Yea, I'm certain you would pay for games if they were good. Lmao.
Rustles the fuk outta my jimmies when people try to justify their pirating. Just admit it, you're too cheap and/or don't have enough money to pay.
And you're the type of person that is first to cry when companies take extra measures to prevent piracy, limiting your experience. So then you use it as an excuse to pirate more, and they make even shittier games with an even more limited experience to prevent piracy. Etc. etc. etc.

You're all saying it's creepy, but I'm showing people how easy it could be to track someone down. And it wasn't just for a random stream, it was for people playing Watch_Dogs. They're just getting a full immersed experience.used44 said:
So all I've taken away from this thread is that Ugh is now a professional doxxer.

I had to search what a doxxxer was and no, just no.
I'll agree with you madster in regards to the pricing of games in Australia. It sucks and a lot of the time, yeah, we're getting totally ripped off. Despite this, I don't pirate any of my games, which is why I'm so stubborn when it comes to buying games.
This is gonna sound really dumb but when it comes to buying games, unless I know I absolutely want it (for example, I am totally gonna buy Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3Ds no matter what), I usually look very closely at reviews. I look at GameRevolution for text-based reviews, I look at GameTrailers.com for video reviews, I look at game's Wikipedia article and check the general reception and finally I read Australian gaming magazine HYPER for another review. I really try to do some research with reviewers I trust before I buy a game because they're usually quite expensive, as you know.
Of course, sometimes I'll disagree completely with what a reviewer says and buy a game regardless and funnily enough, still enjoy it. Good example is ZombiU for the Wii U. While a lot of reviewers didn't like it (with the exception of GameRevolution), I loved it.
One good thing about EB Games though, is the seven day return policy which I've abused in the past. I bought Aliens: Colonial Marines for PS3 on a whim when it first came out, and I was very suspicious of the game because when I looked online there were absolutely no reviews available because Australia got it early. Played it, it was so shit beyond belief, I took it back the next day and got all my money back, despite EB trying to convince me to put it on a pre-order or something instead.

You mean like Kerbal Space Program, or Minecraft, or Automation, or FTL, or Spacebase DF-9, or Rust or Master of Orion 2 or Civ4?intoTheRain said:
All of which i've got sitting on my laptop right now and paid for?
You don't know a fucking thing, mate.
Problem with that is games that are shit and yet manage to get good reviews.Master_Craig said:
Much like Watch Dogs, which GR officially gave 4.5 stars. You know, the same as Bioshock Infinite or Mass Effect 3.
I am yet to find a site or specific reviewer i can truly trust. Best i can do is watch gameplay online, but that doesn't tell me if the controls are shit like Crackdown 2.
If only EBs weren't so damn expensive, and took PC returns.
That's fair enough, madster. I guess that's why I look at multiple sources for reviews, as well as the general reception of Wikipedia. Not all reviewers give games the same scores but yes, some games it does happen - such as Bioshock: Infinite, which funnily enough I have yet to play.
Sure, GameRevolution gave Watch Dogs a 4.5 as written by Nick, but with Daniel's review for Playstation Lifestyle, his take on Watch Dogs wasn't so generous. Reviewers can vary.
Also, I loved Mass Effect 3 (the Extended Cut) but you already know my fanboyism for the Mass Effect series.
I remember once upon a time EB Games used to return PC games but it's fair enough that they don't any more due to disc keys having limited use as well as online DRM like Steam, EA Origin, Ubisoft's Uplay etc.
This will sound annoying but here's something you can try if you haven't already - JB Hi-Fi usually sells games cheaper than EB Games. Sometimes the price difference is awesome, sometimes it's not so much. Regardless, make your EB Games price match cheaper shops. That way you not only get the game for a better price but also you can return it within seven days... of course, as we've discussed already this doesn't include PC games unfortunately.
Buying games online can be a cheaper alternative too, as you're aware. Wolfenstein: New Order for PS4 is $99 at EB Games and $89.95 at JB Hi-Fi, my brother asked me to buy the game because he saw it for sale at CatchoftheDay.com.au for $60 including free delivery. So we got it, and delivery time was pretty quick too, a few business days.

Yeah, it's almost like everyone has different opinions on stuff and won't agree on every single thing. What a ridiculous concept.madster111 said:

"The Picton Castle is a fully certified and registered Cook Islands tall ship whose mission is deep-ocean sail training and long distance education. Picton Castle is perhaps best known for her World Circumnavigations, though she has visited the Great Lakes twice, sailed numerous times on tours on the East Coast of the Americas, completed a Caribbean Voyage and in 2008 sailed to Europe, Africa and the Caribbean on a Voyage of the Atlantic. In 2012 she sailed for the South Pacific. The Picton Castle's unofficial home port in Canada is Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, but she is formally registered in the Cook Islands and subject to that country's regulatory regime."
