Id like to know that one too, because I wont be picking this game up. knowing Activision it will be 60 bucks too. I didnt buy the first one so I damn sure wont buy this one either. Sounds more like sheer ego on their part to assume these type of sales.

I can tell you without a doubt Mr Michael Pachter that if you ever make a game I will be the first to pirate your game. Call me a thief because I dont follow your rule of thumb or think like you do. piss off asshole!!

News Comments > Alien Breed: Impact Demo and Pre-Purchases
8. Re: Alien Breed: Impact Demo and Pre-Purchases May 28, 2010, 16:53 Darks
 
Why do people continually bash good games that are pretty damn cheap to buy. I mean really you guys are such a bunch a whiners its pathetic. The game play is not horrible as some might lead you to believe. This is actually a very fun game. And don’t be fooled by the 3 maps that are coop. they are actually 3 maps broken up into smaller bits and objective driven. The game play will last you a few hours.

$13.50 for this game is a steal, stop all the bitching, I swear a developer give you guys a very cheaply priced game and you guys still do nothing but bitch about it. I guess if it’s not free it’s not worth supporting right?

Anyone know if this ones going to have the 2 player Coop like the last one did? If not that kind of blows, I wanted the second one to be on the pc because of Coop. Figures they would finaly bring the third game to the pc without Coop.

I would like to think I had a part in helping this change, every mod I made was made with Coop. Rune Coop, Mech 4 Coop, Mech 4 Mercs Coop. Never winter night’s mod Eye of the Beholder Coop. and there are more mods we made that also supported Coop.

But I am glad to see that this is changing and Coop is becoming more the standard out there. There really is no other way to play a game than with a few friends together. The experience is awesome.

News Comments > Epic on Piracy and PCs

Epic is nothing more than a Epic fail of a game developer. They don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground when it comes to discussing the impact of piracy. These guys are a fricking joke, they think that by counting all the torrent downloads that equates to a lost sale of a game. Please you dumb ass idiots. Wake the hell up. Most of those torrents would not have equated to a sale, in fact it’s been shown that the only about 10 percent of those downloaded would be a lost sale. Most people download a torrent of the game and treat it as a demo to see if the games worth spending their money on. That’s why there are so many torrent downloads. Do you homework Epic!! Stop Assuming!!

Epic Idiots, that’s what they need to rename their company too. I’m so glad I haven’t bought GOW. I will continue to boycott these idiots until they wise up or start producing games for the pc.

He means that they physically took some of their team members and transferred them to their team. Sounds kind of hooky to me, but that’s how I read it.

No you can’t, but it’s the fact that you are providing information, these guys will take any piece of info they can get to hack your account. i have a few guildies whose accounts got hacked, then they try to lock your account down with Blizzards own authenticators to keep you from logging into it while they rape your chars blind. What needs to happen so all your items don’t get sold off is let the user decide if he wants to make an item non sellable. Lv 80 chars don’t make money from gear, so locking down gear so it cant be sold off will lessen the impact of items being sold for gold when your hacked.

Blizzard needs to start banning IP ranges from China and put an end to this crap once and for all.

News Comments > Activision Signs Bungie for 10 Years
18. Re: Activision Signs Bungie for 10 Years Apr 29, 2010, 12:19 Darks
 
Don’t fool yourself for one min Beamer into thinking that Activsion won’t be pulling the strings with Bungie, because they will be. As for M$ owning Bungie, that was after they had announced Halo for the PC. Halo was always mean for the PC first. Then M$ came along and saw the potential of Halo for their Xbox launch and turned Halo into a consolitis release only.

You can say what you want and think but in the end, Activsion will be making the calls on any IP Bungie creates. Activision will be funding their projects and when someone is funding you, you’re at their mercy. I know this for a fact. A good friend of mine owns his own gaming company and he’s told me all of the horror stories that go on behind the scenes. It’s not pretty at all. If you think so just take a good look at IW and all the crap that’s coming down from that one. Yea, Activsion doesn’t own Bungie, but they will be calling the shots.

Well this is the beginning of the end for Bungie, I hope they enjoyed the ride because it’s going to get very bumpy from here on out.

Yea, Bungie is a whore, they sold out the Halo pc to M$. So there no telling what else they are willing to do now that they signed with the Devil.

Agreed though, Myth 4 would be nice.

5. Re: Call of Duty Announcement Saturday Apr 28, 2010, 17:36 Darks
 
Activision announces that because of the IW departures that they no longer have any staff on hand that can create the new game. Plus the fact that they are in a legal battle over the IP makes it very difficult for them to continue this franchise.

end of COD!! Signing off.....

The only thing I can agree on this artical is that Gaming is an addiction too. Not as harmful as drugs, but it is an addiction.

After all of these people are leaving you have to wonder if what those guys were saying wasn’t true. You just don’t see this many people vacate a company only to re-join their original co workers on a new company without some shady shit going on in the back end. I really believe Activision was pulling some low down shit with them. You know Activision is feeling the heat from this one.

BTW, as of earlier today, AC2 was offically cracked! The special note to Ubi is funny.

Special Notes
Thank you Ubisoft, this was quiete a challenge for us, but
nothing stops the leading force from doing what we do. Next
time focus on the game and not on the DRM. It was probably
horrible for all legit users. We just make their lifes easier.

For those interested, We made the Coop conversion of al lthe single player maps for this too. the Mod can be downloaded here. Im not sure if the game had any changes that might make the mod act up, but I will be testing that once its released.

add www to the start of the url, blues engine is to stupid to make the url for you like Voodooextremes site does. And their directions sucks ass to make a url.

This just in!

Make solid non-buggy games without forcing DRM down your customers throats while charging a fair price($59.99 fuck you)and people may just buy your games.

UBISOFT you havent a clue.

Games get pirated whether they have DRM or not, whether they are cheap or not, your argument is silly.

And $60 is a good price for the vast majority of gamers, by declaring it too much for you all you do is make them see you as less of a desired customer, frankly.

Games are big business now, for better or worse, and we need to adjust our expectations accordingly.

Hey StingingVelvet, So $60.00 is good for games in this day and age? Don’t kid yourself, it is not. Most games now are slapped out onto the market with 4 hrs tops in game play. Also lacking in features or story. This is not what I call a good deal in fact it’s insulting that you pay good money to get short changed.

I just bought The Scourge Project, pretty good game over all. 17.99 2 Episodes with 4 player Coop. We just finished the first episode that took us a little over 4 hrs. That’s a great deal, and we still have one more episode to go all for the low price of $17.99

This is where I spend my money, and support developers like this that do not rip the paying customer off.
