Tikimotel Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 I bought most Lucasarts stuff in the past Dark Forces,X-Wing,Tie-Fighter,Full Throttle.. Most of the time, I "review" the warez and when I really like the game I buy it when it becomes "whitelable" or a "reprint".. I bought Half-Life,Homeworld,Opposing Force, Colin McCrae Rally e.a. all whitelable, or re-publishings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fade68 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Hi, I buy most of my games. I'd be lying if I said I didn't burn some though. However, I'm sick and tired of spending upwards to 80 bucks on a game, get home and find out it is a buggy mess. So i'm all for the try before you buy idea, however, if I do like the game, then I do believe it should be bought to support the team that created it.

marksticks Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 i only download games that i wasn't gonna buy anyway so i can try em out. and i usually play em once then never play them again. when you buy the game its like you're more attached to it for some reason and you play it more.

altezza Veteran Posted April 15, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2002 I only buy real copy of games if I found the game that interest me a lot. I only download games for try out...then if I like it then I'll buy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekrosoft13 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 i usally buy good games, when i like a particular game i will buy it. but i had some bad experiece once, about 8 months ago i bought age of sails 2, bacause i liked the screens, i never seen a demo, so i bought. and thats possible the worst game i ever played and both in my life. so right now i'm being more carefull, i try out the game before i decide to buy it. there should be renting places to rent pc games, just like consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jumbo Video had them and Blockbuster, etc etc... As soon as the cd burner came out they dropped they concept because how easily games could be copied. pop it in..hit copy button..etc etc. done and done. (i have a feeling someone is going to say something about dvd ripping or copying tapes next... :roll: ) what do you think the warez sites are there for? try before you buy! ya..everyone here on the board says they buy games legit..but look at the poll..more than 50% voted they get 'em dling:roll: and for age of sails..what i thought was a demo..21mb..was the full game..what a peice of s***..*delete* I bought starcraft & broodwar.

mortensen Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I buy good games... I obviously 'try' before I buy because most games aren't worth it. One example of a game I bought because I played the 'warez' version was Tribes 2... wow, what a cool game; now if only I could run it at a decent speed. Doh.

nekrosoft13 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Originally posted by sedative that is a great idea renting pc games, its just like renting console, dvd or even vhs tapes, you can copy any of them. they should make renting pc game stores again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celsyus Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 the last game i bought legitimately was half life. I only buy the games that require a legit. cd-key to play online, AND are very very good. Everything else is burned. btw, to all you people using p2p to get warez (edonkey, kazaa, etc etc.) - there is a very high risk in doing this as some software has embedded viruses, spyware, and other junk. Try finding better sources if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Call me sad but I do not actually play any games at all:S. I have enough time to get on with my studies and my programming really. Can not find the time to do games. Just thought to share my thoughts on this as the question asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek_rocker Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 saying stuff like edonkey buys the game for me is bad, i mean if you like the game at least you can do is go out and buy it and support the developers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted April 17, 2002 Author Share Posted April 17, 2002 there should be renting places to rent pc games, just like consoles there was a store still doing that near my house, but they closed.

Mossy Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I generally buy games a year or so after they come out, I'm a patient lad and my psx/ps2/pc all have great back catalogs. The only new games I get are import ones for the psx/ps2, but I order the PAL versions of those when they come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
