After Rockstar launched their new wee store client doodad this week, folks who wanted to play Grand Theft Auto V offline on PC were finding themselves unable to. Did Rockstar sneak in a new DRM measure when wedging the new Rockstar Games Launcher into the game’s guts? Naw, they say it was a bug, and now it’s fixed. The fix does involve going online one last time, mind. Rockstar launched their Launcher on Tuesday. It’s a new store/client/updater doodad of their own which could be read as a portent that they’re thinking about launching some big new game on PC away from Steam. Anyway, while the Launcher has little purpose at presence, it is now required to launch Grand Theft Auto V (yes, on Steam too). And some technical hiccup meant that it was blocking people from playing the open-world murder simulator offline. Having recognised the problem and said they were working on it on Tuesday, Rockstar have now issued a fix. You’ll need to go online to update the … [Read more...] about You can now play Grand Theft Auto V offline again

Steam Now Shows The Hours Played At Review Time
Valve has sneakingly updated Steam in the past week to further improve the way in which reviews can assist in making potential purchases. Since the new feature was not mentioned in the patch notes of recent client updates, you’ll have to see this for yourself. Just head over to the digital marketplace and open up the reviews of any released game. You’ll notice that they now show the number of hours played at the time the review was written. This is a significant addition to Steam that will make it easier for users to separate legitimate postings. Someone who has marked a game as “not recommended” after playing only an hour or two says volumes about the worth of their review. Just imagine a game like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that has over a hundred hours of content. You’ll naturally want to learn how good or bad the game is from a player who has put in at least ten hours as opposed to a person bashing the combat mechanics within the opening scene. … [Read more...] about Steam Now Shows The Hours Played At Review Time
