I would hope you wouldn't pay for a free game, via adultswim.com Your paying for the option of making it portable, and that's about it. I gave an example of how I enjoyed a free game which I wouldn't have paid for despite enjoying it, as a counter argument for your restaurant example. I'll just stick to comparing video games to cars. Gets the point across better...

I'm not sure if you're posting that as a serious answer or if you've got the grid refrence wrong cos Yante got that one just before you as It was a joke.

Instead of using a restaurant when talking about video games, I'll just give you a gaming example: I played Robot Unicorn for a few hours. It was fun. It was also free. Would I have paid for the game were it a 5 euro title? No. Not because I think it's terrible, but because I don't think it's worth 5 euro. Had I paid for it, played it for an hour or so, I am positive I would have regretted spending money on it.

Might as well keep this out of the Crappy ports thread. And I think it warrants discussion. Personally, I always thought Killer Instinct was boring as hell. It had all the boring parts of MK and Street Fighter with extremely toned down violence. Then again, I never liked the SNES version of SF2, so maybe I don't have much say. Was always a fan of MK2 and (U)MK3 ORIGINAL POST: An MK without blood is like Killer Instinct and we all know how crappy that game was. Genesis ftw.

First pic: I'll try the second one later.

That's what you would do, but I don't imagine everyone who pirates to demo a game is going to stick to that criteria. After all, you already are in possession of the game, what's stopping anyone from keeping it for free? Like, what if the game isn't as good as someone thought, but they kept playing it to finished it. That's where morality comes into play. You may get rid of the game yourself, but someone who is constantly coming up with excuses to play a game for free could easily brush it off and keep playing. Heck, where do you stop in your demoing of a game? I'm not trying to point fingers or belittle anyone, but the point of the letter is to create action. We could carry on with pirating to demo a game, but you have to admit its an unorthodox method that could be thrown out if developers would simply offer a real demo. I don't believe morality ever comes into play here. Copyright infringement is not theft, it is a law. Breaking laws doesn't mean you're breaking any universal moral codes. Yea, that was my only issue as well.

I only saw them on Kotaku, don't think I ever had a conversation with them.

That shit better go through a lot of CGI, yo.

Hey, I know you! You comment on Kotaku! And not random bull either! Always wanted to meet ye and Master Dex.

Resident Evil 1-4. RE5 was the first normal port, but it was also a crappy game.

I'm fine with difficult platformers, it's just SMB seemed difficult for all the wrong reasons. I found that the titular Meat Boy controlled awfully. Ah, no idea how he plays on an Xbox gamepad. Can't speak for the demo because I have no idea what it's like, but the thing with the difficulty is that the game pretty much prepares you for the most difficult levels on your first playthrough. It's not really cheap difficulty, it's more of a "Here's the level. Go get 'em champ!" and you're all "You're kidding..." Of course it's not everyone's thing, but I've found that a lot of recent demos show very little of how the game really is. Just ask Dean about his ordeal with Just Cause 2.

"Obtain" the full version of Super Meat Boy for the PC, test it thoroughly, then reconsider buying it for the Xbox. It's a really good platformer if you're into old school platformers.

Ethan, if it's the Xbox version like you linked, we could play it online? It's the only version for the PC, but it has cross-platform support with the Xbox version.

Haha you actually did it

Sometimes a lot of work goes into the remakes and it's worth rebuying them. AFAIK, the MK HD collection features completely new sprites because they redid the model capturing instead of just upscaling everything.

Nah, I'm cool with Kratos. But dude is nothing out of the ordinary in MK. He kills divinities, everyone else kills divinities. He's brutal, everyone else is brutal. He was just the only one of his kind in his game, so everyone was, of course "HOLY SHIT DUDE YOU FUCKING MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD". If you put him in MK, I'm guessing the rest of the cast would be "Oh, look, a Spartan with a brick in his jaw. Might as well do something before dinner." Seriously, if he was originally an MK character I would have put him on my scrappy list with the likes of Kenshi and Fujin.

The only fighters Kratos could beat up are Stryker and Johnny Cage.

Aren't Spartans like super badass in hand to hand as well? And speaking of Spartans, I don't think even Kratos could hold his own against the MK cast. It took him what? 3 games to kill off the Olympian pantheon? The MK kast kills off deities on a weekly basis.

I don't trust Gearbox, to be honest, but I am gonna play it day one. I just feel it is my obligation as a gamer, but I have my expectations very very very low.

Master Chief? He'd fit ok with Cyrax and Sektor as the "Green robot who is not a robot".

One of the games I'm looking forward to the most. Thankfully, all my PS3 buddies are getting it, so I'll have a chance to play it as well. Don't care if the game has less balance than SNK vs Capcom.
