Catherine makes me feel dumb

The difference is that at Ebay it's just normal people, who want to get money back for a game they've bought and played. Where as with Gamefly it's a company which is selling games just to make money. It's a group of talent-less people mooching off of (mostly) talented people. Pirating is actually better than using Gamefly.

 

Not necessarily. Me renting a game from GameFly is just as 'hazardous' to the game developers as me just simply borrowing it from a friend or buying it used from GameStop. It's not like I won't still be buying games that I see myself playing for extended periods of time, either.

 

Also nobody uses Ebay anymore

You're not paying a separate corporation when you're buying it from a friend.
With gamefly you are.
And buying it used from Gamestop IS bad.
You can do whatever the hell you want, just don't try and justify it in anyway.

 

lol Well, as soon as publishers present some type of renting service of their games similar to Gamefly where I don't have to pay $60 before I even TRY the game, then I'm sticking to Gamefly. Unless I'm really excited about the game, then I'll just straight up buy it.

And it helps publishers, because I get to try their games that I wouldn't have otherwise spent full price for, and may just end up buying on my own if I like it and then just go on trying even more of their games. Whereas, without it, I could've just not have bought it in the first place, or just get it used online or at Gamestop.

So, either way, I think it helps.

 

If they can do whatever they want, don't try to demonize them for it either.

Besides, sometimes buying from the publisher or the current rights-holder is just as bad as any of the above, thus meaning there is no legitimate way to honor the developer/game creator. Case in point, oldies like Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Developer's not getting a penny of that anymore.

Yes, I do watch Jimquisition.

 

IT'S NOT LIKE THERE'S A DEMO OF THE GAME RIGHT!?

Once again
DEMO

Not demonizing.
I've pirated games before
I just know when I do pirate a game that I'm willingly hurting a company and I don't try and justify it with "WELL IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T BECAUSE..."

How? The only company I know that this would apply to is EA and Activison.

Can't give money to a company that DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE!

Also

Luckily nobody uses Gamefly so it's not as bad Gamestop.

 

What if I don't have XBL, or a very small HDD? HUH? HUH? BOOM. CHECKMATE. YOU'RE FINISHED. lol

Spoiler

inb4 HURR YOU CAN AFFORD $20 TO RENT TWO GAMES A MONTH BUT YOU CAN'T AFFORD ONLINE GAMEPLAY FOR $60 A YEAR?

Spoiler

I only mentioned that beforehand because it's a good argument.

 

HEY GUYS REMEMBER THIS GAME?



YEAH LET'S DiSCUSS IT

 

......
Uhhh
You..
You do realize that you don't have to pay for Xbox live right?
You only have to pay for Gold membership.

Spoiler

Gold membership doesn't include downloading demos

Also I highly doubt you don't have HDD space for a DEMO!

 

Seriously dude? Get off your high horse. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish but I don't think it's working.

 

I was simply explaining why using things like Gamefly hurts the industry.
Other people thought I was wrong so I was telling them why I wasn't
Get off your high horse

 

So back to the damned game I was hoping you guys would stick to discussing...

I feel like I've gotten a whole lot better once I figured out Inquisition. Haven't gotten stuck on any levels now. I'm up to the last floor of Clock Tower.

And now I find myself imitating Vincent's walk sometimes...

 

Then why are you so aggressive and condescending about it? Further, what part of that necessitates calling my choice of viewing material disgusting? That's an insult.

 

Back in the day I imitated P3's MC's "hands in pocket run"
Not my face is permanently broken

There's nothing wrong with being aggressive to get a point across as long as I'm not calling out derogatory terms or buzzwords.
Which if you noticed I haven't been at all.
The reaction image was exactly that
a reaction image.
A humurous image meant to display my reaction to a particular situation
I could have used this and it would still imply the same point

Spoiler

The point being that I hate the escapist

 

Pointedly telling someone you hate something that they just mentioned carries some implications of its own, you know.

And the quote didn't say >The Escapist, it said >Listening to anything from the Escapist. Sounds more like an insult of my character than of the site itself.

 

Though admittedly, I only watch Yahtzee's and MovieBob's stuff.

But anyway guys you're both pretty quit it and be cool.

 

I just wanted to use the damn reaction image
If you think I'm a jerk then go ahead, I really don't care. Just remember...

 

Ok, well, lets say I only have an original Xbox, PS2, Gamecube, GBA, NDS, 3DS, PSP and/or PSVita, so I can't DL demos, and I can't find the games that I want anywhere else.

BOOM. WHAT NOW SON

Haha, yeeeeeaaah, I thought so punk.

 

How are you gonna play Catherine in the first place without a PS3 or a 360?

Unless you're talking about a billion years ago when nobody had a next gen console.
Because Blockbuster was still open back then.
Your example doesn't apply to anybody in the year 2012

 

I miss Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. Any of those old video rental places really. They had a unique feel to them...

And I totally wish I coulda got the Collector's Editio for the undies, pillow case, and soundtrack :<
