Demon's Souls is awesome though. An old school dungeon crawler with fantastic visuals, atmosphere and sound design.

And pain by the bucket... the brutal kind.

Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

 

Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

I hear it's hard and the name kind of doesn't make sense.

The name makes sense after you play and finish it.

1.13 killed off Ja2.

Stacking developer walkthrough: Part 1, Part 2

Reminds me that I need to beat Messiah some day. Never could beat Evil Bob in the end battle >_

So it's about a demon who has a bunch of souls(that are not its)?

 

Those crafty Japanese!

That's right. And you are it's champion or that other guy who slays the world but then decides to be the savior instead.

1.13 killed off Ja2.

I'm sure there's a TV trope for each of those and it would make some more sense as well.

Treasure Hunter Institute, free-to-play adventure MMO from Frederick Raynal (Alone in the Dark, Little Big Adventure)

Shadow Broker, Overlord and Kasumi, each pack for 200 Points today on Xbox Live.

Bought all three.

LOL Mass Effect 2 has more PC pirated downloads than total sales for the PC and 360 combined.

Piracy sure killed BLOPS' sales.

I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.
I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.
Heja Sverige!!
Everyone should cuffawkle more.
The wrench is your friend. :bat:

ahaha, exactly what I was thinking :)

Of course it did, it would sell tons more on PC if it wasn't for piracy.

Regardless, we are still superior! :D

 

Wonder how accurate these numbers are anyway.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

?? because all those rich pirates out there were just itching to buy this game?

 

correct me if im wrong but aren't most (ie more than 50%, less, probably, than 90%) pirates unemployed basement dwellers?

 

I know several people who only pirate, never buy. one works at target, one has never been employed, one has been unemployed for 6 years. these people wouldn't have bought jack **** but they DO pirate 100's of games every year.

 

I do not know anyone who pirates who also has more money than rent. (i know my anecdotes are scientifically worthless, but so was dagons claim)


Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

wasn't that irony on WoD's part?

Nope, WoD expressed views like that in the past.

Agreed. Definitely not a 1:1, or maybe even 1:10 for every pirated unit, but still, it would sell more. The habitual pirates would have to figure a way for actually paying for their entertainment, which would mean that you could probably get your lawn mowed for less. :)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Bet you that a percentage of the sales were from people who had pirated the game and bought it later.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

 

*If you can't tell, it's you. ;)

Likely a very low, neglible percentage though. *shrug*

DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

I wonder why publishers even care making PC games anymore. If the QA on it is so expensive and the pirating so vivid, why even bother?

 

Certainly those usual 200-300k unit sales can be neglected in favor of making it console exclusive and thus forcing more gamers onto consoles. Certainly a better decision business wise.

Probably because of piracy; PC games are released way after their console counterparts in a lot of cases. After they have made their profit piracy is just another mean of publicizing their products, some will actually buy the games and others become fans. Which means that they join the initial sales numbers.

I know several people that pirate because they can. One is an accountant that makes over $60k a year.
