"Piracy doesn't hurt game developers" - You can't expect a sale from someone who wasn't going to buy in the first place

"Smash isn't a fighting game" - It's not. It's a platform based beat em up.

"Video games cause aggressive behavior" - Highly competitive players who play games that have a simple "I'm better than you" mechanic tend to bring out this behaviour. Don't even try to argue with this. I know even you have gotten frustrated at losing. Being aggressive enough is how you win in the first place.

""I support game developers" yet pirates games" - Like what you see? Buy it. Tell your friends about it. They'll buy it in your place, where they likely would have never considered it. This is true for a lot of games on Steam that I have recommended.

""I love Nintendo" didn't support the Wii U" - These are two completely opposite issues. People who love Nintendo probably did support the Wii U. You also don't have to love the Wii U to love Nintendo.

""All censorship is bad" only bitches about less nudity/sexualization" >implying those same people haven't been participating in threads for bad ends being removed, features being axed, words being sugarcoated to please sensitive people, things being perceived as possibly racist being removed, etc. Maybe you're the one who is focusing on those problems too much, my friend.

"PC gaming costs less than console gaming" - it does. Especially if you pirate. Have you seen the price of PS4 games these days? Thanks for being an example of something that I find funny.

"Gaming is a boys club" - It kinda is. Have you noticed how the serious gamer girls have pretty much foresaken their femininity to fit in with other gamers? How "girl gamers" have been treated simply for being female? The way female streamers use their body to get views? Cmon mate. It's a male oriented industry.

"Women don't play real games, only mobile and casual games" - This is true though.

"GOTY's don't exist" - GOTY is a social construct.

"PS4 exclusives should come to the Switch because I don't own a PS4" - Is there really anything wrong with wanting it all on one system instead of having to buy multiple consoles? This ties in really well with the "console gaming isn't cheap" argument. Many games that are on consoles are ones that exist on PC already in some shape or form. Especially these days where cross platform has become a massive trend in the industry.

"Everybody pirates everything, why shouldn't I?" - Well, big guy, why not? Is there really a point in not plundering what you have before you? There isn't a man in the clouds watching you to make sure you're not doing anything bad.

"Dark Souls isn't a JRPG" - Neither is Monster Hunter. Maybe if this triggers people so much, they should just shove these "dodge things so you don't get hit but also make new armor in a linear branching system to get stronger" progression games into their own category. Right now it's more appropriate to associate them with action games. If it were an RPG, numbers would have a massive influence on how well a fight goes. The Souls series favours reaction and movement rather than numbers.

By the way I'm definitely not gonna budge on any of those points, so if you were seeking an answer from someone who is an opposite to you on your opinions, I gave you them. I'm not going to engage in a pissing contest like the one I saw in the Demons Souls thread.

You've never heard anyone say that.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if Nintendo ended all their old IPs and started completely fresh. It would be a big financial risk, but at this point I don't care.

Metroid Prime would be interesting if they switched to third person view with manual aiming and stopped making the controls so tank-like. I also want a new suit. It's too bulky and colorful. She couldn't even fit her body in some of the Prime suits, with how spread apart the limbs are.

I'd play Breath of the Wild if I had a Nintendo, but it doesn't look as appealing to me as the old 3D Zeldas and I'm kind of sick of Link, Zelda, Ganon, the (ugly) Master Sword and Hyrule. I wish they'd explore other places, like Termina. I also think Epona is one of the worst things that ever happened to Zelda. The big open fields aren't that appealing to me.

"Pokemon is evil because the Pokemon are all named after demons from an old, satanic book."

No, I'm not kidding. I've actually seen people (yes, PLURAL) say this. They legitimately think that witches of ages past used to appeal to Squirtle and Jigglypuff as they cast black magic rituals.

My best guess is that whoever started this insane rumor got Pokemon confused with Shin Megami Tensei. They both involve collecting creatures to fight for you, and SMT does draw its "demons" from various sources.

Still, you'd think they'd be able to tell that wasn't the case when they actually saw some of the character names.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

Considering I regularly participate on GameFAQs, I've seen some share of dumb/funny messages but I can't really recall them at the moment.

One that comes to mind though was this one guy I talked to a bit in a thread. If I remember correctly, the thread was people complaining about the lack of standalone release for Modern Warfare Remastered.

I mentioned that you couldn't just buy the game from gamestop and return it after redeeming the code since it required the disc for verification. (At least what I heard anyway)

Dude was like "That's just plain fucking greed from the COD devs right there. Bullshit! They should allow us to buy the game and redeem MWR then return the their shitty game and keep the good one."

I then said "But that'd be a loss on them... they get zero $ and you'd essentially be robbing them" and he just barked back with "It's not robbery because it's COD."

I was like... "What? Robbery is robbery, wtf." Guess it's not robbery because he hates the developers guts with a passion. Logic...

1. Some people who Pirate also like games enough that if they couldn't pirate they may also buy the game, one way is not the definitive answer, yes some won't buy at all, others will.

2. With you on this one.

3. Yes it can get a rise out of people, the same rise can be achieved via watching sport, the effects also wear off very quickly and there is no evidence on long term effect.

4. Trying games for free has gone the way of the dodo, demo disks where the shit. (there is a minor resurgence of this though with free to play weekends and things like that).

5. You can love something and not support their choice, I love my Parents, but I don't always support their stupid decisions :P

6. No Argument.

7. Not even just pirating, you can get a very cheap computer and just play games 5+ years old very cheap and still have access to 20+ years of games.

8. Aggressiveness has been labeled as a male trait, and by your own justification " Being aggressive enough is how you win in the first place ", is it really a surprise that less feminine females get along better in communities revolving around Aggressiveness? Does that make it a boys club? or just more suited to them?

9. Maybe as on average, but one who play "hardcore" still exist and the initial statement is an absolute. Also lol at Polygon.

10. Meh.

11. Exclusives also bread competition which is the mother of innovation, companies paying to have big ambitious games made on just there systems so they can make more money has produced many of the greatest games ever made.

12. Simple, if there is no market, nothing will be made for the market. If everyone in Japan stopped watching anime, and all the west does is pirate it from kissanime or what ever, how long do you think it will take for anime to no longer be made?

13. I love this one, I wouldn't call it a JRPG, I always found that more of a style then location, it is a Action RPG, or ARPG, as it relies purely on action to determine hits, Skyrim is a ARPG, Oblivion/Morrowind/Daggerfall are kinda hybrids as you need to physically hit them but the hit is still determined by a dice roll, Icewind Dale is a full RPG all dice rolls.

14. Having a closed mind is a bad idea, you should always be open to discourse :D

Also just to add more fuel to the fire that is the piracy argument a bunch of people got into:

Piracy is theft, I mean, plain and simple. Some people say: "but if I wasn't going to buy it anyway it doesn't matter."

That's wrong. That's like saying: "I'm going to just take this apple because I wasn't going to buy it anyway, that's not theft, it's just a lost sale."

You might say "but games are a wholly digital, so it's not really theft, I'm just making a copy of it." But you're still stealing, a team of people poured hundreds of hours and funding into that game, and you're taking it without giving them a cent. In essence, you're stealing their time and money, by refusing to pay for their hard work.

I won't try and justify my actions though, and if all streaming/torrent sites got taken down, I wouldn't be crying about it like I felt I was owed something.


I know that feel. I live in Australia, and every time I see an anime I think might be interesting, it's a 50/50 toss up between whether or not I can actually watch it here.

You know, I am fine with piracy is evil. Piracy is indeed bad afterall. But why why stop there? We should jail every game pirate in the planet. We should jail every person that downloads songs from youtube or illegal music sharing sites. We should jail every person that downloads or using an image file without consent. We should jail every educator for taking materials from books as content for their powerpoint presentation slides. We should jail every student who copies said presentation slides and worse, share among their peers. We should even jail anime pirates cause they are wrong for pirating in the first place. Not having a legal anime source is not a valid reason. Pirating is stealing. Stealing is illegal. They should be jailed once determined to be committed to the crime, with no exceptions should be made.

so by your logic every game site ever is wrong? some how i think the game sites genre listing have more authority here


Haven't read the rest of the posts but generally speaking genres are as good as a dictionary, they are not actual things but help talking about games, they are an attempt to enclose a bunch of stuff under and umbrella word and yet, within said genres, people come from all directions asking for different things, so off we go to the realm of sub-stuff/ hybrids/ general fluidity and generic words. A game will feature stealth and action stuff and the generic action word itself may refer to shooters/ beus/platformers and whatever. It's mostly a thing for journos than actual designers, and yes internet cavemen are generally wrong about everything so don't pay mind to people here.
Talking about authority and granting power to games and people is also a mistake and won't make room for discussing any kind of work I think

Some of these were already mentioned, but I'm too lazy to begin quoting at the moment. Nonetheless, here are my highlights:


"30fps is more cinematic" --Ubisoft

"Dark Souls isn't a JRPG"
It's an RPG, and it's Japanese. What more is there to say?

"Nintendo will go bankrupt in less than 5 years"

"Smash isn't a fighting game"

"You can't play on PC with a controller"

Nintendo: "You've seen Mario in 2D and 3D. And now here's Mario in 4D!"
*shows 4-player Mario sidescroller*

"Resident Evil fans are getting too old for games" --Capcom

Someday my brother said that buying single-player games is a stupid thing, cuz you pay 40-60 dollars for only 8-10 of gameplay (he is a pirate for this kind of games). Even if he likes the game, he still thinks that its not worth his money. Meanwhile, he throws away TONS of money in MMORPG and F2P games. Nuff said.

Put a 2 at the end of "Dark Souls" and I agree. Even the DLC couldn't save that titanic disappointment and badly done game.

Oh, I got one!

"Panorama gives you a bigger field of view."

I don't remember how he said it, but that's what he meant. He was speaking about The Order: 1886. No! All they did is pull the camera back and then put big black bars on the top and bottom. They could have pulled the camera back AND shown more on the top and bottom. The things developers do to make pretty games run well on consoles are so pathetic.

Survival Mode is where it's at, since finding things is far more rewarding. I never dared to touch Creative Mode.

"Nintendo cares about their fans." No, they don't. The only thing they care about is the green and deluding themselves (and their fanboys) into thinking that they're still the biggest dog in the yard.

X Box One X isn't great. In fact, Microsoft fucked the entire X Box division themselves. Pay 500 to buy a console to play games you already play on other, better platforms. Exclusives? It's got jack shit.

PC Mastah Race. Just, just the PC Mustah Race. Fuck those self-righteous morons. They're like vegans, except vegans actually do have a point (as minimal a point as it is).

Anything that is said in favor of censorship. What kind of censorship? All of it. Censorship has absolutely zero reason to exist in a modern, civilised society. If you can't parent your children, then wear a fucking condom.

You know, I am fine with piracy is evil. Piracy is indeed bad afterall. But why why stop there? We should jail every game pirate in the planet. We should jail every person that downloads songs from youtube or illegal music sharing sites. We should jail every person that downloads or using an image file without consent. We should jail every educator for taking materials from books as content for their powerpoint presentation slides. We should jail every student who copies said presentation slides and worse, share among their peers. We should even jail anime pirates cause they are wrong for pirating in the first place. Not having a legal anime source is not a valid reason. Pirating is stealing. Stealing is illegal. They should be jailed once determined to be committed to the crime, with no exceptions should be made.


Wow, whoever believes that shit must be mentally challenged. Clearly not all of those are examples of piracy or even theft. That's some weird slippery slope shit right there.

When it comes to piracy people generally only pirate games because they're NEETs and can't actually afford anything. They try to defend their actions the same way they try to defend being a NEET, because they know deep down they're worthless, parasitic human beings, but are afraid to face this truth. I have more contempt for pirates who try to justify their piracy than those who just accept that their morally in the wrong.

OT: "Piracy isn't theft"
"the main reasons ps1 & ps2 sold insane amount of consoles (unbelievable numbers), was purely due to how easy and affordable it was to get a mod-chipped fully functional PS2 without any hassles"

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau
