I have a real fucking problem with modern games. I can't buy them because they are all download-only or require online activation, and I hate that shit. I think it invalidates the whole point of ownership (and if you think it's just buying a "license" that makes it worse, not better). I refuse to do it. I would like to support devs and play some shit, but other than CD Projekt, I don't even know companies that do real physical releases with no online strings attached anymore. If they exist, they're hidden among the mass of "requires Steamworks installed" and "requires online activation".

I'm getting by with piracy of course, but what the fuck do I do? I can't buy games because assholes no longer want to sell them properly.

No. The problem with modern games is that they are increasingly oversexualizing every fucking character in the game rather than concentrating on the gameplay itself in order to sell games to weebs and other degenerates.

Oh, wait. That's Jap devs.

>>285633127
They sexualize them, and yet they hardly make really good looking ones with good detail. just typical "am i kawaii uguu" trash

Are you saying a game without good gameplay would actually be better without sexualization? That's not how it works tumblrina.

A game is always improved by being sexy. There is almost zero reason to have ugly characters except for comedic relief or something.

That's not what he said you mong. He didn't argue for a point one way or the other. He's just reiterating that sexualizing things improve a shitty product, and that people recognize that. So making shit "realistically ugly" is fucking stupid when your product is garbage to begin with.

>>285634140
Re-read the post I was responding to. He called modern dev's females "mutants" and then posted his weeby anime-face as if THAT isn't a mutant. The implication being that a facial structure which is NON-EXISTANT is LESS like a "mutant" when in reality if anyone had those facial proportions that's literally what they'd be.
You're reading something into my post I didn't say. I'm not saying you can't have stylised games, go nuts idgaf. But if you're deluding yourself into thinking that model is more indicative of an archetypal human being than so-called "manface" women in videogames, you ARE disconnected with reality. Just come out and say "the problem with modern games is they don't appeal to my weebish sensibilities." Be honest about it.

Explanation: A download-only game is literally worth zero dollars ($0.00). If you want your game to be worth something, put it on a disk. Preferably with a nice artbook or something.

My problem exactly.

It used to be, in the golden age of CD keys, that every game was fully playable out of the box, and in those days I did buy a shitload of games. Nobody is selling games like that anymore though, and I do not want to pay money for what I perceive to be incomplete games (games that require online anything or don't have a physical release).

>>285637441
No. I already told you I don't give a fuck. I like anime.
But saying more realistic looking women are the "mutants" and your unrealistic looking anime characters aren't is grade-A weeaboo self-delusion.
Fucking weebs always take any criticism as an attack on their weeb lifestyle. Chill out fag no-one's taking away your mangos.
>>
>>285637898

The 60 dollars is payment for said hard work. I want the disk though. And the disk has to work offline. Without that, I don't experience ownership of the game, and don't experience value for my money.

Yeah its a problem especially when companies don't fucking label that their games need 3rd party software to work.
Also it shouldn't even be a thing that its easier to play a pirate version of a game than the bought copy. Customers shouldn't be punished and treated like criminals. Its incredibly pointless.

Not sure what your issue is with download-only.

If it has no activation, you're better off with that than almost anything (like the old copy-protected discs or whatever). Those really have less string attached than anything.

Put it on on one or many discs and just be happy?

Because it makes sense to make millions of plastic cases and Blu rays just to install it on the hard disk anyway right?

That does not make games unplayable at all.

A downloaded file can be installed or even run right after a download.

Seriously, where is the problem when there is no DRM that interferes with your ability to copy, transfer, sell your license...?

I can link you a pretty nice game (open sauce OpenTTD in this case) right here: http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable

And it's just not a real problem to deal with this.

At first glance she might seem like your japanese animes but closer inspection reveals the mutant features of the anime style.

Here i've focused on the eyes. They appear much further down the head of the anime girl and take up much more of the face. If you resize the eyes of the real girl so that they take up the same vertical space at the same position as the anime girl you get a frog mutant.

Conclusion: anime not real.

Lying again. You know people like you are typically laughed out of technical support forums?
Your asinine "i've never had a problem" comments don't assist anyone and are not constructive because everyone encounters bugs.
To top it off you default to the tired argument of "YOU CHEATER DON'T CHEAT CHEATING IS BAD"

i think you legitimately have mental problems you need to see a mind doctor you sound like one of the people on SL that gets pissy when you suggest an issue they are having might be their fault they act just like you getting defensive and angry for no reason i recognize that others might have had problem and that they might be unrelated to cheating but i am speaking from my personal experience here

It should be done the other way around. Learn 3d modelling to a high skill level first then sit the quals so you can blitz them leisurely.
I see so many nerds approach things like 3d modelling and go under because they have no skill at it first off.

Visit last gen consoles, plenty of single player games to collect. Funnily enough PS3 has better sp exclusives, and they're like $10. Start with MGS Legacy and Infamous collection.

GoW saga and Jak + Dax hd collection are my recommendations.

Welcome to the double edged sword, if piracy wasn't a problem or a possibility what purpose would they have for online verification?

Maybe not good enough for playing games that need dedicated connections but fuck Tesla is going to blanket the earth in free internet soon enough so there is literally no reason to bitch about this.

How does verifying actual consumers stop pirates. It just inconveniences the consumer.

Its not needed its draconian and its bad for consumers.

Simple solution: sell physical games with serial codes. Oh wait they used to do this.

Anon, games have been doing online activation on consoles for more than a decade now. For PC, much longer than that.
As for download only, deal with it. You have never owned software in your life. You have only owned licenses for the use of it.
As for piracy, it's your choice. Lots of devs deserve your money, especially companies like CDP. I can't force you to buy them, but there are lots of devs that don't deserve your money. Especially the AAA industry, doubly so for box titles and consoles.

I argue that download only has given us more convenience. Now I have discarded all my ugly game boxes and filled my library shelves with books. I've started reading more because of it as well. My life is much less cluttered with my installed games on a hard drive and a list to download from Steam as I want them. To top it off, I don't look like a loser virgin manbaby. Like a gen-you-eyne high flyin, limousine ridin adult. Woo for that, and woo for digital downloads.

Also downloading and online distribution has strengthened consumer rights groups. With the title II passing through the FCC and so many politicians willing to commit career suicide, America can finally get the fuck out of it's shitty deal with the big telecom. Digital distribution has been at the forefront of reasons for this to succeed.

Not true back when physical copies were widely used you owned the physical copy and the software on it as a consumer.
Digital content is logical not held to the same standards as physical copies of software.
This is how platforms like Steam get away with their "no refunds" crap for years even violating laws and their own rules on it.
>>
>>285649795
This is a redundant statement. The consumer doesn't own Doom. ID owns doom. You own the copy of Doom you bought though.
With digital content you don't own anything and your "right" to use the software can be taken away when ever the company feels like it.

You have never owned software. You have only ever had a limited use license to use the software in ways defined by the creator.
>>285650075
>>285650206
The same applies with your physical copies. You only ever saw it happen with online titles. Counter Strike was mostly online and if your CD-key got banned from the master server, your box copy let you play the tutorial level and that was it.
Same went for Starcraft and other popular online multiplayer titles. You would only have access to the single player game until you got a new CD-Key if you got banned.
Now your claims of having your license to play a game being revoked for no reason is just unfounded alarmism. If a dev started doing that for no reason at all, they'd get blown the fuck out by /v/.
We haven't blown any devs the fuck out yet.
So don't be a shitty faggot and get banned from multiplayer.
Fag.
>>
>>285651590
It doesn't you are mistaken.
>Counter Strike was mostly online and if your CD-key got banned from the master server, your box copy let you play the tutorial level and that was it.
This is a completely different issue.
>>
>>285651590

This is incorrect. If you are going to continually appeal to the fact you don't the software as in you are not the creator of it. You are an idiot.
>>
>>285651590
>So don't be a shitty faggot and get banned from multiplayer.
>Fag.
Wow so reading through your entire post you just reveal you are the same underage autistic troll that has been spamming "don't cheat and get banned in multiplayer"
As if this is the ONLY thing that matters with online distribution.
What about single players games you retard?
>>
>>285652270
No, it's the same issue. You're worried about a dev taking away your ability to play a game. A CD-Key ban did the same thing. Devs only ever revoke a CD-Key for the purpose of a multiplayer ban, in our current sphere.
If a dev were to just take away a CD-Key from a lawfully purchasing customer (read: not from shitty third world key resellers) with no identifiable purchase, their assholes would be fucked so thoroughly that a whole new SVU gamer episode would be made.

>>285652979
Not even trolling. You are being a misinforming alarmist. You are arguing with the same strategies that /pol/ uses. You have never owned software, no one would ever be banned after purchasing a title for no reason, and if it happens, the internet will fuck that person hard, then the law will get sloppy seconds.
You are a fag.
>>
>>>>285653293
you own the license wich you can also resell. Effectively you owned a copy of the software on some disc + the license to use it.

Today you have a license but the software is behind online drm. If the server dies you're shit out of luck.

Lastly there is software you fully own - it's the open source kind.

Reselling is the only real difference. If more online distributors allowed for the reselling of licenses, that would be a thing. However, reselling was always seen as a bane of software developers of all kinds. So you will not see that return in an online format.
As for the servers dying, you have electronic receipts for every purchase in your email. If the servers go down, pirate it. Or contact the game dev and ask for an alternate way to install. If a service like Steam goes down, and if Gabe doesn't make good on his promises for contingency, any reasonable dev will provide you with alternate ways to get their game. No country would ever pursue charges of piracy for a legitimate customer. Heck, most countries let you use pirate services to create backups of software you own.
Open source software is also a whole different ballpark and you know that's moving the goalposts. We're talking about proprietary software, like what most of the industry uses.
