The first Call of Juarez was a horrible game. Not even worth a play imo.

It was never 60USD in SEA regions for EA games. Check the retail prices. Not the DD prices.

I am severely disappointed in myself for not doing the research necessary for my purchases.

I bought

CnC3: Tiberium Wars
CnC3: Kane's Wrath
RA3
RA3: Uprising.

Without the knowledge that apparently, Kane's Wrath and Uprising can be started as standalones.

I just wasted 12.50$ on two outdated games. ;_;

Someone actually bought me Dogfighter for 1 dollar about a few months back. I've never played anything further than the tutorial missions.

Revenge of the Titans now on steam. I wonder when the Humble bundle buyers will get it.

Time. Wait till daylight hours.

I know that Public Bank, CIMB bank doesn't let transactions go through when it is a few hours after midnight. Either due to security or because of the daily processing, I'm not sure.

Not really. If it's a crap game then not only are you spending money on buying it. You'll be spending money and time in tests of frustration and patience.

Not that you guys still buy games to play them anyways, for you it's more like a collecting hobby already. In which case you're really just spending money for nothing.

How is that an accusation? You've said it yourself that your games list is more akin to a collection now. ._.

Kian, cheesenium says we shouldn't just accept crap that companies give us man. We have to condemn games and systems in order to appear superior! GOTHIC 4 IS CRAP BECAUSE THEY DID NO EFFORT TO FIX THE GAMEBREAKING BUGS! THEREFORE IT SHOULD BE AVOIDED LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Or maybe I should go with his other sentiment, I hated it so it sucks donkey balls.

I'm mooching off my friend's X360, PS3 and Wii actually. I don't think that's covered under the DMCA as piracy though.

Fact is, why spend money on games you're not likely to play? Hell, none of you bought axel and pixel when it came out at 50% price. Only TotalBiscuit did and he made a stellar video of it. So at least he did something out of it.

With the new Play-asia member's club prices, the deals I'm getting is pretty insane. 60 ringgit to 75 ringgit games that are less than a year old. Pretty awesome.

Neverminds kidicarus. People spend their money as they please. If they want to throw money to a company because they have the money to spare, why stop them?

TiF,

I never had any negative connotations on the statement that he's collecting games in the first place, he took it the wrong way. Hell, I buy games just cause they're cheap too. But I'm just a lot more selective due to budget constraints. There's nothing wrong with collecting games on Steam as they're all cheap.

Gamers in general never offer genuine positive criticisms other than the fact that it's different. OMG GAMES LAST TIME WERE BETTAH! Y U DO DIS? Comments are everywhere, in fact, I found reviews like the DA2 review from frags to be in the minority. Reviews that compare the games towards the enjoyment value and what the objectives are is definitely the exception to the norm.

The prices are consistent. Console games have ALWAYS been 10 dollars more expensive than PC games no matter the region. It's 65 Dollars for a US region game for the PS3. 50 dollars for a PC game of the same name. The fact that they've dropped them to amazingly affordable levels, to the point where it can compete with digital distribution that doesn't have physical media logistics to talk about. Is pretty amazing.

As for your last statement. It's just a reminder that people don't always have to have all the games that are cheap. It's not a crime to ignore a good deal simply because you have no use for the product.

Kian: I was just joking on the Cheese says part. Everyone knows I hate Cheesenium's opinions as much as any other posters.

Kidicarus didn't say that it was awesome either, just that because it's buggy, it will definitely have a negative impact on the game.

You were expecting console game prices on sale to rival that of digital distribution? Retail with physical media. PHYSICAL MEDIA.

The full games were paid for. Just not by me. That's like saying people who borrows my bicycle is pirating it or something. Doesn't make sense at all.

The definition of Piracy is that a NEW COPY is made physically/digitally available. Nothing about being able to play on the same copy.

No, the problem with digital distribution as a whole is the fact that there will simply be people that will like physical media better, as well as the fact that physical media resellers still have to make a living. Gamestop, Gamefly and many other shops will be put out of business if the online retail is any lower than the physical copies. Companies cannot risk losing the exposure that is still generated via physical media.

Apparently it's fair to retail distribution resellers when you buy games at half the price online, or buy 2nd hand games where they get zero profit too. Oh, I know. Selective fairness. How 'bout that.

Holy shit, it means that it's not fair for people to be playing Lan games or playing Street Fighter/MVC3/RE5/Halo on the same console. f***. This is bad. Companies are going out of business!

Let's remove all offline co-op capabilities for all future games. That's the way to go. <3

Oh no. I wasn't accusing anyone of anything when I said they were collecting games and not playing them, it's a matter of fact. There were also no negative connontations on my statement either.

The shit hit the fan when I get accused of pirating when I go to a friend's house to play games.

Apparently it's also wrong in the same vein when I go to my brother's house to play PS3 games that I bought for him! Both he and I are in the wrong, cause you know what? I didn't need to pay for the PS3 too! OMG SONY MUST BE LOSING A LOT OF MONEY!

Stop misusing the word "flame".

Flame in the online slang context is an attack on a person, an ad hominem, or a rage induced post filled with fury of the vindictive nature.

H@h@: This forum is magical. Barely anyone can see things in the big picture.

I don't see other medias having DD overshadowing the physical media business. I must be living on a different planet than yours.

Amazon US provides 50% discounts on future games when you preorder. And they're a physical media reseller.

You think this cashback thing only happens with DD?

I have less than 20k Gamerpoints. Thanks for trying. I also don't have XBLGold, so it's impossible for me to go MP. I don't get your point in listing those reasons though. Doesn't help your argument nor helps your issue. I'm not pirating.

Then would it be okay for me to use my friend's XBL account instead?

An account was needed when in Gears of War 1, the first game I've played on the X360. An additional XBL offline profile had to be created for Local Co-op, if you have a way of getting past that. Do let me know.

The same goes for GFWL games with LAN, like RE5. A profile must be created.

Added on March 23, 2011, 3:47 pmExactly, even GamersGate and D2D doesn't give you cashback for day one purchases. So your argument is contradicting the facts of the case.

I don't get how listening to songs on the radio without paying is not piracy according to your logic, or using an atm machine without buying the service from the bank, or using the public transport without owning a bus.

f***ing pirates, how do they work?

What if a friend borrows a deck of cards to play Solitaire at his own accord. f***er should give me money for lending the cards to him.

Solitaire is a single player game. How dare my friend play Solitaire with my deck of cards. He should've at least gone for fishing so that both of us could play. f***ing pirate.

See, this is what a discussion is supposed to be about. We learn, we adapt, we grow.

I'm glad we have a conclusion.
