a Car is a Car.
Why bother to get Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari when you can just get Proton for a much lower price?

Simple because it is worth it, when you have a major crash in a Proton good chance you will be either serious wounded or dead. While the other car model offer better protection that can saves your life. Not to mention other feature such as GPS, leather seat and multi CD changer etc.

People buy original because they know it is worth their money. It give them access to what pirated version cannot, such as Internet multiplayer, tech/patch support, stable performance and merchandises.

Even if you dont get to play online,you still get to play mods offline or add patches to your copy which i found it's really worth it,even i dont use the online multiplayer feature.

patches dont work for pirated version as far as i know.

but then again... we don need the ori version for tat... look at how the sims 2 and their exp pack kena...

BTW... 2 games a year is like ... i buy 2 games per month... or more...
RM30-80 for DC and C&C3 i will buy wif no questions asked... but juz stupid o9 games or other side games...

Not 100% true.Patches do work on certain games.

I mean mods not expansion packs.Mods need the latest patch for it to work.Without latest patch,it wont even work.

yeah... i know... even exp pack also need to upgrade version.... like DOW:WA... u need to upgrade to v1.4(if i not mistaken...)... still kena cracked...

although i will feel kinda proud owning a couple of ori games(even free one) but sometimes i think i don really need it cuz only need to play o9 which i can't becuz of my mum...
summo if we spend so much on the games where to find money to build a super rig to play those games...

Yeah,thats true but so far the only game that require to patch to install expansion is DoW.

Ori games arent hard to get.Just save and you can get one but a good rig,i got nothing to say.

taking about the sim 2 , its one of the most expensive game to be played if you missed a year plus of it and buying it all in one shot , for me la . lol , exp pack costs RM 70+ , its like there is more than 5 fun exp pack there to upgrade ( total is RM 350+ without the original game ) .
btw , now there is localized version of games , it roxx ! Rm 80 . the packaging means nth . example : Stalker .
I seldom get my stuffs from BT and jacked sims dont really work well , what a shame .
its all about financial management wat , if here we dont have pirates then everyone will be saving for the ori . Nowadays pirates had been hiding since the first two dogs arrived . So ori got some space for itself .

after buying original games.
Feel that all pirate CD suck... its was either crash or getting error.
Original games dont crash and have web to support u trought the error

Yeah,i seconded that.

But sometimes ori games also suck especially console ports. Bought the latest splinter cell. Oh boy buggy like shit even after patch. Control also not made for pc.

The first splinter cell were so good for pc

Well..If the game is OMG great i'll buy it....Cough*Company Of Heroes*Cough


And I won't buy sucky game with lame support *Cough*EA*Cough



I would buy Original game with good Multiplayer.....Single Player games....Why bother to buy original...and for MMORPG..Private server...can't affort RM120 for 2 month of WOW .

yeah... tat's wat i'm talking about... there's no point in buying original single player games... which is y it's getting lesser these days... and there are web supports from pirates if u know where to look... i won give out the links though... and it's far better than any official support... and there are always underground patches for any mods, any patch, any exp all around... and there is an obvious pirate site as well... u will laugh when u see their homepage...

I guess I'll ahem test out the game before I buy it unless there is a cheap pre-release game.

Hmm...like yeah. Of course I do. But they're local packaging or something is missing from the original game box. Dude...seriously. Tell me where can I get RM 30 - 80 range games with a wide selection of choices? Perhaps old games, yeah. But who wants to play (maybe some do) 10 year old games ?

nope sup com localised edition is 80 ringgit.

I never buy those console ported games.I hate those console menu.

I will never subscribe to any online games except maybe Eve Online.

You can get Sup Com and Stalker for RM80.Some games also fall to that range during pre-order like NFSC.

last time, preorder C&C3 u can get as cheap as RM79 if not mistaken. but too bad, C&C3 is not my style.

I saw one of the Sims's expansion cost RM60 during pre-order.

do u know how many exp are there for the SIMs 2...? and ahem version usually have more than 1 game... RM10 for 1-3 games... of course u can't shut them down... some offer buy 3 free 1... RM30 for 4-12 games... not tat i support the pirates but im juz considering wat's best for my own money... but someday i will stop buying them and get ori instead...
