PC demo...

[POPWW3]

So 2K didnt want people to see if their PC could run this game fine because they want people to buy the game to test it eh?
This is a cheap marketing move, what a shame:rolleyes:
And Ron just plays dumb as usual ;)

[necrokiller]

Not every company releases a demo... does that mean they're all cheap? NO.

Just google it. It has modest requirements. You don't need a high end PC to play it smooth and look great at the same time.

[MrMakeEmAkRight]

I thought you had the game popww3

[freeizzle]

I just put all of the graphics to low and the screen resolution to the lowest, player detail or whatever on medium, only lags on the first freethrow, time outs, and jump balls.

[pcline85]

So what exactly are your specs?

I am not ****ed off in the fact that there is no demo, what bothers me is that Ron said that the demo was coming two days before or after the realese, wich didnt happen. Then he says that its coming in the following days and that the demo is ready, still nothing. And he stills play dumb when someone PM him or ask him in any thread about the PC demo. This is what ****ed me off.

And no i dont have the game but i know i can run it, i have seen the specs and i am fine.
Like i said what bothers me is the way Ron handled the situation here. I still cant get the game where i live, so i was looking forward for the demo.

dude just be like me n dont buy the game. i heard people cant even install the game to play and no online for a 2008 sports game " testing the pc market so no online" wtf?

I will play this game because i think its a great basketball game and i love basketball, BUT iam probably going to play the pirated version seeing how Ron and company only show up for console announcements. I will play the game but they arent going to seea cent from me.

You are a disgrace to PC gaming. You do realize this is the reason why EA took off the Live series from the PC, crappy or not it was the only bball game we had to play on PC. So what if Ron or whatever don't show up for PC announcements or whatever your complain is, point is that consoles are the future and theres a lot of business there. It is understandable and consoles are moving fast these days and so PC is not the only powerful platform for games anymore (still the best though), plus add the amount of games being pirated on the PC. No online mode, thats ok! Its not the end of the world...atleast the price tag of $19.99 is justifiable. Its all business man...suck it up... and if you like it..then BUY it. You have childish arguments for not buying this game and based on that its clear that you weren't gonna buy it even if it was $10. More people like you and we won't see NBA 2k10 on the PC. Stop whining and just wait for the game. (theres always ebay you know)

Damn i think i wont sleep well tonight.
Sorry man but you sound too nerdy. I know what you are saying but i have to pay like 120 to play this here and thats not gona happen, i really giva a **** what some nerds have to say about this. I mean i like video games but i am not nerd enough to spend that in a video game. If we dont see NBA 2K10 because of pirates so be it, i would still play this with the modds and updates, sorry for you if that happens, but i dont really care ;)

[necrokiller]

Hahahaha what exactly was nerdy about it? If I can spend more on games it means I can....uhhh..afford it, not that Im nerdy. You dont have to be a genius to figure that out. Youre the nerd complaining about a stupid demo..Sucks for you man coz I only paid $19 for it. I hope you get to atleast steal the game off the internet and enjoy it..but then again I dont give a rats *** either

Saying that iam a disgrace to pc gaming is pretty nerdy, to be honest its pretty embarasing in my opinion.
Sucks for me? how is that? I am 74% ready to play the game and i paid $0 for it ;)
Dont worry dude, i will enjoy my free game for sure :rotfl:

I wouldn't have been as blunt with it as he was, but he's also right. I've waited years for a decent sports game on PC... MLB and NBA just aren't supported here anymore. Piracy, whether or not it should be, is a big part of that. I'd argue that it really doesn't matter, but when the people who pay the salaries see people pirating their games, you can be ****** sure they aren't going to continue funneling money into them.

I've paid for NBA 2K9, and am waiting for it in the mail; I can't wait to play it. But it's disheartening to see anybody pirating a game the likes of which so many of us have waited so long for (the disbelief when it was first announced is very telling), not to mention having an attitude like yours, knowing all too well what the consequences may be. Bottom line, think about what you're doing here; this is a litmus test for the market, and you're not making it look worth exploring.

Yeah i would like to have 2K10 next year in PC too and i understand that you dont like people to pirate the game for obvious reasons. I just say that iam not going to pay to play the game because of the reasons i stated in previous posts, and like you said i know its not the best for the series but i dont care much. Iam sorry for all of you if 2K10 doesnt come to pc but i do what i want and i can live fine if they decide to not realese it next year(iam pretty sure they will though).

[necrokiller]

Your reasons are very immature. If you were really ****ed of or whatever you woulnt play the game at all. You're just finding an excuse to download it...and im not sure what you're trying to prove here by boldly admitting the fact that you wont buy the game. You're lucky what people say on this forum is taken lightly otherwisee you'd be banned by now...and dont bs that you don't care for that either otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Im sure we'll live without 2K10 as well... it would just be disappointing to discontinue it coz of kids like you. Ahh well..happy downloading!

[POPWW3]

Yea and whining about how consoles are getting more attention than PC isn't nerdy...riiight :rotfl:

Whining about that is not nerdy exept if you think that saying the truth about how Ron "works" here is nerdy. But what you said was too exaggerated, like saying that gaming is serious business. But dont get me wrong i like video games too but its just a hobby like it should. So implying that gameing is serious business its a little ridiculous in my opinion. That being said fool around with the customer is a different issue.

Why wouldnt i play the game at all for being angry with the way Ron is behaving?
Like i said i love basketball and this is the best basketball game so no doubt iam gona play it.
Oh please dont say iam trying to find an excuse for download it, i dont need a freacking excuse for it, i just gave my reasons. I said i wont pay 150 for a video game because its crazy and i wont.
I cared for being banned till i found a site with by far more usefull information about the pc version of the game so untill i find the need to ask something in this forum for some reason i wouldnt really care.
Haha the classic "kid" calling eh? I always found this a little stupid because people say kid to other person without knowing his age just because they are angry with the other person.
"Ahh well..happy downloading!"
Thanks i am 87% :D

I assume you're quoting 150 assuming you need a new video card... This is common, but completely ludicrous. It's like saying you need to devote at least $310 to play the X360 version. If your PC isn't equipped for gaming, that's on you, not anybody else. If you decide to upgrade it, you'll see benefits in many more things than just NBA 2K9. Either way, the argument makes no sense.

You say you understand, that's fine. But you clearly don't care. It's $20 FFS, that's not a lot to take one person away from the wastes of life who pirate the game and add one to 2K's official sales. If you can't afford that you have other things to worry about besides gaming. Go get some food stamps first.

I'm starting to understand necro's anger a bit more. I didn't realize just how much of an *** you are. You're openly stealing something, screwing honest people like myself and others over, and acting like it's cool to do so. You're making ridiculous excuses supporting your actions... Well, frankly, I hope there's a virus in that download (more than that, but I'd really rather not risk banishment, this is a decent forum). Be careful son, you're going to ruin mom and dad's computer! Have fun!

So what you're saying is that you're really desperate to play the game... but no, you won't pay for it simply because Ron said a demo will be released and it was not? Wow. Thats messed up.

Ofcourse gaming is a serious business, like any other business for that matter....ofcourse its not to you since I can bet you never bought a game in your life. It is a hobby, but why shouldn't you have to pay for it? Just because its easier to STEAL? It hurts their business and in the end we as consumers suffer too. (Best example being that NBA LIVE will not be coming to PC anymore, but since 2K9 is out..no one really cares).

I say you're a kid regarding your actions and behaviour... if you're actually old enough not to be called a 'kid' then its embarassing for you. :D

Still not 100%? All that time you keep your computer ON, mommy and daddy paying the electricity and internet bills for you to download it.. I wouldn't technically call it a FREE game after all. :rotfl:

It is so hard to read?
I said in previous posts that in my country the game is $150, ONLY THE GAME!! My pc can run it for sure. And like i said there is no way i will pay $150 for this game.
Yeah i know i dont care, i said it ten times already jeez.
I am an *** now? i wont sleep well tonight :(
And there is not a virus in the download, its a well known download and its clean ;)
Plus the PC is mine :D
Now that you know that the game is $150 in my country maybe you arent too mad now, but if the situation was different just want you to let you know that i give a crap if i screw you over (at least in this kind of staff).
And like i said (like ten times too >_>) i will definetly have fun with the game. I still play the NBA 2K9 PS2 version and love it, i cant imagine how better this will be :D

Think what you like about me generally buying my games or not (its seems you like to make stuff up so if that makes you happy).
Like i said even when the game is $150 i was ready to support it untill i stoped getting support from 2K.
I hope you arent stupid enough to dont understand what i meant by saying that gaming shouldnt be a serious business in peoples life. If it is in yours its fine, but it is pretty sad in my opinion.
Yeah still not 100%, 6GB doesnt download as fast as you would think ;)
But it seems you know crap about internet conections and elecrticity bills :rotfl:
In a serious note some of my friends that are in my house couldnt stop laughing at your moronic response about the game not being free :p
You have to admit it was pretty stupid of your part, its like you are ambarassing yourself even more. I, like most people, keep my PC on damn offten. And its not my fault that you have phone internet :rotfl: What a moron the internet bill its the same regardless of anything exept if you are too poor or something and have phone internet :rotfl:

I have a serious and final advice for you, stop worring too much about this kind of stuff and get a life dude, maybe when you get a girl or something you wont get mad so often :p

That is frankly surprising, but I doubt that's only this game. It makes no economic sense, and I have no reason to believe pricing like that is isolated to one of the cheapest PC games to be released recently.

I say it's not your computer because I still highly doubt it is. Nobody old enough to buy something like that would have the kind of immature "I don't care" attitude you're touting - or, at least, they wouldn't act so proud of it /shrug.

I know the price is unbelivable and it sucks.
In my opinion it is more immature to care too much about stuff like this. Your "i know you must be a kid because i say your attitude is childish" behaviour is stupid in the internet, just dont be an hypocrite and better talk about stuff you know with facts, its nonsense to do otherwise.
And the i dont care attitude is nothing special, i really dont care what is so crazy about it?
Iam indeed proud of not being like you guys, geting so mad because of this is pretty pathetic in my opinion.

[necrokiller]

HAhahahahaha hes such a loser man... ive been with more girls than you'll ever be around son...lets not get into that. How pathetic is it to be mad at not getting customer support? :rotfl: what a cry baby..tell your girl that, if any, and tell me if you see her face again. hah
Stop sitting your *** infront of the pc and downloading like theres no tomorrow. Get a life.
He says he doesn't care but ends up having a word with us here...pathetic.
Sometimes its the silly customer support that put you off..and then the price. Admit it son..you got more issues than these. I think we all know whose poor here..poor guy can't afford a game so boasts on internet that hes cool and downloads game for free.
Which country do you live in? How can it be $150? THat sucks big time. Why will we be mad at you downloading ****? I never said I don't download stuff...but atleast I don't have the "im too cool for your money" attitude..thats just lame in my opinion. And its a called a dial-up internet dumb-***. 'phone internet' haha geez so now I know you're quite uneducated as well.

You just told me it's immature to be annoyed at somebody stealing a product I've been waiting 3+ years for, ultimately contributing to the possibility that this is a one-off for 2K Sports oh the PC... And that it's not immature to be stealing something like this in the first place.

Pretty clear I'm not going to convince you, but I still wish you'd consider the effects of the stuff you do. I guess my argument comes down to this: I have no respect for you and people like you who steal the results of countless hours of hard work and then act like it's no big deal.

Calling me a kid again, and saying you have a life, when both of us know that its not true ;)
Dude i didnt want to be too hard with you, but you really seem to be a nerd freack more and more with each response. I am sure that you got mad when i told you that you dont have a girl. That was just guessing basing in your behaviour but i am pretty sure now, it got you crazy with fury :rotfl: and i must admit that i cant stop laughing.
Its not my fault that you are ugly man (...its your parents fault really, no offense :o) so dont get too mad because i say you dont have a real life and for that you go crazy about nothing ;)
You even say that you may download stuff as well (steal is what you said right? ;)) So you even contradict yourself, you have just showed an average internet answer for a 11 years old. And you know iam right so you are too tired of being embarrassed over and over so you said you have finished with me :rotfl:, thats like admiting you cant say nothing logical anymore and i agree, evit yourself more embarrassement and stop posting for your own good ;).

Ok i respect your opinion, but it is pretty clear that i see things different.
You should know by now that i know perfectly well what i am doing but i literaly dont give a crap of what the gaming community thinks.
I obviously dont give a crap if people that i dont know and i dont care about respect me or not (lets face the truth you could die tomorrow and i wont notice ****).
Why close this? Lets keep it real! :p
