So hold on a minute. I'm not entirely following. Are people suggesting that making a copy of a game, one that they have no right to possess, isn't as bad as stealing one from the shop?
There is a headset available for the 3DS, I do believe. It's third party, but officially licensed. However, I suspect you'd just use the microphone built into the console. Would be going to waste otherwise.
I've had this most notably with Urban Champion. While i've seen it in Resident Evil, it has been a rare occurrence. I do find that tired eyes seem to create the same effect too.
[QUOTE="rawsavon"]*stepping away from the physical versus non physical product debate for a moment* The above is one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen in a debate like this (and that is saying something). Just b/c something is not offered does not mean it can't be 'stolen'. If an art collector does not offer to sell his paintings to the world does not mean his collection can't be stolen. The same is true of a business. They can be as exclusive or inclusive as they want to...does nothing to change what you call the crime. The only issue here is dealing with a physical versus non physical 'product' and what you call the 'crime'...not if it was offered or not offered to a particular consumer baseHaziqonfire
Terminology is important.
No one is 'stealing' Xenoblade by downloading it illegally. They're making copies of it. It's still genuine considering it hasn't been altered or modded in any way -- and the original copy is still in tact.
It's not really a dumb comment ... it's just terminology. It becomes a different issue when you're dealing with digitized content versus physical. I can steal a copy of Xenoblade from a GameStop and it's not in their possession anymore. I can't say the same if I download a copy of Xenoblade, it's still available to anyone else.
When you make a copy of something, it's still theft. You're taking something that you have no right to own. It wasn't sold to you and it wasn't given to you by those who own it. Therefore you're taking/copying it against their will, which is stealing.
8 hours isn't short for a platformer. They're usually a good genre for re-playability. I had Super Mario 3D Land beat in 11 hours with Mario, and that's one of the larger Mario games in the series in terms of content. I got 8 1/2 hours out of Cave Story 3D, but it has 3 different endings and my ending didn't seem to be the most desirable outcome. Compare that to the classic Sonic games. I can beat both Sonic 1 & 2, together, in about 2 hours. 8 hours for a 3DSWare title is not half bad.
