Mamoulian War

The old RPG or the Total war'ish strategy game? Are they both good or bad? I did enjoyed the RPG while I have played it, but I have never finnished it... That says, that it was not best of the Black Isle games, but still worth the time I spend playing it. But keep in mind, for this game, is lot of mixed reactions, you should ask around for other oppinion, but IMHO 3 bucks is worth it.

Playing Star Ocean 4 for second time on Galaxy difficulty now. Trying to get some ridiculous Battle Trophies... The game is actually same fun as a first time as I played it last X-mas

Fixed for ya

Just got yesterday International C license gold for every test in Gran Turismo 5... Man I never thought some racing game could be so addictive... Spent more than 6 hours on the License to get it full gold... Besides that I started Star Ocean Last Hope International... Bot somehow I forgot to use save game feature, so after 2 hours of grinding I got owned and I nearly killed my DualShock 3 O.o

man has a point. +1 for this as well !

Dang right, don't support the DRM folks...cause they feel they have a right to steal your money!!! It's been double sided though...at first they thought they had the RIGHT to install spyware on your machine without your consent...but got slapped around and now most at least alert you that you need to have an internet connection at least and ALERT YOU (which they didn't originally in many cases) that you are about to install something you didn't want or plan to during the installation. I hate theives who steal my personal information on what I game, when I game, and how I game with out regard that where I live we have rules in regards to RIGHT TO PRIVACY. Though I have to say, originally when games first came out with steam it irked me on that I'd buy a disk...but then the game wasn't on the disk. It only had a STEAM link on the disk to download steam and then the game itself...which made me go...WTH...why did I even try to buy a hardcopy if there's no hardcopy here!!!!???? That actually felt a little more like stealing directly through deciet to me than anything a pirate ever did to me. Game Producers, 50% of the big ones are thieves, liars, and evil to the core. So...I still support them (like Ubi) by not buying their games on PC but buying it on console. Probably people like me doing the same thing are the reason PC sales are less then half of what they were 5 years ago (most say even less then that by a far amount), but booming on consoles. Yeah...I hate thieves...but many of the Game producers are more akin to thieves than the pirates in my book these days...but luckily just like you learn to lock your car...I've learned how to prevent them from stealing my information by avoiding their games and not letting them install their spyware on my PC if I don't want them to know that specific type of information. But this isn't scum and thieves overall...but about piracy. If they really want to fight piracy...DRM is about the stupidest thing they've ever created...both singlehandedly killing PC sales whilst raising the number of pirates and piracy overall...double fail for DRM. On the bright side, Indie developers are once again having the biggest heyday since the late eighties and early 90s in both acclaim and sales. Amen to that!!!

Can I join?

No it is absolutely not. Different people different opinion. By access to these different opinions a developer or publisher might develop in the future better strategy to offer their products and lower the piracy rate of their products... Everybody, including pirates, ARE potential customers. If you do not hear to both sides of barricade, you will end up like Ubisoft... Being the laugh-stock of the industry...

Offer more convenient way how to obtain your product, than pirates Problem solved

Nice one I especially love this quote The report argues that piracy is only a significant concern for "large foreign production companies," and that these large companies need to adapt to new consumer behavior rather than seeking further legislative changes. And, the report says, "fears that these changes have a negative impact on the Swiss cultural creativity are unfounded."

I don't see how buying a second hand game is different from downloading it. only in the first case you actually pay money to the guy. I don't think it's possible to convince me second-hand sales are more "legal" than torrents Ebay has a large amount of stores that sell new games, actually. But second-hand games is a pretty different argument. It's legal, as Gamestop's entire business model is built around it, but I can definitely see the argument that it is bad for the game industry. Comparing it to a torrent, where hundreds if not thousands of people make use of one copy of a game is pretty laughable though. Sorry to burst your bubble, but lot of these new games on internet are just repacked used ones. With high enough quality manuals etc, so the customer does not spot the difference. Not to mention that there are many companies who are specialised in selling pressed copies of the games you have to pick the shop carefully or you end up with counterfeit...

Two new updates on the case, from webpage, that I will not link here... If you care, you will find it Update: Pownews

I have purchased 20+ games, which were recommended to by my friends with much lower income, who pirated the games and loved them... Piracy = advertisement for people who care... You are as much away from reality as some publishers...

The same is always happening to me, whenever I hear fun and CoD:MW in a same sentence I feel like Different people different taste

Lol he is mentioning region-locking as a bad strategy :D Funny to read this from a person behind STEAM :D

Yup, ego plays big role in it as well, breaking their and Blizzards always on DRMs is pretty big boost to their egos for them...

It's not just Vol, though

You know, due to the most retarded DRM scheme ever, is now every group, their mothers and their dogs after Ubisoft. Getting their games cracked as first is now something like Platinum Trophy for the scene

Is it just me, or does Volo have only template answers and he copy/paste them whenever is he around?

Amen to that!

Still would mean there are more people who pirated the game than bought it. And that's assuming that you guys are not just arguing semantics and both the pirates and pubs are complete retards who either keep hammering MP on a pirated copy or can't/won't differentiate between connection attempts from different sources. Nope they are not retards, but single persistant pirate with a keygen can hit servers over 100 times a day until he finds valid CD-Key...

Wow... Just wow... A true example of masochism. Keep going, dont let others to turn you down FFXIII is the most controversial game of the series, many people hate it, many people love it I have Platinum, and I can say, I never felt pain while playing it Except while trying to kill Shao Long Guy :D Pretty badass optional creature. And no, I do not think the game is more than little above average, but I enjoyed most of the time i played it... Finished twice so far...

This...
