did you ever buy a game after pirating it /v/?
You'd have to be a serious faggot not to.
>>320697098
yeah i pirated prison architect like five times because they update it every month, so eventually i just bought it
kinda the same deal for terraria
>>320697159
>>320697231
>>320697341
other than updates is there any reason to do so though
That's how I play and buy most of my games nowadays.
I just tend not to install the retail version, unless I removed my pirated copy for whatever reason.
>>320697098
Bet your gay ass I did.
I pirated Doom 3 a looooong time ago, and enjoyed it. Never completed it. I eventually bought it on Steam for $10.
Same thing with Oblivion.
>>320697445
Give them money for making a game I like playing
Yeah, I pirated undertale, beat it, then bought it.
Fallout 3 after finishing a pirated copy.
>>320697098
Yes, but usually because I want access to newer patches or multiplayer.
if i'm enjoying a game halfway through, i immediately quit, uninstall, and then wait for a sale to fully enjoy the experience
FTL because advanced edition
And it was worth it
Tons. Off the top of my head: Mountain Blade, Metro 2033, New Vegas and Witcher 2.
Not really? Most of the time I pirate shit that's either not available officially digitally or just is too old for it to matter if I paid for it or not.
There have been times where I've pirated a game, enjoyed it a bunch, and then bought the next game franchise on launch though.
What if I played it, beat it, and got more than 24 hours worth of gameplay...
But didn't like it.
Do I buy it then?
>boredom
>>320697098
I didn't buy the game per say, mainly because the game was out of print by then. I don't want to put money into those dirty resellers upping everything.
But I do make sure I purchase the newest game in the series whenever it comes out.
I only remember buying Minecraft to try the multiplayer
It wasn't worth it
>>320698339
Kek, same.
Least I had automatic updates I guess.
I pirated DoW, shortly after bought all the discs, then a few years later bought them again from Steam because my computer doesn't have an optical drive.
I've rarely straight up pirated stuff, but I remember downloading Persona 4 and playing that through an emulator then later ordering it since I liked what I played.
Yep. Tons of times. TFL, Fallout NV, Europa Universalis IV, Red Orchestra 2, blah blah blah blah blah.
>>320697098
After I beat Dark Souls. I never cared for the online but still felt like it was worth it.
Yup, I think lots of people do this if they think the game is good.
Most demos show really polished shit.
>>320697098
If I'm curious about a game and it has no demo or the demo doesnt show anything then i'll pirate it; if I like it after giving it a go I buy it.
>>320697098
off the top of my head i can remember i did this for:
New Vegas
Dishonored
Bioshock series
Saints Row 2, 4
KOTOR, 2
Yeah. I did it tons of times. Fairy Bloom Freesia, DMC4, Aces Wild, Terraria, Sonic Generations, Risk of Rain, Sonic and Sega Racing, Mount and Blade Warband, Just Cause 2, and I think Dungeons of Dredmore. There are a few games I'm gonna buy once I get paid, too.
I pirated the first two ace attorney games, then shortly after bought both and every subsequent game day one
What kind of retard buys a game they already played?
terraria
binding of isaac
oblivion
That's it i think
Sometimes when the game is really cheap.
most of the times i don't because i am not retarded
>>320697098
mostly picking up 90's classics, i.e. the games I've pirated in my childhood
Newest games? can't recall any
Sims 4andall the DLC's
yup
definitely not all of them though
maybe like 1 in 3
>>320697098
Shovel Knight, but I fully intended on buying it in the first place.
I bought the South Park rpg.
On the other hand, I can't buy Ass Creed 4 even when it's on sale because I'll lose all my progress.
>>320697098
Nearly all the time. It's not like games are expensive so price is generally a nonfactor but I don't like paying for a game I haven't tried myself.
>>320697098
Too many to count
Blood Dragon, Sega All-Star Racing Transformed, Rayman Legends, Metro LL,DMC, Alien Isolation, Endless Legends...
Demos being dead, it's the only safe way to buy.
>>320697098
Spelunky.
>>320700983
but the free version is perfect
>>320700204
>P-please notice my edge, senpai
>>320697098
game dev tycoon
Yes, VC after beating it.
I even have proof.
>>320697098
Lets see the game I bought after I pirated that came on top of my mind
Starcraft
Warcraft 3
Diablo 2
all of Halflife games
Max plane 1-3
GTA vice city
School Days
Akibas trip
Stalker SoC
Fallout 3/NV
Deus Ex:HR
Witcher 1-2
The Sims 1-2
Crysis 1-2
Splinter Cell:CT-Conviction
Civ 4
Sim city 4
Starwar: Kotor 1-2
Grant most of them probably from sales
>>320701315
Wow, I pirated and bought a third of everything on that listJust wanted to point that out
>>320697098
Yes, all the time.
>>320697445
>easier updates
>easier multiplayer
>achievements
>easier modding?
And most importantly...
>letting businessmen know that they can make an additional sale if the make another game like it.
Buying is basically giving it thumbs up, and increases the chance of getting more.
>>320697098
Skyrim, MGSR
Probably more.
Mount and Blade warband. I mean i know the game has a basically unlimited demo but i wanted to make sure i liked it.
>>320697098Black & White
Bought it for $5.
>>320700328
>buying the sims
>paying homage to the literal satan's child of an EA ceo
wot
Huniepop
Hyperdimension Neptunia Re1, not only bought 1 but 2 and 3 as well
But when it comes to triple A games I don't really care about making a purchase.
>>320697098
Yeah. Skyrim, Dark Souls, Bastion, etc.
I shouldn't have bought Skyrim though, I got bored too soon.
Metro 2033 (also bought Last Light day one)
Witcher 2 (also bought Witcher 3 day one)
Fallouts 3 and New Vegas
Probably some other random indietrash.
>>320702113
IF I SEE THAT DAMN PANCAKE CAT ONE MORE TIME....
>>320702838
In this one the chicken is raw
>>320697098
If it was good absolutely yes, for the right price
>>320702931
Anyone got the original image?
XCOM EW
FTL
Bastion
Hotline Miami
Shadowrun: Dragonfall
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
>>320697098
Of course, games like Oblivion, Skyrim, Crysis, Half-Life collection, Mirror's Edge, Portal, Titan Quest+IT, games that I played a shitload of time. I'll buy Fallout 4 soon.
I bought RDR after renting it...
>>320703005
Nope, sorry
>>320702838
>hating on kot
>>320703369
This is literally the most perfect cat I have ever seen. I want to pet one. What breed is it? Does the breed often get vampire teeth?
>>320697098
>>320703498
You new here or something?
>>320697098
Icewind dale 1 and 2
Fallout 1,2 and Tactics
Syndicate Wars
Destruction Derby
Witcher 1
I bought the soundtrack to one after pirating the game. I actually liked the music more than the game.
>>320697098
Pirates who like to think they aren't cheap deepshits wait for games they like to be at a 80% sales before buying them although they pirated them day one.
Scum of the earth.
>>320703573
>>320697098
Deus Ex Human Revolution
>>320703005
vkDOTcomSLASHsblinami
fuck gook and his filters
>>320703682
That's right. That's why i waited for 90% discount or resort to e-begging for my legit copy. It's better than pirating games, right?
>>320697098
Had every intention to buy Fallout 4 for Christmas. But then I realized the game is shit, and not even modding can save it, unless a team of people re-write the entire story with new VA and everything. So actually, fuck Todd. He can lick it. I'm not paying for his game.
>>320697098
Yes, regularly.
>>320697098
Bought Skyrim after pirating it because the first impression was alright.
One of my biggest buyer's regrets right there. Never even finished it because it turned out to be so shit.
>>320697098
Yes, Axiom Verge.
Mount & Blade Warband
Medieval Total War
GTA Vice City
and thats it.
>>320697098
I pirated The Walking dead and bought it later
I pirated Watch Dogs when it came out. I finished it.
I played a lot of CS:GO at the time, too, and decided to have a crack at opening 5 cases.
The second one contained an average knife, which I soldon the marketfor 87 USD.
I used it to buy the Watch Dogs Deluxe Edition for 75 USD.I fucking wish I was joking
>>320703817
If you haven't pirated it in the meantime then props to you. Nothing wrong in waiting for the game price to drop to meet your budget and expectations.
Yes. When I really like a game I tend to buy it even if I pirated it.
I bought Xenoblade Chronicles even if I don't have a wii and I emulated it on PC. I would like to buy The Talos Principle boxed but they will never release a retail version for PC
>>320703950
What the fuck.
>>320697098
The real question is did you ever buy a game FOR FULL PRICE NOT ON DISCOUNT YOU FUCKING KIKE PIECE OF SHIT after pirating it?
The day after sniper elite 3 came out I pirated it played the first mission then bought it the same day, I honestly don't regret it at all it was really fun.
>>320704027
Waiting is no big deal for me. I'm a fucking burger flipper and most of the days, I'm too tired to even vidya when i got back home from work.
>>320703950
Wut
>>320704068
Of course not.
>>320704067
>>320704156
I don't even have an excuse. Retardation and impulse purchasing, I guess.
Also the email confirmation of the knife sale, for validity, received on the same date as the "Purchased on" date in the first picture.
Just digging this shit up makes me sad.
>>320697098
Assassin's creed black flag. So far the only game I pirated that I also picked up.
It's really good
Magica
Ariadne
Arms Devicer+
Parallel Fantasy
Parallel Fantasy Zero
Lily Knight Saga
Soul of Knights
Nadekko Dungeon Chronicles
Virgin Island
Mysic Mine
Lilitales
BARRAGE!!
Plus a bunch of other ones. If it makes me stop to JO more than 8 times during the playthrough I'll go buy it. You always have to pirate these because there's a lot of shit titles that are priced 10$ and then doesn't contain shit all. If it's good I'll buy it to support the author so they can make more.
I haven't bought a game in 10 years.
Not because I can't afford them, but because I just don't give a fuck when I can get it for free.
>>320697098
All of my most played games I pirated first and then bought.
>>320697098
Only game I bought that I haven't pirated prior is KSP.
>>320697098
Yes I did. Pirating is a demo these days.
Yes. I only pirate games that don't have demos. If it's shit I delete it, and don't buy it. If it's good I delete it and buy it.
I am fucking terrible at making smart decisions, I bought too many games on steam that I ended up hating and couldn't get my money back, back then
now I pirate almost everything to avoid wasting money
there's a few games that I genuinely enjoyed but when I add all their price together, being a cheap asshole, I'm like "fuck this is too expensive"
I suck, here's a list of games that I should buy to support the devs:
>Wolfenstein - The New Order
>Anodyne
>Resident Evil HD remaster
>The Evil Within (meh)
>Oceanhorn
>Axiom Verge
<pic is all the games I regret buying (yes, I'm stupid)
The whole point of piracy is to not pay money for things, so obviously no.
>>320706121
Damn anon your taste must be fucking shit. There are so many good games in that list.
>>320706597
right, that's what I get for basing myself on public opinions
not any more, need to try it myself, regardless of if people say it's great or shit
No but I HAVE pirated a game after BUYING it.
I pre-ordered Spore digitally but you had to use EA's own download client which was fucking garbage and also slow because everyone else was using it. I was frustrated that it was taking so long so I took to pirate bay instead, which gave me the game faster.
Now if only I'd known that the original DL speed was God trying to tell me not to play that piece of godawful shit.
>>320697098
Stick of Truth earned it.On sale.
>>320706121
You bought L4D, didn't like it, thne bought L4D2? Huh???
>>320697098
No why the fuck would I do that?
>>320697098
I bought EU3 after pirating it. Bought the complete version.It wasn't complete
>>320707054
it was a package
>>320697098
Yes but I'm embarrassed to say which onemodern warfare 2
>>320697098
Yes.I'm still ashamed that I never bought Machinarium though :(
>>320697098
yes, but, shamefully, that happens with sales only.
Not the richest motherfucker on earth to afford paying a full price
I buy most games after pirating. Not out of any faggy bullshit like supporting da indoostry as if that has any significance, but because I want online features, automatic updates, or workshop stuff, or because it's just nicer to have a legit copy.
I buy the console versions and pirate the PC ports.
>>320697098
Yea several, after they went from 60€ to <5€.
>>320701163
>tfw originally bought it
>couldnt remember which email i used on their site to buy it
>Hey your steam key is in your email! :^)
>Tried to figure out which email i had via support but they could not help me
Literally the only game I haveve pirated after i bought it
Killing Floor
Postal 2
C&C Generals
Rune
Borderlands
oh and Counterstrike 1.6, but I think most people have played a pirated LAN version before actually buying the steam version.
Sleeping Dogs
Alan Wake
Mafia I and II
Bioshock
Arkham Asylum
>>320697098
Dying Light comes to mind since it was recent, there have been some others (most likely smaller) games.
I just had a blast playing it and though fuck, they deserve my money.
>>320706121
>all this literally who games
who buys this shit
>>320697098
Yes, but not all.
I only pay for what i think it worth it.
Metal Gear Rising
Deus Ex: HR
Bastion
>>320706121
>Das
>Deadly Premonition
>E.Y.E.
Nignog what you on, also
>Viscera cleanup detail: shadow warrior
it came free with shadow warrior whit
Literally all of them i could think of except extremely old games that require emulators.
Missing dark souls 2 but i'm still finishing it and i have a plan to buy in the winter sale
>>320710041
I would've uninstalled DaS after 10 minutes if I didn't have a gampad.
Ended up playing it for 400 hours.
did you ever pirate a game after buying it vee?
Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light
Ghost Trick
Order of Ecclesia
Yes. Fallout series. TES series. STALKER series
>>320697098
Yes I always buy if I enjoy the game and feel like it.
Several.
Undertale, Atom Zombie Smasher, Vampire Bloodlines, Starcraft
I have, can't remember which ones though.
Most recent game was LISA
>>320697098
Most of the time I pirate a game on release and if I liked it, I buy it at half price later.
I live in a second world country so there's no way I'm paying $60 for vidya.
>>320710257
I'm so poor that I forced myself to play DaS on Keyboard
>>320697098
Yes, I do it all the time. The last one was Divinity: Original Sin a week ago.
>>320697098
Damm straight, unless Im seriously strapped for cash, ill pay em eventually.
Only Boktai and the first GBA Fire Emblem(7?)
I stopped pirating games when I got out of my teens. Not for any moral reason or anything. I just don't feel like playing most games and the games I do want to play I end up buying because I want to support the dev in hopes that we actually see the sequels in the west.
Speaking of Boktai, I ended up running all around town looking for a cart. Places kept saying they had it then it turns out they didn't.
No regrets though; One of the best GBA games.
>>320697098
Yes.
>>320710257
>>320710615
>forced
>people still on the keyboard controls are hard meme
Fighting is perfectly fine, the menus are just counter intuitive but once you learn what end and ins does you're golden.
t.- had to play on kb+m on a laptop at 720p and 23fps
