I'm pretty sure that the failure of those games had nothing to do with piracy.

uhhhhhhhhh......

Crysis?

[Legendary Blue Shirt]

No one can run Crysis, that's why it's not selling.

[Tsubasa☆]

Taking a slight tangent here:

Now that you mention it, what's the point of region locks? Sony appeared to have disposed of it for the PS3.

It's so deceptively simple, it's sometimes easy to overlook.  To put it simply, companies don't want importing to cut into the domestic market for their games.  Whether they fully intend to release the game in that region or not, they want to be able to control their market and especially its revenue.  And honestly, they have every right to do it.

No one can run it at 60fps with Max settings.

any half-decent gaming rig can run it 50-60fps in Med or High.

uhhhhhhhhh......

Crysis?

And what does Crysis have to do with Psychonauts and Advent Rising?

Like why the hell didn't ppl get pshconaughts or advent rising, 2 amazing games that flopped for no stinking reason.

I was replying to the comment about sins of a solar empire was so awesome that ppl bought it, by the way I have SoaSE, yeah its bassically a watered down Real time version of the greatest TBS ever Masters of Orion III, plus the AI's sucked way to hard, but it is fun to play with friends.  The Jesus beam was the best super weapon in the game with 1-2 strikes it completey destoryed an oppenents economy until the cannon could recharge, my friends hated it and it became a race to see who could not die and get the jesus beam first.

I know my roommate has one, I didn't think they had any good games but he showed me all these cool games I went to the best 50 games for dreamcast and my cousin who also had a dreamcast didn't have 1 despite owning over 30 games.  I love the dreamcast.

Did I just hear this thread being saved from itself?

the failure of Crysis is highly attributed to its piracy.

don't get me started on MOO3. I was one of those who bought the game on release day. I'm like 2 hours into the game, and i can't figure out anything, the manual was thick but was a very poor read. I couldn't even figure out how to get into combat. Lucky for me i realized how shitty it was and threw it on ebay as fast as i could trying to cut my losses.

i have MOO2 on my computer currently.

That has nothing to do with Psychonauts or Advent Rising, though.

Psychonauts is such a great game, I was not aware it failed due to piracy.

[Jealousy]

Well, the game barely sold at all (barely over 100k), I didn't think it was due to piracy either, though.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

i was not making a comparison of Crysis to Psychonauts.

You made a statement about Psychonauts & Piracy, therefore it was a good jump-off point for me to link Crysis & Piracy in a similar manner.

whats so difficult about moo3, the only problem was finding out that you had to design your own units, or at least press the create class button, the rest was similar enough to every other TBS that it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.  Ohhh and by the way MOO3 was really glichy until the patch came out 2 months later thxfully I got it like a year after it came out.

Loving making custom units in MOO3 nothing says unorthodox like filling super dreadnaughts with only a shit ton of thrusters, and the rest all point defense weaponry and flying into point blank against the enemy.

[Jealousy]

MOO3 was terrible, especially compared to the awesomesauceness of MOO2.

Alright then. Next time, however, you might want to actually make that clear in the first place.
