Re: Nintendo Gives US Government Recommendations on Tackling Piracy Abroad

I truly want to say that piracy is bad, yes, but there is a lot of people in this countries that live out of piracy. I'm from Mexico and I knew a lot of people that sold piracy not because they wanted to nor because it was a good business but because they had to in order to survive. It's also one's fault for counterfeiting products instead of buying them legally. Unless you truly have the good intention of checking out the game before buying it (original hard copy of course) you shouldn't pirate a game.
Also some companies are at fault. They should release more demos and stop region locking their stuff (I'm pointing at you Nintendo). Not only that but video game prices have skyrocketed since the early 2000's.
I'm an animator and I know the effort and cost of games, but companies are getting greedy as well which leads people to look for cheaper products eventually. Companies profit from a game selling at 40 so why get greedy and sell it for 60? Nintendo drops prices drastically once the goal has been reached

to conclude, it's everyone's fault, not only the people's so if they want to stop this problem, they should take the matter into hand first and everyone would follow.

Re: Team Ninja: Wii U Is "Definitely Next Generation"

@Kirk Let's be honest here. If next generation consoles just run around power then we will have to wait even more time for games to be ready for market, and not to mention most companies will lose track of what a game is. It already happen with Konami and Square where they put so much emphasis on graphics and videos that they kinda went stray. Though I love both MGS4 and FFXIII I think they could have done better.

I think if both SONY and Microsoft just boost their CPUs then we can officially say that its gonna be the beginning of the end for the video game industry

Re: Renegade Kid Clarifies 3DS Piracy Comments

I honestly think Dementium II had a bad publicity. I didn't even realized the game existed until like a year after it was released so part to blame is themselves, not piracy. Piracy is a double edge sword, if you know how to use it, it can make you profit

Re: Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition Dogged By Performance Issues

Well the games weren't exactly developed for the Wii U so I can see why this is coming from, but what about games like Ninja Gaiden 3 or Assassins Creed 3? They actually focused on developing the games for the system. Plus knowing Nintendo, the U is probably not even performing at a 100% yet, like the 3DS which the extra power got unlocked with the purchase of Super Mario Land 3D

Re: The Godfather of Video Games Is Baffled By The Wii U

Ok he invented the Atari and its simple minded games. So what? Put him next to Miyamoto and what is he? Its to early to say if it will or will not, I mean, the system sold out faster than hot bread on a Sunday morning, and that is just the hardware, I wonder what will happen when the next Zelda or Smash Brothers come out?
