I really only don't pirate games if they are on sale (I bought Spirit Tracks for $20 last week because it was on sale new at Fry's), have a really awesome collectors edition/preorder gift, or if the dump has some issue the drives me up the wall (like Grand Bazaar's glitch flashing at the top of the screen. I ended up just buying that.), or if it's just too much of a pain to pirate. Speaking of which, I really need to go to the bank and make a deposit so I can get the PC version of KotOR from Steam. I have the second game for the PC, and I own both games for the Xbox, but the Xbox isn't mine and my sister wants it back...

I wouldn't call it pirate syndrome in my case. Its more like shovelware filtering, I DL a lot of games, try them out for a bit and if they still suck after 30 mins they get erased. If they have potential I will usually keep them for a rainy day. Only a few ever make it to the "good enough to spend the money on a retail" status and I am more than happy to shell out the bucks for them even after I have completed the game.

Those would include, The Marios and Mariokarts, The Zeldas, The Metroids, Final Fantasy's that have nothing to do with crystals, Chrono Trigger would be the best RPG ever made, Sin and Punishment 1 and 2, Trauma Center was a real gem amongst the shovelware, I woulda paid for Dead Space Extraction if it would have had a bit more content it was a awesome game but too short and the replay value wasn't all that great. Ghost Busters is also pretty fun and I might just buy that one too. And if they ever made a DK64 style game for wii I would probably make love to it for a thousand years.

Ah yes, thank god the mods deleted my post forever. You guys are the real patriots. Cause I can't make a comment on a thread bumped from JULY. Cause you need to protect the vital integrity of this forum. In the off-topic section. Thank you so much for sterilizing my errors and insulting me behind a veil of anonymity, Mr. Anonymous mod. How brave.

Nostalgia, Miles Edgeworth, Heart Gold (though I bought this). Maybe some other games but I can't remember them.

Games I quit playing: Sands of Destruction, SMT: Strange Journey, Luminous Arc 2, Lunar Knights.
Games I want to play but never did: Glory of Hercules, DQ9
I hope to finish these... someday.

If you have a problem, PM a mod. Seriously, you sound pretty childish right now.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
...
Umm... damn, I don't know if I've beaten any other games that I've pirated...
Which is a lot of them.
I'm trying to get through Dead Space.
We'll see how that goes.
Actually, I beat Extraction, so I guess that didn't give me pirate syndrome.

All of the above games never stop giving, constant replay worth, I never regretted buying them at all.

Tetris. No matter how much you play, you can always play more.

Amen. I'm usually plagued with Pirate Syndrome, but this game gave me the Tetris Effect!

I've also enjoyed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars from start to finish, as well as Chibi Robo: Park Patrol, the Professor Layton series, and Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. (The latter so much, in fact, that I went out and bought a legitimate copy later on!)

I have a habit of downloading a batch of games after a few hours, transferring them to my DS, I turn it on, check if each game stars properly, then go back and randomly play them for about 15 or so minutes. When you have something like Google at your possession it's hard to keep your attention on only just one game.

That and I'm a collector by heart, both in physical and downloaded games. So pay no attention to me, I have a problem. -_-

On the DS, I finished the first two Phoenix Wright games, and both Professor Layton's, about 20% with GTACW, and completed the career mode in Tony Hawks American Sk8land. On PC, I've mostly stopped pirating, because most of the games I want to play are multi-player. I think the last pirated PC game I completed was CoD 4.

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way
