I'm sure you could elaborate, but if a character or two you really liked dying is enough to rage over, it's hard to take your complaining seriously.
Exactly if you hate a publisher/devleoper enough to say your gonna do a boycott; do it right and not some half arsed (non)effort.Zhukov said:So.. you hate them so much that you're going to buy their next game?
Yup, that'll show 'em.
In a capitalist society, your dollar can sometimes be your strongest form of voice; stopping a company's income tends to give the message that the current status quo is not something their customers appreciate, which forces changes on their part. If you want to see change in the industry, then yes, a good start is by stopping your investing in their current ways.Adultism said:Oh yeah lets not buy a game that we want to play, that will show the developer, as a matter of fact I'll stop buying games and playing games because I don't like how the industry works anymore
THAT WILL SHOW THEM.
SecretNegative said:That made me lol.Sewer Rat said:pff, that "plothole" has been explained:Daystar Clarion said:Or... *takes a deep breath*Fappy said:You mean like not being able to decide how powerful the force is?
Starkiller, a Sith apprentice can tear a Star Destroyer out of the sky, while Yoda, a Jedi Master, has difficulty lifting a fallen piece of debris.
Not being able to force run due to plot convenience (see generator scene in Star Wars Episode 1)
If you are serious though, that really is a cop out.
I don't know why people in general "don't like how the industry works anymore". 2010 was amazing and 2011 even better if you are into indie and alternative games, and things like Steam have been a godsend for that kind of games. Then there are some established devs like Atlus, THQ, Arena Net, to some extent Valve and Bethesda just to name a few off the top of my head trying to do innovative and interesting stuff, sometimes failing, sometimes succeding.Adultism said:Oh yeah lets not buy a game that we want to play, that will show the developer, as a matter of fact I'll stop buying games and playing games because I don't like how the industry works anymore

You appear to have missed the point of boycotts.Acrisius said:HAHAHA, yeah right. One dude not buying something will DEFINITELY show someone who has no idea that dude even exists.Clive Howlitzer said:This. Everyone loves to rage about stuff like this but in the end, they don't show their opinion in the one way that matters, by not buying their games.Zhukov said:So.. you hate them so much that you're going to buy their next game?

Well golly. Tell it how it really is, Captain Killjoy. ;_;Dandark said:Didn't you hear? Bioware is dead. They were dragged into a dark alley and brutally beaten to death by EA who then stripped them and started wearing it's their clothes. Then they started passing those clothes out between their friends.

I've called DA2 the most average game of 2011.ZeroMachine said:Your rage is null and void the second you buy another game of theirs.
Kudos on the fail, dude. If you hate a company so much as to speak like this, shouldn't you not support them at all?
Also, and everyone, do me a favor and realize this:
DA2 WAS NOT A BAD GAME.
Worst than the first one. Not an AMAZING game. But it was mediocre at worst.
Sadly that is a very valid point. The exact reason I haven't pirated any Activision games yet.shado_temple said:The trouble is, companies tend to also look at any available statistics regarding the number of pirated copies of the game, and see them not as sales lost to "justice", but rather sales lost to gamers who just didn't feel like paying. If you really want to send a message to a company, you have to have the will to keep away from their products completely, instead of hiding behind rationalizations while you cave.astrav1 said:Not that I do this but I believe some people pirate in the name of justice. The best way to get a company to change their minds is by hitting them in their wallets by making sure they don't receive money through boycott or piracy.Lord Revan 117 said:(Spoilers)
Not only do I wait fucking 10 years for a conclusion to KOTOR's plotline only to be offered a bloody MMO, but you make me kill my main character from the 1st game AND HK-47!? Is Bioware trying to troll its fanbase that have been waiting a decade by killing 2 fan favourites and making us pay monthly for a WOW clone?! This is not fan-service Bioware, after DA2 I hoped you would get your act together. I swear ME3 is the last game i'll buy from you.
("you", of course, being this hypothetical justice pirate, not you as in the person I'm quoting)
