THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

Perhaps Pes isn't the best example there FB.
I deliberately chose Pes because his opinion on games is so widely respected around here. I am not stating that ttech is, necessarily, a maestro on the same order as the FOJ, I am merely trying to illustrate the point that, in the absence of any obvious idiocy in a post, you have no way of knowing anything about someone's abilities or capabilities from their first post in a forum.

As for the rubbish about it being their first post and, therefore, not to be trusted, the insinuation is childish and invalid. Imagine that there is another forum, one which Pes, say, is not yet a member of but that you are. Imagine there is an ongoing discussion to which Pes, newly joined, contibutes his first post. Do you automatically dismiss his observations as incorrect and untrustable because he is a 'noob'? If so, then you are an idiot. Judge a post on its content not just on the poster's join date.
But this is the internets, this is how it works. It's hardly like people were all 'zomg n00b gtfo!!11!', a little light hearted ribbing isn't really worth the effor of climbing up on a soapbox, surely?
Fat D:
Did they actually claim to release a securom-free game? As far as I am aware, they only claimed that the measures enabled were not as harsh as the Splotchoid ones (such as online activation).

FB, the point you are missing is that we haven't had any non-glowing, non-biased reports prior to this thread. (Nor do I claim that any of the reviews in this thread - including Pescado's - are non-biased.)
The reviews in the magazines that we have seen tend to be glowing - and are usually by people who are quick to point out that they are "real" gamers who don't sim anyway. The only other reports about the game to date have been from people who were bribed with visits to those "creator" camps they had earlier in the year. Hardly unbiased reports.
We have already heard how wonderfully super-groovy and ultra-cool the game is from the bribed "creators", from the magazine reviews (by confessed non-simmers), and from EA's glowing pre-release reports. We want the other side. We want to hear what it's REALLY like - how the game is going to piss us off and annoy the crap out of us.
We don't need someone coming here and saying "Those doomsayers are wrong guys, in my EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE OF A COUPLE OF MINUTES PLAYING, I discovered that this game is so much fun ... and this thing is really cool ... and that is really great ... and I really liked ..." without really saying anything negative about the game. It just sounds too fanboyish / fangirlish. Besides, we've already heard about what is great about the game. That's what EA's marketing department has been telling us now for ages.

If I were you cassblonde, I would wait on the video card until the game comes out, that way you can see which cards are going to have issues with the game, a la the nvidia bug. Someone mentioned earlier in this thread about video card issues.
