News Comments > Star Trek Legacy Release Date
17. Re: Hmm.. Simultaneous PC and 360 releas Oct 2, 2006, 15:05  cliffski 
 
fine, thats a business decision. I dont care what reviewers think, sometimes i disagree. I bought lego star wars 2 purely because i unexpectedly found the demo to be brilliant. If s company would rather not let people see how the game plays, thats up to them, I consider it a totally stupid deicision. It's like making a movie but refusing to make a trailer.
As someone who makes his living from indie games with demos, I know that a demo is all important. The retail developers don't realise this. fair enough, plenty of other stuff for me to spend my money on. How can it possibly be 'a distraction' from making the game. the whole point is to *sell* the game right?
No disrespect to the developers in this case, but this game isn't Half Life 3 or Spore. It's not an automatic buy. If they want people to get excited, lets see a demo.

eh? you think I should just get a pirated copy? errr.... as a game developer myself I dont think thats exactly good advice. If they dont release a demo, then no sale, its no excuse to go hunting for a pirated copy.

id love it if it is really a good game, but no demo == no sale. Maybe I'll wait a year and get it for £5, unless they bother to do a demo.

News Comments > BF 2142 Demo Next Week
17. Re: No subject Sep 30, 2006, 05:08  cliffski 
 
ilove BF2, but the laod times are horrid, their tech support is useless, and 64 player maops are unusable because of the constant vocie spamming in everyones ears ALL THE TIME.
I dont care if you have spotted a sniper 10 miles away from me, STFU.
People have moaned about this since release date and its still not fixed, so fuck em, I wont be buying 2142.

24. Re: One more rip off from EA Sep 8, 2006, 09:44  cliffski 
 
well said, but for me, the in-game ads just push me over the edge to not even consider buying it. I never have, nor will, pay money for a agme with adverts in.

"We currently don’t plan on releasing a demo for the game"

Whats wrong with people. Does the game really suck that much?

If i whine that in my youth drivers were 400k, and now they are 61MB and are no better in any way at all, does that just make me a grumpy old bastard?

News Comments > More In-Game Ads
15. Re: This was an obvious Aug 31, 2006, 11:47  cliffski 
 
well said. I strongly oppose in game ads, I was forced to code this bullshit when I worked at lionhead. My games have no ads, they never will, people play games to esacpe from the advertising obsessed bullshit of real life.
If you pay money for a game, wtf are they doing stuffing ads in it?
Vote with your wallet. Dont buy games with ads in.

10. pay for promotions? Aug 24, 2006, 04:02  cliffski 
 
Is this for real? why dont they just go the whole hog and start charging you for ammunition. Maybe if you pay an extra dollar a week, you get first dibs on the helicopters and tanks eh?
pathetic.
