Support NeoGAF

[Syphon Filter]

Devs need to remove it and hopefully add steamworks.

Just did a reformat and tried to launch it and it won't connect. I have never had a probelm with it befor and now nothing. I can't install Batman without it. fuck this noise

I think it was working yesterday. I reinstalled F1 2011 on Steam yesterday and had to enter in the stupid serial (even though this shit has already been entered and should be stored... but it never is) and GFWL was able to validate that. This is going to be a shitstorm if they take down servers and you're not allowed to install games.

Halo 2 support was set to be shut down in January.

Arkham Asylum, BioShock 2, Halo 2. Something is happening this month with the service.

Can you even play these games once the service goes down?

what about Dark Souls PC :*(

This is the title I would be most worried about if GFWL close down.

The game could still function offline, but a lot of its appeal is lost completely. I highly doubt Namco would care to update it either.

Yeah, I'm also worried about Super Street Fighter IV and to a lesser extent Resident Evil 5 if they decide to kill the service entirely.

RE5 has full LAN support. Same with Lost Planet 2 I think. Not sure about the fighting games.

You got windows 8 64 bit?

I don't think even ms updated the client properly to work on windows 8. You need to do some copying of files into another folder to get it to work (well I did). If you do a search for 'batman arkham windows 8' on google you should find some fixes.

those games work with an offline profile, so make one of those.

GFWL is already dead.

*edit* Didn't Bioshock 2 recently get Steam Achievements? Also, Bioshock isn't a GFWL title.

Batman AA got Steam achievements recently as well. I'm starting to wonder if we can expect some kind of GFWL-removal patches in the future and what games might be having them.

*edit* someone beat me to it.

Considering how well the game seems to do during sales on both Amazon and Steam, they'd be stupid not to do something about it.

Unfortunately I do agree with you, they'll unlikely to do anything.

only games I have that used GFWL are Fable 3 and Dawn of War 2 and Where's Wally oh and a super cheap copy of Age of Empires 3 complete. If I can still play them if GFWL goes down, i'm good.
