It's funny your parents think steam is a virus. You should educate them on the matter.

It doesn't use steam. If it did the Direct2Drive website for the game would say "Uses Steam DRM" Which it doesnt.

Also you can set steam to run offline by updating the game 100% and then setting it into offline mode.

Ya they are only half right, its more spyware than a virus. Personally I don't let it near my system if I can avoid it.

To me it felt like an MMORPG without the MMO. There's plenty of guns and blowing stuff up, and it's fun for a while, but there's just barely enough story to hold it together, so everything starts to feel pointless and repetitive. Well, to me at least.

This is that game with something like 200,000 different gun combination's right?

Seen some youtube gameplay and it looks awesome, but the gun combination's would give me a headache!

I got the PS3 version on release,(exactly the same game as the PC ,just different system), and I love it - I still fire it up when I want some gratuitous violence

,you'd want to pick up the addons as well ,(other than the roxxy one ,its crap), The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned is a must get.

I think this sums it up very well. I played 5 or 8 hours before quitting. Hellgate had the same problem. non-MMO MMO-styled games suck imo. The point of these kinds of games is to just grind and get better. If the game is too dull for me to even care then it just doesn't work. I'd rather play Diablo 2 or Titan Quest for this kind of fix. The more people you get to play with you the better.
