PostPosted: Thu, 13th Jul 2006 23:31    Post subject: Free Cheat Codes? No, hehe!
I don't quite know if I should post this in the Bitching Spot but since its concering a PC game I'll put it here...
Ok, this one really ticked me off..I recently downloaded and played through Micro.Machines.V4 and as those who also played it might have noticed - you can't get more than 260 cars (of 750) even if you completely finish the game. So where have they gone? I did some research...
Not only is this game Starforce infested (gladly cracked by RLD) but it also has a Bonuscode system to unlock hidden content. Sounds nice, right? Now fasten your seatbelts..

YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CODES!

Although you get 2 free codes when registering (omg how generous those people are!) and thus leaving them bastards the opportunity to spam your email with their ad shit - you need at least 4 codes to unlock all cars. (or you make 1000 profiles and play 500h to unlock all cars, or trade them which is just as lame)

Let me quote Codemasters:
Quote:

Buy bonus codes online!
Welcome to the Codemasters Hints & Tips section, where for only $5.49 you can purchase unlocks and cheats for your favourite games.


And read for yourself:
http://www.codemasters.com/cheats/index.php?c=40&PHPSESSID=82ccf61f82&territory=EnglishUSA

Remember the Oblivion people demanding money for their mods? Microsoft's Xbox Live currency "Microsoftpoints"? Similar insanities - and I bet this is just the beginning.

There is only one thing I can say - boycott those greedy bastards! The gaming industry, RIAA, MPAA they are all the same pile of shit! Evil or Very Mad

Hail piracy, hail the scene and hail the internet for giving us this great opportunity to kick capitalism in the ass Laughing

Whats next? Pay for getting your game patched up? i wouldnt be surprised if this was the case....greedy fuckers.
First we pay for a game, then they throw out a few patches and then some add-on packs (Oblivion) which we got to pay for..... Whats up with the little extra you get after buying a game now a days?

The savegame from gcw unlocks all cars and classes, but not the bonus tracks Wink
So even if you buy the crappy codes you won't get the full game grinhurt

I concur. Paying for an extra car in a game is really weak, or an extra quest for that matter. However, having to pay for cheats/help is not a new thing in any way. Remember all the 900 #'s in the back of game booklets (hint lines.) What about a game genie? Or game shark. Paying for cheats is almost as old as gaming is.

Play fair. If you cant - pay money! Mwahahaha!!!
No really, nothing new or special here
Look, almost any MMORPG - you pay for patches, every month. You even pay to be able to play the fucking game, after you bought it and payed full price.

If you cant finish the game (alot of examples here) or unlock secrets because the game has stupid illogical puzzles, you can buy nice book for just 20$ which will help you....

etc..

codemasters have been doing that since the amiga days, all the toca games have it to
btw nearly all companys used to do this but it seems that codemasters are one of the few that didnt stop it when the internet became available to the masses.

btw someone will prob release a code generator for it they did for the toca games, codemasters do it in a really shitty way aswell not every copy of the game uses the same codes which i assume is done to stop people beeing able to give there friends the codes Laughing
theres usually like 3 + diff versions of the game with different serial numbers relating to the codes that work on them

Yeah, some rich DOX group should invest some money in this "pay-for-codes" thing and make a trainer out of it. Smile Or we'll send PiZZA our 5,95$ for the cheats. They need the money. ^^ Codemasters is rich enough and doesn't deserve our dough.

I once had a trainer for Toca Race Driver 1 but it didn't work... Sad

The sims is a pile of moneymilking shit.
When are they going to make an option to have longer days in the game?
It's only cool for building houses and gardens but the game is just a stress game.
Wake up, go to toilet, take shower, eat, work, toilet, sleep and it goes on
It should be illegal to charge people for playing that game Very Happy

you realize paying for content is the future of the console scene right... as it costs em money to make content available (like patches). With ghost recon advanced warfighter for example, the console patch costs money, the pc one does not.

Finishing the game before selling it isn't profitable anymore, so they finish most of it, then sell extra content later, hey, if they can sucker people into buying broke software, they can sucker them into buying fixes aswell (works for microsoft right Razz ).

Epic is planning to release mods, user-created content and bonus pack for Unreal Tournament 2007 on console, as long as Sony and Microsoft will let them.
