Qj.net got a tip from one of their friends in Southeast Asia that gave them an idea of how the darker side of the console war is being waged there. It currently looks to be a square-off between the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Xbox 360 in the pirate market.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
but also it will give the 360 the advantage in terms of hardware, since it has been hacked or whatever, gamers will want to get that to play their pirated games.
"Blu-ray is giving our suppliers trouble, so you might have to wait until next year."
Even when it does eventually get cracked its going to cost much more for these smaller operations to print pirated BR disc. Piracy will be a much smaller problem on BR. Most likely they will chip the PS3 and try to burn games onto DVD but obviously only when they fit, which will be hardly ever. This is good news and further vindication for the use of BluRay.
........and i have never bought a legitimate game for any of them.
Converted to US Dollars my 360 games cost $3, Wii games cost $2.50 and my PS" games cost $1. As for my DS, well i download my games and use RF.
definitely help Wii sales here in Thailand, but the Xbox 360 still has a very bad reputation here. Xbox 360 games have been pirated since February of 2006. And the Wii was pirated about a week after it came out. I have both a Wii and a PS3 here. My PS3 games cost about $70 US, because they are imported. Copies of Wii games cost less than $2 US. I only have 3 games for my PS3, mostly because their are only 3 good games. But, I am more willing to buy games for my Wii since they cost next to nothing.
