[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"][QUOTE="topgunmv"]

It's better with the complete mod, and I noticed the performance to be about the same.

You should play the games in order of release though. SoC>CS>CoP.

Some people say play CoP second, but I wouldn't recommend it. CS is the prequel to SoC, so if names and locations aren't fresh in your memory, plot points lose most of their relevance.

CS has nothing to add to the overall story though. There is nothing in CS that you need to know to play CoP.

I already said why you should play cs second in what you quoted.

hm, it appears that I missed the context of your post. My apologies.

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"]Nope. That was most likely the problem the first time around, but this time is due to the rights of the STALKER brand. R4gn4r0k

If that's the case they should continue working on it but give it a different name. Would be a shame if all the work they already did would go to waste.

Like howTrue Crime: Hong Kong was canceled but later got picked up bySquare Enix. They lost the True Crime name so they just renamed it 'Sleeping Dogs' but its basically the same game they continued to work on.

IP rights cover much more than the name. They can't simply rename it, they would have to take out key features that made STALKER what it is.

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"]Blocking used games will be good for two reasons. 1. Developers will make more money to make better games (assuming of course) 2. It will bring down Gamestop's evil empire of buying used games for very cheap and then selling them for only $5 less than new. They make a ton of profits off people who are too cheap to pay $5 more to actually support the developer. Although technically, they are just cashing in on the stupidity of the average consumer. Shinobi120

LOL, no, it won't.

1.) The money goes to Gamestop regardless of what condition you buy the game in. Devs get paid by the Publisher, Publisher gets paid when they sell the games (among other things) to the Retailers, the Retailers get paid when we buy the game from them.

In either case, the publishers are all in bed with the retailers anyway: Retailer sells used game, retailer uses money from used game sales to pay for exclusive pre-order DLC bonus. The Publisher gets the money regardless.

2.) Do you realize that by having used games banned, that they'll be coming up with more restrictions (even more worse than On-disc DLC & Online passes), as well as never lowering prices of their games even when they're years old, due to no competition from the used game market? You need to think about that.

1. You have it all wrong.The money does go to gamestop if you buy it new, that's true, but they will no longer be able to buy back your games for next to nothing to sell than $5 cheaper than retail price. Not to mention they can't keep selling used games they got for cheap anymore, they would have to buy new ones from the publisher. Their huge money maker will be gone. Also, no, the devs don't get the money back from used game sales. The devs make a percentage of the sales too, not just the publisher. If people aren't buying their games new, there is no reason for places like gamestop to buy more copies, therefore the publisher and the devs suffer.

2. Now you're just making up stuff, claiming BS things without any facts to back it up. There is no such thing as competition from the used game market, whatever the developers price their games at, used copies will ALWAYS be lower. There is no competition to be had.

Must agree with this. People should really support the Publisher and not Gamestop. The more money Publishers make, the bigger the budgets on games will be.

Bigger budgets does not equal better game. In fact, I rather have budgets decrease. All these high budget games are causing the smaller than super large developers to go out of business. In addition, with higher budgets comes less risk with new ideas. F- super high budget games.

Which is why I wrote (assuming of course) In theory it could go either way. We will never know unless it happens.

Seeing as stalker 2 was going to be on consoles it can be argued that drove them out of business..

Nohtnym

Nope. That was most likely the problem the first time around, but this time is due to the rights of the STALKER brand.

Then who owns the rights now should try to sell it to valve.

I hope to god that doesn't happen. 99% chance it won't though.

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"]Capcom seems to be less and less interested in MegaMan games. Hell, they still have yet to end off the MegaMan X series. They've gone an entire generation without a new MMX game. norm41x

Not entirely true. The MMX series lives through the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX Series. the 3 series share the same timeline and world as X. Zero wakes up in a few thousand years in MMZ and fights until.. (almost gave you a spoiler). After another few thousand years (I think) X and Zero no longer have physical bodies but their brains or chips, whatever is built into a bio-metal which helps anybody using it receive abilities of the 2. Zero and X are still alive in ZX but since they don't have bodies, they need a human or host to use them. But I haven't beaten the ZX series yet so I could be wrong lol.

On topic: Screw you Capcom. I won't be buying diddly squat.

I'm well aware of that. I'm talking strictly from a MMX standpoint though. MMX8 ended with cliffhanger as one of the endings if I remember correctly.

The question, why is the founder of GSC prohibiting his own team from making the game? Or was he not a part of GSC anymore?

Lame. That was one of the few PC exclusives I was interested in. Oh well, that is what happens when you do not kake games on console.
