The Official Super Mario Galaxy 2 News Thread

[Mino]

Okay everyone. Please stop arguing.

Or at least argue about Super Mario Galaxy.

Oh, we changed the topic. It's about piracy. That's allowed in an open forum, you see.

Mino doesn't turn anything into an argument, that is you and you alone.

It's you that swore at someone for piracy, it's you that reacted to Mino's opinions, it's ALWAYS you, yet you try to blame other people.

No, this thread would still be on topic if he would've have interfered with it. None of the discussion about piracy or any of this would have even come up.

BULL *censored.2.0* ALERT!

No, you could have ignored him.

And he could have not tried to cause trouble.

So the soundtrack has been appearing on youtube of late, having a listen to a few of the songs... it does sound pretty damn good.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepNothing good comes from piracy.

Ohohoho.
So this about opinions that are wrong?
You are sure one to talk. (un)

Don't you agree that stealing is wrong, too? I respect all opinions, unless of course they're ones that are virtually universally accepted as wrong, such as stealing, murder, rape, etc. Do you expect me to not have any problem at all with a murderer? Do you expect me to say "Oh, you kill people, but I can respect that!"?

You're comparing downright crimes, such as the taking of someone's life and the raping of somebody, and the shedding of innocent blood, to the downloading of a game that no one will care about in 5 years anyway, and that will be worth dirt then.

While I stealing isn't as big of a crime as rape and murder, it's still a crime nonetheless.

And I don't know why you say that no one will care about it in five years, especially considering that it's right up there with Ocarina of Time when it comes to greatness.

I have no problem with that. You could start a separate topic though in case people still want to talk about Galaxy.

That list of pirated games that was posted a few pages ago was very funny. If you noticed, all but one of the games was a Nintendo game. Nintendo consoles have no security at all. They basically scream "pirate games pleeeeeeeease!"

That's because it was the top five pirated Wii games, not top 5 pirated games on any console. Read the title. >_>

New Super Mario Bros. Wii has been pirated 1,150,000 times as of December (and likely much more by now). That's 1,150,000 copies that could have potentially been sold.

And not everyone is poor in Latin America. >_> If you can't afford games, then you can't afford games. That doesn't justify thievery.

That's true, and that guy apparently paid 1.3 million for that. You also don't know that none of the downloaders actually bought the game.

Mmm, again, do you really want to go down the road of blaming poor people for their lot in life? What are you, a Republican? For someone who loves video games so much you certainly seem quite selfish with them. Why not embrace a more egalitarian view, or do you still hang on to the way video games were a status symbol, as when we were kids?

I don't really give a damn about any media piracy because the whole system is exploitative. Especially the music industry.

Yes, the guy was fined. And even though that will make up for Nintendo's lost profit, it won't make up for the loss in sales. And, yes, maybe some people who downloaded it also bought they game, but the number of people who would have done that is most likely very, very low.

And I'm not blaming poor people. There was I time in my life where I couldn't afford video games, even though I loved them so much. But I didn't go and steal them, did I? No. I don't care how poor you are, stealing is wrong, no matter if it's digital or not. Besides, if someone is so poor that they can't afford video games, then they should probably be worried about more important things.

I'm assuming that the time in your life that you couldn't avoid video games was... your childhood? When you relied on your parents for money? Well of course you couldn't afford them then. I remember anticipating my birthday for months beforehand. The difference here is that these people can't afford to buy the games because they are poor, not because they are children. Also, I'm not sure if you realize this, but the piracy in Latin America is not internet piracy. It's predominantly the sale of Chinese-manufactured counterfeit systems and games. Do you think these people necessarily know the difference? Not everyone frequents video game forums on the internet.

NIntendo consoles also have the most emulators.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with that. Do they play it on their computer or something then?

Nintendo doesn't make the emulators, pirates do. >_>

 

[Joe]

I'm gunna download the iso tomorrow =D
it looks so amazing.

*censored.3.0* you.

Go out and buy the game like everyone else. Support the developers for making such an amazing game, dammit. >_>

Someone takes the game very seriously.
I already downloaded it, my opinions, it's alright.

I wasn't trying to cause trouble, I was laughing at the way you felt personally offended when someone didn't pay a multinational corporation with profits in the billions some of the money they were owed. That was in the hopes that you would recognize that it's futile to lament the fact that some people pirate games.

Oh, yeah? No *censored.2.0*, huh?

I'm beginning to think you use "pirates" as a catchall term for anyone who you think hasn't given Nintendo enough money.

Still, I know what it's like to not be able to buy video games whenever I want to. Unlike some people whose parent would buy them whatever they want, whenever they want, my mom was a single mom and couldn't afford to get me much, so I was out of luck when it came to video games. And, like I said, if people are too poor to afford video games, then they should be worrying about more important things.

And I know that it's not all online piracy down there. But online piracy is a huge problem, too. Like I said, the R4 completely destroyed the Nintendo DS market down there.

And I didn't see Comatose's posts before this (I was too busy replying to all the other posts >_>), so I'll get back on topic now. I only hope you'll do the same, or leave the thread. >_>

You know what else used to be a crime? Homosexuality. Yet, you won't see me trying to use that analogy for saying that someday stealing will be legal.

Oh hey, that's a real nice sob story, and one that was identical to my own.

And I see you've again chosen to tell the poor people how they should spend their money and time. I find it increasingly alarming that you are unable to see what I'm talking about when I say you're sanctimonious.

That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo games are easiest to pirate. SMG 2 had no security at all.

Oh yeah, we talking about galaxy aren't we. I was more talking about those "normal" games like Luigi's Mansion, which you can get for 5 dollars or less I'm sure, 1 on ebay probably.

You know what else used to be a crime? Homosexuality. Yet, you won't see me trying to use that analogy for saying that someday stealing will be legal.

That's completely different from stealing, though, and don't act like it isn't. Homosexuality is completely natural. You're born gay, it's not your choice. And even if it was, no bad comes from it. Stealing, on the other hand, is a choice, and a bad one at that. You're not born a thief. And no good comes from stealing.

Now, that's my last off topic post in this thread. Let's get back on topic.

That's the sound of my point going over your head. Your argument against it basically can be distilled down to "it's a crime".
