Interestingly, just found out that the Pre-Order for Gamestop has two of those DLC Packs in it (one of which I don't even want :grumpy:). So given there were only two I even had any interest in, that only leaves one DLC pack I do want. Still debating on Pre-order though. At least I won't have to spend nearly as much Now that one of them is included from release.

I forgot GameStop gives two DLC packs. So that means I'll have 3 of 4 of those packs. Glad I pre-ordered now.
 
After taking some time to think about it, Just pre-ordered it. Kinda last minute but before today, I was more occupied with a family member in the Hospital.

Anyhow, decided to do it as I felt it was actually a good deal despite the price. Already, I get half of the DLC packs via Pre-order (The McLaren Racing Pack being one of the two I wanted) for the regular game price and then I only need to pay $6.99 for the other pack I actually want.
 
Just saw an add for Grid 2 on TV While watching Manlab on BBC America and interestingly, the game footage was shown at 60 frames per second and not the 30 frames the original game had. Thought that was Interesting.
 
When you're pirating games does it really matter if they're good? You haven't lost anything.


I'm not pirating to be exact since there is no Demo i had to download first free version to asses if it's worth buying. And then if it is I'm buying full game, for on-line experience and trophies.

For Resident Evil Revelations there was a demo so i bought full game, because it was on my Finish This Game list :)

After Aliens Colonial Marines incident I'm not going to buy any video game that i haven't tested first, demo or pirated version. Period ! Case closed :grumpy:

If I remember your comments correctly, you played that pirated first also, so you already had that 'philosophy' in place beforehand...

Sorry, I don't like the method or rationale. We all had to make game choices before online came along, without knowing what the actual game would be like - it's no different now.

I do think you are bending the excuse to suit the deed...

Sorry for the off topic.
 
Did you play it on PS3? How was the framerate? Press demos a couple of weeks ago had major fps issues.

Let's see how the reviews pan out. I think the embargo is lifting today.
On a Belgian game site one of the reviewers said the same about the press demo. However, it appears that the review version they received is much better. He couldn't disclose more at that time though.

Let's see later today... :)

Use whatever rationale you like, you're pirating games.
 
MotoGamesTV on YouTube has put up the first 15 minutes of the game if anyone is interested.

Your point being?

Pirating has been done massively since the invention of the cassette, with which you could record your favourite songs off of the radio.
Later with the double deck cassette recorders you could also copy your friend's music.
If you had two videorecorders you could easily copy any movie you wished from your friends, which he often bought. And you could copy your bought movies for him.
In the 70's and 80's there was massive sharing going on of software (yes, it was called sharing in those days and not pirating) via the good old BBS (often a sharing point in between people who knew each other). A precurser for what you now all know of a website, chat and forum in one on the internet. With the difference that you phoned/dialed into the particular site. So it's not one massive browse experience like you have now.

To be honest, it's not since the very late 90's and mostly early 00's that the industry started a massive marketing campaign against sharing of these things with friends.
So what did they end up calling it eventually to make it sound like your the lowest of low criminal that's almost equal to a mass murdered. Well, they called it pirating. With that they went on a witch hunt and did some mass lobbying with government officials to get a few laws through to make it illegal that you share your stuff with your friends.

So yeah, we got DRM and we got all sorts of crap. However, what difference did it make to the industry in the end?
Did the industry gain more from the witch hunt financially, or did they just loose money? I mean you'd have to pay tons of lawyers, coders for the DRM... blah blah blah.

I think the only thing we've lost is freedom and privacy, with more bureaucracy before we can eventually enjoy our movies, games... whatever. Yes, movies too because of all the stupid **** about the FBI blah and whatever to tell me not to copy the tape.

To be honest, I don't see the point in going with the 'hype' of being anti-pirate.
According to Steam I have 267 games in my list, so it's not like I don't support the industry. But I am also going to download Grid 2 first before I buy it. I am not convinced from the footage that I will like it.
If I had to base my purchase purely on that, I would not even consider buying it. However, since I have this option available to try the game I will take it.

I am sure everyone has their opinion and has grown up with a different set of values. I respect that, but also try to respect mine and agree to disagree. ;)
Like I said, the industry has not changed ever since that campaign started so... why worry?
 
I only picked up on it because earlier in this thread he was claiming that pre-ordering games harmed the video game industry and then he openly admits to pirating games, as if somehow that doesn't.
 
This may be a dumb question, but does Ravenwest return from Grid or is it a new rival team?

It doesn't matter how you spin it, you are supporting pirating and that affects everyone. Thanks man!

Regardles of values or anything wrong is wrong stealing is wrong prateing and burning games also wrong its a sin game over period
 
I tried it at a friend home and it's a lot like grid 1 at start. Even the maniability feels the same. It just look a bit better.

It seems you have to keep the traction control etc.. on the car, didnt found the option to turn on/off any assist. You can change difficulty and the damage level but that's all I've found. No mention on assist in the difficulty settings.

I'm not going to get into some huge debate about piracy, it's not the thread for it and I'd be a hypocrite to slam others when I've pirated things in the past myself. I simply brought it up with him specifically for the reason I mentioned.

There's no assists in Grid 2.
