Ok am pissed. FIrst and foremost let me say I purchased OVERLORD 2 because I liked the first one. Then I hit some issues with the installation. Yeah it was copy protection stuff.

So affer a few days of back and forth and asking some of my less reputable gamer friends about defeating the copy protect on the the game I purchased, I got an answer from the company that made it. It worked fine EXCEPT Well see Codemasters did not make the copy protection so had to go through the 3rd party company. BUT I did CC Codemasters. Only to find out from their tech support that the game will not run on my current rig. Bummer. I am somwhat pissed over this still but meh.

SO sometime not so long ago i got a survey request from Codemasters to tell them what I think of Overlord II . COOL A chance to let them know why i was disappointed. So off I go to tthe site to fill in the info. The survey starts out with the usual qualifying questions. (yeah i did that for a living for a while too) Do I work in any of the following industroes - no, Do I own this game, yes. What age and sex am i? I answer and get Sorry you do not qualify. So I got some news for ya CODEMASTERS. PEOPLE OVER 20 PLAY GAMES AND GUESS WHAT SOME OF US are *GASP* FEMALE. So deal with it.

@ tank and automan Well putting consoles online is not an option here. no cable sat is cost prohibative for quality. etc. so pc is only way i can play online atm. ANd usually I prefer pc but am getting annoyed again.

the nonsense in PC gaming with driver issues and DRM and cheating line finally drove me to consoles. Cheating is still a problem but at least i just need to stick the disc in and play i don't need to waste more hours making the game work than i'll probably spend playing it. When i have time to game i want to game not mess around with drm nonsense

I'm with Tank. The last time I played a PC game, it was Ultima Online. I can honestly say I don't miss it at all.(the PC gaming, not Ultima....over 5 years clean and I still have the Ultima monkey on my back)
