I hate games, they are so boring.
I liked srategy games in the past (like settlers 4) but I wouldnt play with the new generation ones (to be honest i dont even know them, for example settlers 5 is a big fail).
Oh and FPS games all the same, cant understand why ppl play it.

You Mr, are so totally wrong about fps games :p I can agree that they are similiar, but not even close after all :s

Though I liked the olschool settler games, the new ones destroyed the game series :<

Well last time i installed STALKER adn then 1 week later Far Cry 2. Looked exactly the same to me. Pick up some weapon, go and kill the enemy. Sorry for being noob but i couldnt enjoy it.

I can't blame you for your opinion. But saying that they are like the same is kind of wrong. As every game has their own special commands/weapons/objects or whatever. But as I mentioned, of course they are similiar as they are categorized the same type of game.

maybe don't charge 100dollars per game.

if they charged say even 50, i would think you would see those figures more so cut in half and the nay sayers that where 50/50 and are too noob to download would buy it.

IMo.

but meh, money hungry fucks

Fizmo 9 Dec 2008, 14:45
Here it is 50 € a game actually but I still think that's too much. I would pay 50 € only for games like RTCW or red alert 2 (only a few of the red alert series r worth to buy tho) or when it's like 5 € after 1-2 year.

now take a look at the number of sold hardware thanks to piracy. i'd say it evens out. same goes for home theater components and mp3 players. you really think anyone bought enough music to fill up a 100gb+ ipod?

software developers need to go on a strike to get some money from the hardware corps, if they arent getting any already.
