@arcangelgold Technically...it's not our property. We own the disc...not the characters, ideas, services, etc. That would be like arguing you had the rights to duplicate it for distribution because it's your property, and I'm pretty sure that's not the case.
@neroist That's a very valid point. And DLC can be difficult to patch and install. Forgive me for my harshness, but so many pirates use that as justification without ever having any intent to purchase anything...even if it were the greatest game ever. Free is free and people get use to thinking with their wallets verse their minds or hearts.
@chrisx28 Way to be a sheep. I suppose you and all your kids have iPhones and iPads too, right?
It's not an internet connection that matters...it's the fact that a game dies when a company stops pouring money into sustaining its servers. You say you're against renting? THIS IS RENTING! If a system is online-only, once a server goes down, the game is completely unplayable. Brilliant concept right? Way to support it.
Oh look, a new overpriced product with a name-brand plastered to it! Don't forget to grab five for your kids!
@zpluffy The issue isn't your access to the internet at all. That's shortsighted. You could be a walking hotspot and it wouldn't change anything.
The REAL issue here are the servers...since you need to be connected to them to play an online game...an online-only game will last only as long as a company supports it. See the problem here? We're no longer buying games, we're just renting them for as long as a company decides to financial support them.
But since you're obviously the Bill Gates of GameSpot financially, I suppose it's just an issue that affects us peasants, right? What good is money anyways? I just hope your spending habits aren't as shortsighted as your logic O_o
@Killer6b9 Their sales. People complain but still buy everything on day 1...including DLC, season passes, guides, and anything else they can get their grubby hands on.
@Double_Wide I understand your argument as a series should be failing or have failed in order to receive a reboot vs the typical next generation remake. Fair enough. Though SMB2 is so drastically different it's difficult to call it a sequel when Mario 3 seems the more obvious predecessor.
In the end I suppose I was a little lax with with what I showed in the video and did venture into remakes in order to fill up the 4:30 minutes I had. Though these are a somewhat of a reboot to next generation standards, they're technically not rebooting the franchise as a whole. You're right. Good call.
This is actually the first video I've ever made and I've learned a ton from it and I'll definitely be more selective in the future! Thanks for the comment ^_^
