The law is to blame here for this problem. Piracy can be beaten with a harsher view, Imagine you got ten years in jail if you got caught with pirated goods. That would solve the problem very well indeed.JOEPEACH
Interesting reasoning. We should similarly solve thievery by lopping off the right hand of any thief caught. We should deal with illegal parking by confiscating and selling the car. And let's stop burglary once and for all by giving such criminals life in prison. Most civilized societies have legal systems that dole out punishment that is proportionate to the crime committed. The day we start punishing petty video game piracy with 10-year sentences is the day we move closer to a police state.
I think Unreal tournament 3 is somewhat underappriciated.

The campaign for that had next to no point. It was just going around killing soldiers, capturing flags, and linking up nodes. Hearing "Kill Streak" and "Ultra Kill" every minute made it seem that the game wasn't very mature either. And for being a multiplayer game, it is quite bad community wise, for being so small. Yes, UT3 was underwhelming. Its levels were awe-inspiring at times in terms of graphical design. Other than that, the game didn't hold much appeal for me.
Are there emulators for PS2 and PS3 these days? I am so out of the loop when it comes to consoles in the past 5-10 years (the original PS was my final console before I became a PC zealot). Yes, I played SF on Sega. The game didn't do it for me. I found the battles to be exceedingly easy. I also didn't like how characters were already placed within a class; one of the greatest features of FFT was its party-building. You could mold a fresh recruit from a simple squire or chemist into any class in the game. It permitted maximum flexibility and customization to suit the player's style. King's Bounty was an interesting game. I just played it for the first time about 2 weeks ago. For its time, I bet it was groundbreaking. Playing it in 2009, I found it too shallow. I squeezed about 15 hours out of it before its simplified combat system wore out its welcome. Or is KB: The Legend a different game from the original KB on the Genesis? I'll certainly check out Silent Storm and Fantasy Wars.
I put "computer" in brackets because emulators now permit many console games to be played on a computer. That said, please recommend both console and PC games. I loved FFT. The game was not perfect; no game is. Still, its systems stunned me into happiness, and I'd love to hear what else is out there that even remotely resembles its style. The only two games that I know of that come close to FFT are both on the original PS: 1. Battle Ogre Tactics and 2. Vandal Hearts. Both are pretty solid games, but I've played them enough already. I need fresh blood! So enlighten me, please. ;p
I really want to play Deus Ex and Far Cry 2 now! Are they Vista-compatible? Also, that Stronghold game by SIS looks very interesting. Has anyone run it successfully on DOSBox? I played MOH:AA. Solid game. A bit short, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.
So, yeah, I'm sure we've all played that one game that addicted us from the get-go. Trouble is, it seems as if you're the only one who enjoys the game. You don't understand why reviewers bombed the game. Or, worse yet, you don't understand why the game didn't become hugely popular after receiving stellar reviews. So which games have you played that seem to fit this story? Myth: The Fallen Lords I think this was a revolutionary game that failed to spark a revolution, and I've never understood why. Perhaps the poor graphics. Perhaps the sometimes frustrating teamkills that occurred. And yet other companies never picked up the ball to carry it forward. The pure strategy and tactics of the game allowed players to ignore economic constraints and concerns to focus on manipulating the terrain and weather conditions. No buildings, no resource gathering, no unit production. Just unadulterated combat requiring subtle strategy and decisive tactics. The game never really caught on, and as far as I know, it remains in its own category as a pure fantasy real-time strategy game. Others?
