my thunderobot died. motherboard fried.

What gaming laptop should I get? Trying not to go over a grand. Certain specs can be low as I can take components from my existing laptop and pop it in the new one (16gb ram, 500gb ssd.)

I feel like buying video games saves me money, because it keeps me in the house

nikkas really in here trying to take the highroad when it comes to PC gaming :mjlol:

Man fukk all that. Internet was made for pirating. From songs to movies and games. Doesnt matter if u can afford it, if its available for free, youd be dumb as fukk not to take it.

No, we respect the game developers for making a fun, enjoyable product. It takes money to make a game. If everybody was like you, games would never be made. I’m having a worse experience because you steal. Pathetic :pacspit:

the PC version got literally one patch, and that didn't fix shyt. the FAR mod was able to fix these issues hours after release, but was never officially patched into the game. it's a meme at this point, and muthafukkas are talking about it today because of the GOTY announcement

Works fine on my PC - legit version. Also many people just get the pirated version as modders have your back there.





GTAV's legs mostly come from the online mode, that you can't play with a pirated copy. we see this tactic creeping into single player games, like Hitman 2, where an online connection is required to access some of the content

Many people who pirate, also by the legit version...

I'm not sure why you would downplay a number like 30-35%. that's a very significant number of people

Less than 50% is a very small number, in terms of the larger scale, again, many pirates by the game anyway...eventually.



and all that is part of the reason access to JBO is limited to members. The Coli knows some of this content could fukk with their ad money. it's also the reason for phrases like "Pass the Mustard", instead of saying "I need a link to download that album for free"

and ultimately these are separate issues. if shyt goes down because of open discussions about piracy, it's not gonna help to say "b-b-but there's porn on this site too :sadcam:"

Its a moot point, people will join, and post, simple as that. Nothing is gonna get shut down, if Reddit has several /r's about it, a forum wherein you have to create an account will be fine.

to be clear, I'm not saying that companies should choose to not fukk with PC because of piracy. there is still money to be made, if they have a good product. but I also understand the perspective that piracy is a big issue with PC gaming. it's why we get stuck with online-only single player games, and other crazy DRM. and yeah, it gets cracked anyway, and seems like a waste of time, but it keeps happening because they perceive piracy as a major issue. and again, dudes up in here, like "I just downloaded every new game :blessed: ", does nothing to change that perception

Except that ever major company has a series of games on PC.....Call of Duty, Destiny, Rockstar, SquareEnix, etc. Witcher 3 has shown that you don't need DRM to sell more than studio albums and movies. People will by the game, even the pirates. The three biggest titles in gaming currently (Witcher 3, Call of Duty, and GTA) have zero DRM...which comes to me as no surprise...
sometimes the change has to come from you :mj:

It has, I know better than to blind buy games or trust a review on youtube.... I rather steal it, and see if its actually worth a purchase.

you don't see your selected resolution without the FAR (Fix [Nier] Automata Resolution) mod. this is something that shouldn't happen in any PC game, and it was fixed by modders hours after release, but the issue was never officially patched

the FAR mod also unlocks the framerate, and has tweaks for AO and GI that can help performance and stability

Less than 50% is a very small number

:mjlol: we're not talking about the chance of rain here. funny thing is you're part of the group you claim is so insignificant

The three biggest titles in gaming currently (Witcher 3, Call of Duty, and GTA) have zero DRM...

how do COD and GTA have zero DRM? COD BO4 uses Battlenet, and GTA V uses their Social Club shyt

The Witcher 3 is made by an anti-DRM company, and can be bought from GOG DRM-free. on Steam it is sort of DRM-free, since you can launch it without Steam running, however the game still can only be installed on a computer with your Steam account, so you're not free to distribute that version (although there are workarounds for this)

there is something to be said about the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of DRM. and something to be said about being able to try before you buy (although Steam Refunds help with this). but again, you have cats in this thread that have said in so many words that they intend to spend no money on PC games. "many pirates buy the game anyway", but most probably don't

I feel like I've said my piece here. I don't think it's good to discuss illegal activities here. and buy some games to support PC Gaming. I ain't the police though, so do as you please :yeshrug:


I rather steal it
play me at night, they won't act right :ahh:
