Mamoulian War

Oh noes... you just caused Dragon Age to be postponed another few months to be turned into cuddling simulator...

Then why we have so much publishers whining about piracy ? and saying that EA makes good games is same as saying Britney Spears makes good music... Both sells ****loads of copies, but that's more the reason of marketing and not quality of their products... quantity != quality in most cases...

It's the same assumption as the assumption that all the people who complained about Titan Quest bugginess were pirates Yeah... And if i put my kitten into microwave to dry it out, it's the fault of the manufacturer, that they did not put in the manual, that drying kittens in their product might kill them... LOL

you know but some people in other companies thinks quite opposite... http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20011017/dodd_01.htm

What's hypocritic on thinking that bad care for customers should be punished by any means, while good care for customers should be rewarded And completely agree with this one...

I disagree. There are different ways to protect information from being used against the owners wishes. Eventually methods will be put in place that work. It's inevitable. The whole DRM argument is silly anyway. Its the game owner's right to do what they want with the game. If they want to take the source code, roll it up in a sealed ferroconcrete container and sink it five miles deep in the ocean, that's their right. It's their game. Nobody else's opinions on the issue are even relevant. Sorry, but I as a customer should have some say, like i do have some saying for example for not working airbags... i should be able to get my money back for broken products!!!

Yeah, i am big hypocrite and that's the reasn why around 100 Original Games for different platforms are sorted in 5 of my shelves... And yes EA deserves to get pirated to hell for their DRM retardness...

My army of DRM haters!!! and i like to

You know... the reason why they do it, is beacuse the company can see how many people downloaded their games by torrents, so pirates make them cry even more, and they come up with even more retarded DRM which pisses off many many more legitimate users, which starts boycotting them aswell, which can in the end lead to bankrupcy of the said company, which would make many many many gamers very very happy

Yeah, but how well did that work out for Infinity Ward? They sold a crap load of copies, but I still remember at least one of them complaining that there was some huge number (1 million+?) of pirated copies playing online. *shrugs* I don't know how things worked for IW, but EA decided that every victory and kill you make in ANY facet of the game should be counted towards your "ranking". Thus they're gonna keep track of all your stats on a primary server. You can access the account from anywhere and play your guy from anywhere. IIRC IW kept all your stats and profiles on your hard drive which meant if you wiped your system, you'd loose your multiplayer rank, hich EA is actually gonna prevent. wow... i finaly can get a rank for playing a game... and it will be ONLINE!!! WHAT A REVOLUTIONARY IDEA!!! THAT MUST BE AN AWESOME PIECE OF SOFTWARE THERE!!!! PS: Starcraft had this 10 years ago already and without online only requirement...

You must realy heate the publishers then

One of the best comments about piracy, made by Brazilian Game developer (it's a little bit dated, but it hits nail on the head!!!) [quote name='"H

AFAIK they don't stack

Only if the providers charge for the content, which is Blizzard's IP... but you know, different countries different laws...

Yes, that's why I posted it, most of the time I start laughing around place 20 and can't stop until the end

unfortunately, I do

http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1011624p1.html only thing which surprises me is Crysis in the list... I would replace it with Magic Carpet 1 or Syndicate 1 and the nr.1 position is well deserved... i spent so many nights on X-COM 1 when i was teenager, that it's not nice

No love for the next Blizzard MMO? How did they make FFXI work with a controller? Is the combat slower? I pumped enough money into Blizzard already Time for change is at hand for me The combat was very similar to FFXII, not the same but similar... I never played it with controler, but SE was always console company, so i would not think that combat at consoles sucked... I must confess that i did not liked FFXI PC controls a lot, but it might be because i spent 3 years doing WoW when i played FFXI for a while... And WoW had realy awesome UI modding capabilities (original WoW UI kinda sucked for me aswell )... never searched for FFXI UI mods though

Well, I wasn't intimately familiar with the workings of FFXI. How many people do you see playing FFIV? 2 million? 4 Million? FFXI has steady subscriber numbers around 500,000... i bet SE has target to surpass these numbers... i dont think they do have such crazy plans like AoC and Warhammer had (being WoW killer) they are targeting specific audience and i bet they will turn into profit with few hundred thousand loyal customers... FFXIV will be totaly different MMO than any others i played so far (i did not played many so i bet more experienced MMO player would find similar games), it will be even totaly different game than FFXI (though still similar )... And what i love best, it will not be just copy of WoW... The closest MMO from what i have read will be SW:TOR or the SW: Galaxies before the patch which made 3/4 of all subscribers leave the game... The game will be focused more on SP experience (FFXI was mainly focused on group experience), but it will have enough content for group players. It will be very heavy story oriented game (unlike most of the MMOs, which offer only lore, but you dont feel as part of the story or even world)... The game will be skill based like EvE or Darkfall are atm (no levels)... More gameplay will be revealed soon... here you have article about all info gathered up so far http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV All I can say now, this will be my only MMO choice for the next few years to come I still don't know if i shall buy PC or PS3 version... but looking at my current gaming preferences i think i end up with PS3 version...

yes On both accounts? what you mean? FFXI has servers shared for people having PS2, Xbox 360 and PC versions... They do even have one of the best communication methods, where you can from in-game menu easily communicate with people who do not speak same languages as you do... The system automaticaly translates it...

yes

A wild guess is that it has something to do with chinese traditional religions. Its probably disrespectful from some standpoint. That would be the only thing that makes any sort of sense. I don't think that making a company cover up bones for an all-ages game is any different than making them cover up nipples for an all-ages game. Different socities have different notions of acceptable. this...

i so wish i could get one look's like Turn Based is thing of the past... At least some developers still do turn based stuff for DS and maybe PSP

WTF is Dofus???
