Sacred 2

[Xiahou]

Mmmm, loot gathering.

The initial PC release had so many problems that I put off buying until it was fixed up. Then I found out it has the more restrictive version of secuROM on it, so I'm looking at the xbox 360 version instead. I do not buy PC games with limited activations. Sacred 2 comes with a punitive 2 activations; if I find games with 5 activations unacceptable there's no way on earth I will accept 2.

The xbox version is out here on the 5th of June.

I was pretty excited about this game until I ran into some info about their draconian DRM.

This was the final hilarious nail in the coffin- from their own site:

Revocation problems can be caused by a change in hardware components on the system.
If this happens, then it is recommended to install the old hardware, revoke and then install the new hardware.

I guess there's always the PS3 version.....
