This is great

I love CTF.

Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3!

"This is ridiculous, you watch trailers, download demos, find friends who have it, go to the shops and ask about it etc. It's not a privilage to be able to pirate games for your personal shopping choice benefit - which I highly doubt actually happens anyway, buying it after I mean. Making it sound so relaxed is exactly what is wrong with the pirate industry today."

Of course, of course. When demos aren't available though I want to actually get a chance at some gameplay. I use piracy for the sole fact of gauging the quality and appeal that the product has to me. Have you not ever tried a program or something and found it nothing like you expected? Even if you did your research on it?

"Maybe so, but I bet you don't do it as often as you think you do. I'm not just directing it at you either, but a lot of people do this."

A lot of people do, yes. However, I own almost every game on my computer now. I don't own Black Ops, but I own it on the PS3 and I much prefer it on the PS3 so I'm removing it. I also don't own Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, but I'm buying that too. So, that makes two games of my 22 that I have.

"This is also a load of ********. Free game demos are released all over the internet that you can download off many different sites and aswell in magazines. It's just often though people ignore them and go straight to the torrent sites instead because they can't be bothered to pay or download the demo."

I don't order game magazines so I wouldn't know about demos from there, but I don't see many demos these days.

I'm not trying to be all "relaxed" about piracy. Some people purely pirate games and never buy them which is stupid. On the other hand some games are terrible and I'm glad I didn't waste my money on them.

This guy sums up my thoughts:
"Piracy has done a lot of good for me.

If it was a **** game. I'm glad I didn't buy it.

If I really loved that game, I bought it.

It is that simple."

Personally, I would love to see more demos for games coming out. I think it gives you a good taste for the game and provides so much more than media and trailers do.

I have pirated a fair share of games, but end up buying the one's I really do enjoy a lot. Typically if I don't like a game I've just pirated I usually remove it within the hour of getting it. To me it's useful to be able to get into the game and try it before you fork over the cash, so that's why I do pirate games time to time.

If companies put a little more time in the development process and made demos then obviously I would get the demos. Honestly, I think that would help a lot more with the piracy issue. It seems though that the trend for game companies it to just get the game out as quickly as possible. You know when they have taken that extra step with doing things like demos, or releasing well done modding SDK's.

I look forward to modding this.

*cries*

I wouldn't say it isn't possible...

Yeah, lovely story there. It really adds a great deal to the game when it has nice dialogs and cool pda findings. :)

Interesting article you wrote up here. I haven't played any of these mods so I can't offer my opinion about them. I do want to give Lurk and Pre-Sky a try soon though.

However, there are a lot of mods that do a "complete overhaul" of the XRay engine and make "a polished NEW game". That just isn't the case from what I have seen. The vast majority of the mods available for Stalker are one's that change the textures and claim to give the engine stunning new visuals and play styles. They claim to be artists and from what I have played my eyes end up hurting.

All around I look at these mod pages and they all look the same saying the exact same things. "Amazing Graphics", "Amazing Atmosphere", "Amazing Everything, ever". Ok, so the last one was exagerated, but you get my point. If they were truly making a new game it wouldn't be Stalker.

What annoys me is people play these "uber graphic" mods over the vanilla game the first time they play it. You got this game for a reason just play it the way the developers intended the experience to be and then play the mods after.

Just my thoughts.

By far my favorite piece so far. No complaints.

I really liked it up to 1:03, but after that some of the synths you used kind of clash with the whole composition and kind of bother me.

Other than that, great work.

Oh hey.

Good work, mate. Can't wait to see it finished. :)

Thanks man, I'm way excited to see what you can do. :D

Yet this 'trailer' is just ripped clips made by "TERRIBLE EA" put to some music that has most likely been ripped from somewhere else.

If you are going to make a trailer, show off clips that you have made. The whole thing just looks like trash.

I'm surprised you aren't being a whiney fanboy about much stuff is EA related here.

:WAT

That's boss.

"The top banner/logo could use something different from green tib. ;-) 's too banal."

Check the banner now... ;)

Hopefully the ingame one will be. However, I don't know if Aro has figured out proper coding for how the ingame one will work.

This is conceptual art that I drew for the thorn monster, if you guys are wondering. :D

Thanks! :D

Give your terrain artists an actual to-do list :P

Consider updating. ;) or removing the pic.

ah.

Don't look like desert. Look like yellow spikes. :P Anyway, Creagor just cut them out of the TS Concept art. :P

Arf.

I like that mech. I don't like mechs with rockets/guns/moar guns and guns!!! With 2 legs. They annoy me. I only like the titan and wolverine. :P

Machine! I need to get you some bloody terrain done. >_< Anyway good luck and I hope to get you some stuff done. ;)

Curious, what's that bank type ramp in the back there? Is the roof high enough so I could skate that thing? Just curious. :P
