I don't hate anyone. I just don't like people who take life too seriously. Like their problems actually matter.

The fact that you only preorder to preload games shows that you don't care about the situation that is seriously effecting the gaming industry. Continue to waste your money. You're part of the problem.

                                               

Deal with it.


You seem to be painting me with the same brush you do everyone else, which I resent. I'll show you why.

So,

I'm apart of the problem because I trust talented, honest, trust-worthy developers (who are everyday people, like you) with my money upfront so I can play their masterpiece of blood, sweat and tears before anyone else I know?

I'm part of the problem because I pre-order games that come out once or twice a platform generation, (MAYBE)?!

That makes sense to me!


Get your head out of your ass, kid. Your self-righteous bullshit doesn't work on me.
You're preorder based blindly on faith and trust instead of evidence.

Yes, because that faith and trust in the developer has been earned, time and time again.

It's literally $120 spread over 7-10 years. Fucking calm yourself. You're like the spanish inquisition of pre-ordering.

It shouldn't be assumed everything is broken until proven otherwise.
If I sold you a pound of gold wouldn't you like to make sure it was actually gold before I took your money and ran off?

Of course, but that's not what I'm saying.

A smith who consistently sells you quality-crafted materials would be insulted if one of his regular customers suddenly came around and said "I just want to verify that this is gold, you never know in today's market", despite honestly and flawlessly providing you with the materials you've asked for, time after time. Same with KojiPro, or Rocksteady. Which is why I'm buying their games, day 1.



I would like to reiterate my stance, however. I was on mobile before, I didn't get to go as in-depth as I would've liked to.

IF you plan on buying your games physically on day 1, there is absolutely NO excuse for you to pre-order. They won't run out of copies at your local game store, don't worry. This isn't 2004.

But, if you plan on buying your games digitally, than there is only one reason to pre-order: pre-loading. Most games come out on Tuesday, and I don't get home from school until 3:30 PM most days. I want to play ASAP, right then and there, for specific games. I'm taking the whole week off to play Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain as soon as it's released, so I want as much time with the game as possible. Same with Arkham Knight (I'm not taking the week off, but you get the idea.) These are the only two game developers that have consistently given me a product that was well worth the asking price, so I'm okay with the trade-off of potential "broken-ness" for early game time.


So really, I think your issue is buying games on day 1, NOT with pre-ordering. I agree, pre-ordering games from unknown developers or untrustworthy publishers is one thing you shouldn't do. Franchises I've loved for years (Halo, Battlefront, Ratchet and Clank, anything Naughty Dog produces, anything Bungie produces) will be taking a backseat on the pre-loading train until I see quality reviews and I agree with the ratio of content/asking price.

Pre-ordering after the game has gone gold completely removes the issues you bring up.
No it doesn't.

A game going gold doesn't magically mean it'll be functional on launch, or won't be complete  and utter shit.
You're still putting blind faith into a game and developer in the hopes that the game isn't fucked.

It's like you think games have a natural inclination to be broken.

It shouldn't be assumed everything is broken until proven otherwise. And to say that reputation means nothing is (I would assume) pretty insulting to developers who consistently put out quality games.

I preorder whatever game I want.
You shouldn't

Unlike most people, I preorder games that I research and have had a good reputation from the developer. Preordering is showing support for the company. Will I do it for a game that's a piece of shit? No. Will I do it for tthe next portal or L4D? Maybe.
Reputation and trust means shit all.
Researching a game won't determine if it'll work on release or be good.

Pre-order isn't showing support. It shows that you're willing to fork over money for a game that's not finished, which gives developers less of a reason to make the game work.

Pre-ordering hurts the industry.
Pre-ordering every othe game title you purchase hurts the industry. For example, I plan to  preorder Battlefront. You know why? Because there has never been a Star Wars game with a shitty story, even the gritty ones.I highly doubt Battlefront will break this example, you know why? Because the story team over at Lucasfilm is keeping DICE and EA in check to bring a good Star Wars experience.
You're pre-ordering on blind fanboyism over Star Wars. That doesn't excuse pre-ordering.
You're also pre-ordering from EA.

I'm a big fan of Halo, yet I don't pre-order them because I don't want to buy a game that has the possibility to be bad or broken.
If it is broken, then pre-ordering it just shows MS that people will buy it regardless of how functional it is.

Even if Battlefront does have a good story, that won't mean shit if the game is anything like what BF4 was when it released. Even if you don't play the multiplayer, you absolutely should not be okay with that portion being broken just because you don't play it.


You shouldn't pre-order. Trust and reputation means absolutely nothing.

Pre-ordering after the game has gone gold completely removes the issues you bring up.

Because I recently became, like, the biggest fan of Metal Gear.

And I identify with Big Boss/Solid Snake/Liquid Snake a lot.

I have a lot of different avatars, of all the same character.
5/10

i dislike gifs that don't loop perfectly

Eh, I don't mind them. Beggars can't be choosers, I suppose. There are only so many perfectly-looping gifs of MGS4 Young Snake.

Yeah, I love it.

I think my Big Boss cosplay turned out quite well, actually.

Shameless plug of something I'm proud of

Make an arm piece so you can be MGSV Snake

A couple things would need to happen for me to cosplay MGSV'S Venom Snake:

I would need a new eyepatch. The one I have only has two straps, I would need 3.

I would need to cut my hair slightly so that I can have a semi-mullet.

And I would need to finish my prosthetic arm thaf I'm working on.


All in due time. I have a year before Halloween and a few months before E3.

Probably have a lot more sex than I am currently. Smoke a lot more marijuana.

Probably give my body up for science while I'm still alive. Like, try to transfer my mind into a machine or clone myself or something.

« on: February 20, 2015, 01:39:58 AM »
I know. But how does this situation prove that?
You asked for the title "Legendary Hero" so he just gave you the title Snake. It was insinuating that Snake and Legendary Hero are synonymous

which you didn't catch

which is why I called you dumb

like

seriously

FUCK

Considering TOTD had to explain it to you as well, your insult kind of turns on itself.

Perhaps if it was a more obvious joke, instead of a believable mistake, we both would've picked up on it a bit earlier, hmm?
I was actually explaining it to you kek

SecondClass in reply to Snake:
You have to update the script.

TOTD in reply to SecondClass:
Actually, I did that on purpose.



That's what I'm talking about.
That's because I didn't update the script, so I still saw you as Legendary Invincible. When I updated it and saw your title was "Snake", I instantly got it.

This is pretty petty arguing, by the way.

I wasn't the one who started it. I'm only defending myself. It's not like TOTD and I are good friends to the point of poking fun at each other... I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was a genuine mistake.

Not to mention it was a really poor joke to begin with.

Whatever. I achieved what I wanted, I have no more use for the conversation.

I'm the embodiment of the codename... neither Naked, nor Liquid, nor Solid. I am simultaneously all of them and none of them at once.

ITT: people mad over their titles
Help?
You have to PM TOTD for yours

unless he just comes up with one himself, like he did for me
You asked for this title, lol

And you can make your own custom ones. I'm just updating a default database every few hours.

How?
You can edit the code on your end to make custom titles that only you can see, or I can update the database so that everyone sees the same ones. The code itself is pretty self-explanatory.

Well can you make my title "Legendary Hero"?
Done.

Are you sure? Because right now it looks like my title is just "Snake".
You have to update the script.
Nah, I made it that way on purpose.

Gee, thanks...
It was a joke, mang. Because Snake is the legendariest of heroes. ehhhhh

Okay fine I set it to what you asked for lel

Thanks.
Although I would've made my title Big Boss then, he was more legendary than Solid.
