Kinda waste buying singleplayer game since you can download the crack one lol

it is still stealing from another. whistling.gif

what will u feel if u created wrote an assignment.. u spent like 3 weeks doing.. and a friend came and plagiarized everything you wrote, and claim it as their own? is that right? It might even cause you to fail the semester if you don't have enough proof to back yourself up? (in the case of developers u are stealing their profit margin.. thus causing more developers to dump PC platform and go for other platforms like iOS where they can earn more!)

it's the same way with downloading pirated games. right now Steam made it affordable for us.. till even other sites like Origin, GOG, HumbleBundle also had to copy the mass discounts in order to stay competitive. Last time we all complain can't afford to buy an Ori game coz it costs hundreds to get just one.. right now one is same price with a pirated copy on the market (CD form). You willing to buy those last time (when internet was heck slow to download) and now u complain? there's no more justification when a product's price fits your earning capability. (if you're a student I will still understand.. hopefully when u grow up.. do support original).

watching a movie in Malaysia is also affordable. RM15.. same price with getting a cetak rompak movie. u get that CD the most also u watch a few times.. would u rather not enjoy the full experience? without the risk of getting a faulty pirated CD with lots of distortions, lack of sound effects etc? It's the same comparing an original game and pirated game. Pirated game easily can contain more bugs (some purposely put in by the devs - they are geniuses else won't be game developers).. and they lack latest patches also (wanna update need download all over again). doh.gif

So please ... pros outweigh the cons.. there's no concrete reason for you to pirate. Like I said earlier.. if can't afford buy less.. buy those that you feel you 100% will complete. Skip the rest. Those of us who buy a lot end up didn't touch most of our games also... only advantage we have is we get to taste more.

don't be pirate/thief.. sure got balasan one day. Be good when you can. What goes around comes around.

I feel asleep watching a PD2 stream. Maybe it's more interesting to play than to watch.  rolleyes.gif

It's not your account so u dont feel it.

All that stress and tension.. once u completed the mission.. see ALL THAT LOVELY MONEY get banked into your account.. walaowe so damn worth it. Can use that money to buy upgrades, new weapons (tons of them).. customize character. Then once level up (sometimes several levels at once) - get to allocate skills and perks make your character more powerful.. (just need level up 1 time rather than several characters).

Then there's option to go on Stealth.. not getting detected.. faking voice to fool security, taking down all the guards before getting reported, avoiding lasers, avoid triggering the alarms.. so real man.

Not always u will succeed.. definitely at times will fail big time.. either your team being killed by tough cops like Bulldozers, SWAT, sniper cops etc.. or somehow fail to meet the dateline. Then watch whole team rage quit and have to join another.. but once succeed a heist.. fuuuuu... especially true for 1 skull or 2 skull missions (3 and 4 I haven't try) that pay out 200-300k USD dollars.. those are really fulfilling biggrin.gif

I saw SimCity Deluxe for USD20 over at Mexico Origin...any input on this? I loved the earlier simcity games.

no just don't.. still not worth it at this price.

problem with latest Simcity is the city size.. much more smaller than SimCity 4. Here:
https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/304343-...l-thread/page-7

it's 1/9 of the normal size of a regular SimCity game zzz. And you need to get complete edition too... the expansion is a must to make the city expand upwards (crazy skyscrapers of the future)

Thanks for this honest opinion. So I guess getting SimCity 4 might be a better choice right?

i tried playing Simcity 4... but the graphics just turn me off before i can go deeper lol.

it's cheap tho so u can wait for sales, get it and see if it suits you. Gameplay wise it is still deep smile.gif

Simcity 2013 has much better graphics and UI. just that the price. I don't find it's worth it. Max discount for complete edition is at 50% during winter sales - after conversion still around RM60. You can download the trial at Origin and see if it suits you... trial lasts for 4 hours before expire. Once start have to play up all 4 hours else time will keep counting.

if you can afford i'd say better go for Simcity 2013. It is more likely you will play the game longer there. SC4 graphics reaaally outdated.. u zoom in can actually see boxy pixels sweat.gif not optimized for latest PCs.

Get Sim City 4 or wait for Cities Skylines.



Still hope it might be good. The simulation seemed decently in depth at least but im concern about bugs and lag.

yeah and this also.. but hope they don't dissapoint.

Cities XL and Cities XL platinum have many bugs, not optimized for multicore etc, easy to crash to windows. So hope the latest one won't repeat their past mistakes.

Yeah, don't watch stream. Its pointless because you don't feel any satisfaction of completing a mission after repeating it 10 times. Play it.  thumbup.gif
Even robbing a small diamond store was fun.  whistling.gif

basically it is the epitome of how important team work is. Payday 2 is all about that.. much more teamwork required than say Borderlands 2, or even Left4Dead2.

If 1 stupid, troll person go trigger alarm during a stealth mission... the whole team needs to start all over again. Yeah this sort of epic consequences. laugh.gif

can be applied in real life in any situations too. biggrin.gif

some ppl suggest don't buy via Steam but directly from their site.. as it will show it "playing" rather than your game on Steam.
