Im sure if you look hard and deep enough you will find some guy or gurl who will say it was an okish game.Originally Posted by Gradius
But what Raven is saying is becuase some lonely fat guy who hides in his moms basement and has illusions of elitism calls himself a hardcore gamer says "Daring Danny Dipshit" is a "bad" game we must now all concede. I the mean time fat basement dwelling elitish gamer dude pirated D.D.D to make sure not to waist his hard earned pocket money on it.
true enough, but smart honest gamers will always do there homework before buying a game
As long as you don't sell the porn you taped on Etv last friday. You can record programs on tv if its for personal viewing only. Its called Theft Tsar. No matter which bells or ribbons u try and tie around it. It remains theft.
Who decides the game isn't made to hight enough standards? You? Tsar? Me?
I tell you what give me a list of titles that YOU played but felt wasn't worth paying for. And i bet you, i BET you i can find people, as in more than one, that will disagree. Standards my ass. Not every studio out there has the 17 million dollars to produce a title with AAA grade polish. So what about the indy market? Are indy games bad coz they aren't produces to AAA "Standards"?
For every moaning twat out there complaining about MW2's short campaign and lack of dedicated servers there are 10 people praising the campaign even though its short.
All piracy does is harm the industry and if people loved this industry then they simply wouldn't pirate. But i like how its always the guyz who talk about how important gaming is to them that end up coming up with idiotic arguments like these. If gaming is important to you then you will pay for a title. Even if it doesn't live up to your expectation. You dont pirate the game coz it maybe wont live up. Coz that harms the industry.
I never said piracy was good.
Heres an example of pirating a game thats playing, but not paying is like.
Theres a movie, it's not worh going to the cinema, it's not worth detting the DVD, but you'll gladly wait to watch it on TV.
For games, the effort of waiting is replaced by the effort of downloading it and the risk of viruses.
The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
If u pirate then you are saying "its ok, its acceptable" if piracy isn't good then don't do it.
You are still paying for that movie with your dstv sub/tv license fee.
Its called DVD rental.
You still pay for it on tv. Which ever tv channel you watch it on paid royalties to broad cast it, you pay them a tv licence or subscription amount. So you pay for what you watch on tv.
If you download the game no money goes back to the publisher or creator, no royalties are paid. If you use something without paying for it thats Theft, no ifs buts or maybes about it.
Your grasping at straws.
And I'm still paying for the game with my internet connection bills.You are still paying for that movie with your dstv sub/tv license fee.

Who here played HGL? /raises hand
Who here bought HGL? /raises hand
Who here was disappointed with HGL? /raise both hands
So, was that just cause for me to give up on spending my hard earned cash and go back to piracy? Nope, I bought Titan Quest and, well look, it is running in the background on my lappy here at work (I have it covered up with crappy spreadsheets).
The point I am trying to make is that there will be games that I deem crappy and there will be games that I will love. But love or hate the game, it does not give me the right to steal it. Theft is theft no matter how you look at it.
Devs / Publishers are perhaps contributing to the decline in PC gaming but they are not the root cause of it.
As to PC vs other Platforms, each to their own. My daughter loves my X-Box as the controllers are the coolest DVD remotes around! I prefer my PC for the genre of games I play.
Take everything I say with a pinch of salt. Infact, goto your nearest beach and snort some seawater.
