pen tosses

[dbzisthebest100]

FUCK PUZZLE COMBAT...

I WANT CHESS COMBAT BACK!!!

[TheKingKiddNova]

i will get a vita if that mk game has motor kombat

[Satadrian]

This piracy-sops-drm "Thing" is out of control.  Some Companies will facewall themselves After they realize how stupid they are and what kind of bullshit they support. We on the other hand will smile joyfully :)

[ChristiansCartoons]

If you didn't check the specs b4 installing it then that's your fault.

[EternalYoshi]

@ChristiansCartoons Still doesn't excuse the DRM. Life has a funny way of making situations happen.

[Mysteria9]

@ChristiansCartoons Not true. For example, I checked the specs for Battlefield BC2 when that came out, and I was over the recommended. But I only had 12 FPS at best, down at 2-3 during most combat situations. Needless to say, unplayable. Explain how that is my fault.

[ChristiansCartoons]

@Mysteria9 You bought a game you couldn't run.

[jgrosse5554]

These greedy fucking corporations need to stop worrying about money! Seriously, is that all they care about!?

[bulby1994]

Kill SOPA and PIPA!!!

[MTLRELLIK]

No I don't want puzzle kombat back Jared, shit like that and mortal kartbat are things and almost killed the franchise. If they wanted to license that shit to a 3rd party developer and make it a separate game then I'm fine with that but keep that shit out of my fighting games.

[soadhusky]

Oh fuckin Ubisoft, Anno is one of few good German games (along with FarCry and Crysis), und Ubisoft does fuck up it, WTF!?

I realy started to hate Ubisoft, since SC Double Agent, because it and lots of other games doesnt run for some reason on my PC.

That Ubisoft tool says i dont have Direct X 10, even if i do have 11!

And the game crushes than, and a lot of other games too!

Fuck Ubisoft!

[MasterOfPuppets4080]

R*, take your time. Time makes good games. Just look at Skyward Sword! It was supposed to be like in 2010 and got delayed for a year! And it came out FLAWLESS!

[nintendude44]

NO MORE SCREWIN AROUND ADS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

[AustinXVicious]

butt ubisoft loves us. your just using your pc wrong

[Theepic451]

DOWN WITH SOPA!!!!!

[L0st]

i thought that mofo on the thumbnail was zangief

[SuperOldschool89]

MAX PAYNE 3 IS COMING OUT ON MY BIRTHDAY!

[Ryxaiin]

Ubisoft, you dumb shit.

[JimmMyHero]

2:01 happy now?

[tratorta]

@JimmMyHero no

[SuperDominator45]

how dare u ubisoft!

[poohhardy11]

that pen throw was out of anger....

[stabakoder]

Now, that was a pen toss!

[STinoco209]

Cause Ubisoft are friends with Capcom.

[Ronnie7X]

This is the one and only worst downside about PC gaming, the errorz

[raymanfan9999]

Ubisoft did the same thing with rayman those fuckin rabbits

[shagoosty]

The only way to play an Ubisoft game in on a console. Cause otherwise they fuck you over.

[Snyperwolf91]

well... maxpayne looks much more like die hard now because max looks like bruce willis now .... thats another reason to buy this game . =D DIE HARD FTW!!! ^^

[Tounushi]

AC:R is the last ubisoft game I'll buy...

[Tounushi]

Max Payne in supposed to be in march? I always thought they woulda released it in june.

[DeZuijd]

May Payne PC version on 1st June?

When will we have GTA V !?!?!?!?

[zarakisan11]

I felt the emotion in that pen throw

[AndrewDBarker]

There's no way how to bypass my hatred of Ubisoft either.

[aomega6]

You know, its pretty bad when you have to download a crack normally meant for pirated versions of the game just to play a legal copy like you're supposed to.

[jacketsj]

ubisoft isnt nearly as bad a ea. back when origin was ea download manager, everything worked. after a week of origin beta, i bought battlefield 2142. it wouldn't work because it needed ea download manager. D: and it didn't end there. i contacted ea customer support immidiatly, and it took over 7 months for them to fix it. i still can't play mirror's edge time trials online either

[Smecksee]

That was one classy pen throw.

[WilHiteWarrior]

Ubisoft... youre dumbasses. When are you going to figure out that this stupid DRM has the OPPOSITE effect you intended? You make people not want to buy your games and if they want the game bad enough they just might pirate it instead. Hackers will ALWAYS come up with a workaround for this shit.

[Diablokiller999]

And THATS why nobody purchases PC-Games!

Hell, games are working better with No-CD-Cracks because the copy protection sucks performance out of the CPUs so hard!

Stop this fuckin' copy protection, games will be copied anyway on any platform. Give us value for the money we pay,damnit!!!!

[benjadamore]

THE...PEN...FUCKING...BOUNCED! 

[KrownClown]

Wow.. anno was one of the first games I was going to get for my new pc.

[NUKESPLODER]

hey jared you know you should put a really bad game in the back with the computer screens and throw the pen at it

[Digger318]

ubisoft can piss off, guess more cracks for the games then

[m1ntje]

0:41 - 0:47 wtf u onabout they both out 2012

[nxberry20l]

PEN FLIPPY

[PICKLES740]

Love that tl:dr haha.

[UrLaoBei]

Perfectly executed pen throw. Wonder if anyone took it to the knee.

[GhostRecon141]

and that is why most people crack the exe of games...

[shingvictor]

A good pen throw!!!

[blackbear102]

You cannot love your customers and love money. It doesn't work that way.

[Onision]

"Why do you hate your customers?" HAHAHAHAHAA!!

[kanarialintu]

Y No Special Bonus??

[SlasherFA]

@kanarialintu cos people complaint about it like crazy.

[lediadruid]

I was going to buy Anno 2070 tomorrow. Glad I saw this video when I did!

[Naihatsu92]

No screwing around?

[gameplayer4885]

day 53.

I'm still looking for snake2006's comment. supplies are running low, and I'm starting to get impatient. I might have to wright an angry letter.

[cmdood92]

@gameplayer4885 go to view all comments. Then press ctrl + f. Then type in the username you're looking for

[gameplayer4885]

@cmdood92 day 54.

some random hobo looks like to know too much...

we might have to take him out.

[Clawspider]

MK9 for VITA! YES!

[hyfynorris]

I stopped caring for ubisoft a looooong time ago...

[LordOfFailure]

So pen throw comments are actualy finished being spammed O.o

[Shellgaja]

they fail at being soft

[justchilln6190]

Nick!

[memorizationobsolete]

inb4 a cracked version of the game "fixes" the DRM.

[omgitspedobear]

@3p1cBlu3 you sir are a retard

[hatten755]

DAMN ubisoft is so RETARDED when you do drm on your game it should not be made in a way so fucking stupid and game crippling that you would rather download the fucking just to get it to work.....

[RiptorSLO]

Ubishit

[volvo145]

max payne 3 dosent even hav e max payne in it, since its not the real voice actor.

[TehWarzoneXL]

@volvo145 Yes it does, you idiot.

[volvo145]

@TehWarzoneXL havnt you noticed that James Mccaffrey is not ding Max´s voice in this one?

[TehWarzoneXL]

@volvo145 YES. HE. IS.

[chrisnorth27]

I found a way around there DRM years ago, I stopped buying ubisoft games. Works great for me I think every one should try it.

[GameOverGonzalo]

@chrisnorth27 That´s the only way to stop them. Don't buy their games people!!!

[tiaxanderson]

I bought my PC as loose parts. It was slightly cheaper, I had more control on what hardware was in it and I knew I wanted to upgrade my hardware. Incidentally, I have an extra video card now, a new mobo, new RAM, new CPU and extra hard drives..

[SlytriggerX]

Ubisoft sucks big time and i think that because of their shitty drm they will lose more costumers and fans and of course the new games will become unplayable only cuz of the drm ubisoft will go down the drain just like techland.....

[Keevin93S]

@SlytriggerX except ubisoft doesnt have a big playerbase on PC... on consoles on the other hand...

[TheSoulja99boy]

Ubisoft sucks big fat hairy dicks of niggers, I forgot to say......oh their mom has a penis.

[lottdominique]

@TheSoulja99boy couldn't wait to drop a "N" bomb whitey

[TheSoulja99boy]

@lottdominique lol

[TBOctavann]

@TheSoulja99boy I remember when I was 12 and cussing just to cuss made me feel big and bad

[wxcvbn9292]

What's happening to the gaming industry...

[TheSoulja99boy]

Is Ubisoft fucking retarded or what?

[IndexTyrzi]

Nintendo - loves their customers and not disappointing them

Sega - disappoints customers after making them to believe their product is amazing by showing epic trailers

Ubisoft - Doesn't even care

[Goombowser]

@IndexTyrzi Waggle

[Nick3889]

I am no longer proud that ubisoft is Canadian

[SRLupine]

That why when i hear about a game that has a DRM like this i simply..Dont Buy It. It is another reason why i dont buy games at Launch.Saves me from games like Duke Nukem.

[PJmorrisify]

@SRLupine People don't care as long as they get to play shiny new games. They'll succumb to anything.

[MinbadTheFourth]

Ubisoft is lame

[TheInmortalRobert]

LOL "Why do you hate your customers?!"

I too would dig some puzzle kombat

[Apemopo]

wow, ubisoft is dumb!

[powdersullivan]

Ubisoft is fucking ridiculous.

[juvygenius]

Pen throw like it was dice.

[TheGeckoNinja]

remember back in the days when you could just put a game in and play it,,,,ahh those were the days c:

[TheDarkonSoma]

@TheGeckoNinja Yeah.....the days were there was no such thing as a "Better" system just the old crappy consoles that games ran fine on and unless you threw it or poured water really couldn't break cause they were cartridges. <3

[TheGeckoNinja]

@TheDarkonSoma i think cartiges need to come back for a few reasons they last longer than discs, cause discs get scratched no matter how careful you are with them, 2nd is they are smaller now i mean look at the nintendo 3DS cartridges they are freakin tiny which saves room and shelf space and are able to hold so much data that they play games with pretty decent graphics by todays standards, 3rd is cartridge games dont have loading time, while disc games do thats a huge PLUS for me

[TheDarkonSoma]

@TheGeckoNinja Question...what was my original post?

[erezddd]

@TheGeckoNinja

yea lol today the time your computer becomes old is no 3 years like it was in the past its a dam 1year or 1.5

unless you but a computer that cost 2000$ or just a alienware :D.

it might last a bit longer.

[Dyrui13]

@TheGeckoNinja remember the day when putting in codes was the way to unlock extras/skin colors/ other charcters rather then having to pay 2.99 for them

[TheGeckoNinja]

@Dyrui13 OMG i know right?! i miss those so much

[SolidMike84]

@TheGeckoNinja

A-fucking-men

[iamLI3]

@TheGeckoNinja true that

/)

[TheGeckoNinja]

@TheGeckoNinja lol oh wow i made a comment that got 100 thumbsup ......and yet its not on the top comments :/

[WHATSaDavid]

... They'll have to change there DRM. Cause like... its common fucking sense!!!

[ilikepieguy11]

pissed off pen throw

[Bob0p]

That DRM should be considered a form of spyware it spys on what you own and what you have as hardware to give your game too and does not allow changes, what are they going to do next back up all your computer on to a server and determine you get your game if your harddrive data matches their data base?

[Nexo213]

I'm surprised you guys didn't mention SFxT Pacman & Bad Box Art Megaman alone would be newsworthy).

[Cheboboh]

YES!!! NO SCREWIN AROUND INTRO.

THANK YOU SCREWATTACK!!!!

:DDDD

[TheVinssi]

@Cheboboh the 15sec intro was so painfull to watch? Go and die.

[HerdULIekLetsPlays]

HAHA telling the internet to stay classy is like telling a whore not to have sex anymore xD

[Daegonath]

so...what are you doing to stop PIPA and SOPA?

[bbigbangkamahamayha]

so if i change mouse (a hardware) does that mean it won't work?

[live2createlife]

nice pen throw, 7.5/10

[ZomgZomg007]

aww i thought MK was coming to PC :(

[xxmynameisdarkoonxx]

OMFG there was some serious anger in that pen throw, I hope the table is ok.

[apache1234657]

need for speed hot pursuit does that too

[ryuno2097]

awww.. i wish MK came out for the PC.. :(

[IR4ID4IR]

DAT PEN THROW!

[indieseoul]

DRM what a joke. More times than not it causes people to pirate just so that they can play the game that they legitimately purchased.

[snake2006]

Thumbs up for pen toss

[xtrememayhem]

@snake2006 thumbs down for your unoriginal comment

[snake2006]

@xtrememayhem

Thumbs down for being a dickwad.

[snake2006]

@xtrememayhem

Thumbs up for being the biggest douche in the universe.

How does it feel?

[xtrememayhem]

@snake2006 thumbs down for thinking youre getting under my skin

[GiantMoth]

@snake2006 Don't worry, you're all getting thumbs down.

[GiantMoth]

@snake2006 Don't worry, you're all getting thumbs down.

[GoopLoopScoop]

@snake2006

Thumbs down for not realizing that that comment is OLD AS FUCK!!!

[snake2006]

@GoopLoopScoop

Thumbs down for being stupid as fuck.

[GoopLoopScoop]

@snake2006

How am I being stupid? That comment is old and stupid. No one cares about a fucking pen throw. They care for the news! It's as bad as the arrow in the knee.

[snake2006]

@GoopLoopScoop

Everyone cares about the pen throw.

EVERYONE.

[xtrememayhem]

@snake2006 if i dont care about the pen throw it makes your statement invalid - therefor "i dont care about the pen throw"

so no not "EVERYONE" cares about the pen throw

[hoyfootball37]

@GoopLoopScoop thumbs down for copying xtrememayhem's idea

[GoopLoopScoop]

@hoyfootball37

Yeah, you're right...

[rurounizanza]

Jared is gonna get an hernia with how angry he gets at these news. 

[TheJoonful]

finally i read comments about no one talking about no goddamn pen

[TheTroublmaker]

I changed out my video card and Anno still works for me. I suspect this person upgraded more than their video card.

[SemeBoy]

You should throw SOPA not a PEN

[ADCVirgo]

dammit why keep delaying Max -_- i cant wait to play it

[3p1cBlu3]

PC gaming sucks

[sathfronDP4L]

thats why i don't play PC games.

[SovetskieSoldat]

Fuck Ubisoft

[ShadowWolfRising]

Ubisoft, Ubisoft, Ubisoft.............Pirates will always pirate, but heres the thing, MORE PEOPLE pirate it when you piss them off with shit like this. Gamers will take their money elsewhere if you keep this up. EVEN ORIGIN doesn't do this, and when I compare something to Origin in a way that paints Origin in a positive light, YOU DOING SOMETHING INCREDIBLY WRONG!

[ADR3NALINExi]

Think I'll just nickname every company. As majority of them seem to be known for something, stupid or just flatout retarded -_-

[EternalYoshi]

Seriously Ubisoft? What. The. Hell.

I would expect that most people that have a gaming rig tend to change things like that and you prohibit that?

For Shame.

[123whatmeworry]

DAT PEN THROW!!!

[wildgoosespeeder]

No Screwin' Around, Ubisoft rant, and an awesome pen throw. My life is complete.

[Bisondoof]

Ubisoft I love splinter cell, assassins creed, Rayman, all that jazz; but come oooooonnn.

[EpiclyConnor]

Ubisoft are Canadian. 'Nuff said.

[FadeToBlack181]

WATS DIS ? No look at my ass button ?!?

No take that scorpion ?!?

NO BABY VOMIT ?!?

WITCHCRAFT I SAY !!!

[PlaneteReview]

@FadeToBlack181 you forgot special bonus, thats the best kind!

[LegendarySilverWolf]

YOU KNOW WHATS BULLSHIT? SOPA FUCKING SOPA
