Poll: modern warfare 2, day 1 purchase?

[TK421]

I already pre-ordered it. Picking it up at midnight release actually.

 

[The_Prophet]

Wait, so you're blaming me for pirating it. Even tho I live in Serbia, One Euro is 93 Dinars, and I have so much money that I could probably buy two games every year. Plus they raised the price and removed the servers and by doing so made PC gamers furious. I actually made plans to save up money and buy the game but then BOOM!"No more servers for you blokes and we'll raise the price too! " said Activision/Infinity Ward/Whoever.

Also most player content is actually sweet, and if you know where to look you'll find some pretty awesome stuff.
Question: Do you actually play anything on the PC?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and even the "Shit flavours" are interesting.
EDIT #2: (Net broke) They risked piracy by doing what I already mentioned.

So? I don't even have $50 right now, and instead of being a lazy dick who can't earn his money, I'll choose to buy only Assassin's Creed when it comes out and HOLD OFF on MW2 until A. it gets good reviews B. the price drops, and C. I earn enough to buy it.

You keep bitching about how you're so sad that MW2 won't have Dedicated servers, but all you're really doing is trying to justify pirating the game. Chances are you'd pirate it even if they DID have the Dedicated servers. And really now? So they don't have them, they obviously still have a product you want if you're going to take the time to get it, so you should fucking PAY FOR IT.

I have a gaming PC by the way, and I can say that it's because of prats who pirate (such as yourself) that good games (AC2 for example) are being delayed on the PC, and that developers are just dropping PC titles all together for their more lucrative console counterparts. We won't even fucking HAVE mods for these games anymore if people keep pirating because they won't EXIST ON PCS ANYMORE.

Excuse me ma'am but did I say that I am not going to buy anything. With the money I saved to buy MW2, I'm going to buy Borderlands. I'm not going to buy MW2 because they raised the price. Most people in this country feels the same way too. I don't care what you say, really. I'm a pirate, I'm still going to pirate. I don't feel great about it but hey.
Yes! I would pirate it if it had Dedicated Servers! Why? Because of the fact that They raised the price
It's alright tho, you can call me a dick or prat or whatever. Just shows how immature you are.
Plus: I'm 14, how do you expect me to get money?
Interesting fact: I started saving up for this in April 2009.

 

[Eternal_24]

Where's the "I pre-ordered it" option? I thought that would've been pretty damn obvious...

 

[The_Prophet]

snipety snip

Are you aware that most "Stock" Tf2 maps are actually player made content that impressed valve?
I'm not going to argue you anymore. I see that you will never change your mind because you're right and it must be so!

 

[Eternal_24]

Order it from www.play.com and it will only cost you £45. The PC version should be the same as that too!

It's £35 on Amazon.

[EDIT]

Oops, my bad, the prices have changed, it's £43 now.

 

[Beartrucci]

It's going to be 120 dollars here in Australia.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS.

No.

No sale.

No way.

Activision do have a right to charge whatever the hell they want for their game. After all, they are the publishers. There's nothing immoral about what they are doing.

Still - not buying it. Not until it drops down to a price I find acceptable.

And besides, no dedicated servers? Multiplayer is dead for me.

It should only be $90-$100 at JB Hifi. Only EB sells games at extremely high prices.

Oh and I'm not buying the game at all. It just doesn't appeal to me. Maybe if I play it and enjoy the online I'll get it.

 

[Quick Ben]

I'm going to wait until it gets cheaper. It's already got a higher price tag than most games, and I have plenty of other games I want in the upcoming months, so the choice is easy. I can't get all at once anyway...

Higher price tag? It's just as expensive as all the other big hitters this year. But I agree with all the other awesome games that are out. I still have to get my hands on Tekken 6, Borderlands, L4D2, AC2. zomg so many

Well, It actually is more expensive. Activision decided they wanted to price it higher, because people were going to buy it anyway. For example, it's priced 59.99 Euros on Steam, while all other new games are 49.99.

Thats just some more recent titles, or the ones I still play. I can't remember every game I've played for PC after all this time.

I can't believe you didn't find "Non-Shit" player made content for those games.

I don't want player content, I want developer content. Thats what I paid for, and want to see, not "surfing" maps and flaming penis and the umpteeth ballizionth remake of "X" map from Mario or Halo.

I like how you say you don't like player made content and a chunk of those games live on through player made content and some of them even started as mods. Delicious irony.

I know some of them started out as mods. And I didn't care about them back then either. As a matter of fact, its pretty safe to say I hate all mods. The only ones I don't hate are ones attempting to be useful, but even then I just tolerate them.

And a good chunk live on through player made content? The only games that applies to are WiC, TF2 and CS:S. The others don't allow mods in the general populace, and single player games don't "die", because they were never alive to start with.

I recently got Morrowind and didn't want to look at it because it was so ugly.

Four user created mods later, it was one of the prettiest looking games I've seen.

What can possibly be bad about that?

*TO EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN THE UK AND IT GETTING THIS GAME - READ THIS NEXT PART!

[small]Tesco are selling it for £26.[/small]

Thank you!

I wasn't going to but I might now.

There are so many games coming out this November that I'll have to wait till Christmas for a lot of them (Left 4 Dead 2, Assassins Creed 2).

Interesting fact: I started saving up for this in April 2009.

So don't buy it? A new plasma TV would cost me a few grand, but do you see me stealing it because I can't afford that? No? Exactly. I can't stand these kids who steal online, but wouldn't have the guts to do it without the risk. Especially when what you're stealing would require a day of extra work. There are half a dozen games I'd like to get right now (read: Uncharted 2), but I'll hold off until I have the money.

You're 14? So? I'm only 17 and I still buy my own games, have been for years. I'm going to give you some advice that you can apply to the rest of your life. You ready for this? Ready? This is going to be mind blowing, I assure you;

GET A JOB.

I love the irony of being called immature by not only someone who's so lazy they'd rather steal than support game developers -essentially shooting yourself in the foot if you're a PC gamer-, but who's also barely a into his teens.

You're not near ready to debate this buddy because you've already lost.

I still file that under the "Oblivion" catagory, because they're at least trying to be helpful.

Come on! If ya think you're hard enough!
Listen, buddy, I'm a straight A student. I'm going to the best gymnasium in the city next year. I study a lot. My dad is a car mechanic and mum's unemployed.
You're telling me I should get a job and you're calling me a lazy dick... Hehe, You obviously have no idea what our school system is like. Oh, yeah, you're an American. I love how you think you're better than everyone else (No offense to the Yanks I know, but most of you do).

Oh and I do support game developers. Valve, Bethesda, 2k and BioWare for example.
Oh, forgot to mention: I also love how you think you're always right.
Oh, another thing: Don't underestimate me. I may be 14, but I am not an idiot.

 

[silverbullet1989]

WAS going to get it on pc but for obvious reasons i cancelled my pre-order. i arnt paying more for a half ass ported game to the pc, and i certainly arnt paying 45-55 quid for it on xbox

 

[Rutkowski]

Not buying this because IW turned from great designers to corporate whores in just one game; they want to have more control over the games than is healthy for a thriving community.

 

[TheRealCJ]

Yeah, I'll get it day one.

I mean, I've already pre-ordered it. Plus, there was no Price hike down here for the PC version.

 

[zombflux]

I'll probably either get it when it's cheaper or download it.

Holy shit, are you kidding? If not, I might get it before Christmas after all...

 

[SovietSecrets]

I'll have it on the first day since I already paid in full for it.

 

[elitecrewer]

Where's the 'I was going to get it on PC until IW removed dedicated servers' option?

There's no way I'm buying it now, it'll be TF2 and Dragon Age for me.
