Guardians Proper Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Now they have their extended Registered user crap where you pay twice as much so you can download Game Demos... The whole thing is a scam, along with IGN's thing. Do they actually think that they're the only Game Review website?!?! Link to comment
orappa Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Do they actually think that they're the only Game Review website?!?! What's annoying is that they also own the Planet* network of fan sites, and having a coporation in charge of a fan site is the worst thing you can possibly do. The Planet* network has a good range of resources, but the only problems are: 1) The constant adverts 2) Every (and I mean every) download link points to FilePlanet, so you have to do a Google search for the files you want Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 As for FilePlanet, I've got a registered account from my buddy so I get the sweeeet Fast Servers. Link to comment
orappa Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 I find that the normal servers are pretty speedy - I get about 68KB/s as opposed to about 45 on most servers. However, with at least a 30 min wait, the total download time is lower for the slower servers. We are waaay off topic, btw. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Not really... Well, I just usually do a google search for the files (like you said) Link to comment
xerox Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 just a note, its IGN/Gamespy now (d8cam is gonna get a laugh outta that) the merger must be refered to as IGN/Gamespy in that order i believe =) I thought IGN bought out Gamespy... oh well Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I thought IGN bought out Gamespy... oh well No one buys out GameSpy!!! GameSpy will eventually run the world!!! Link to comment
Slothman Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 any news about a http://www.planetmultitheftauto.com? Link to comment
orappa Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 any news about a http://www.planetmultitheftauto.com? Why oh why did I click that link expecting it to be a site? And are you sure you want Gamespy cashing in on MTA? Link to comment
NosGoth Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 No one buys out GameSpy!!!GameSpy will eventually run the world!!! Let's hope not! Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I can only imagine. If GameSpy ran the world, we'd all have to pay $4.95/month to live on it. Link to comment
StAnToN Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 gamespy is a load of shite with ads Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 gamespy is a load of shite with ads No way. GameSpy Arcade is actually pretty useful. Link to comment
orappa Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 No way.GameSpy Arcade is actually pretty useful. I prefer Gamespy 3D to Arcade because it's a lot less... meaty. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Well, GSA has always been good to me. Of course, this is post-registration that I'm referring to. Link to comment
Outback Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 True Crimes multiplayer sucks ass. it looks and runs very shitily, and you can't even move forward and sideways at the same time. MTA is far superior. End of story. Link to comment
Slothman Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 wow, you cant strae and move forward at the same time? now thats a major problem/bug for gameplay. thats what happens when you get a crappy console port. (the gta ports are damn near perfect) Link to comment
rolla Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 yah true crims blows liek theres no walk/run thing, your always running full speed, so it very difficult trying to get int oa car, or doing anything really. I hate true crimes with a passion Link to comment

(the gta ports are damn near perfect) I saw a commercial for TC last night. It looks really sloppy. Like some sort of crappy/buggy Grand Theft Auto... Link to comment
Guest Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Now I know what game NOT to buy for PC....multiplayer would've been the only reason...wanted to compare it to MTA. Kinda thought a professional game developer such as Luxoflux, would have gone through more testing/QC time...looks like they screwed up... Thanks for not letting me waste money with TC... LOL TC get top action game on the SpikeTV game award show IIRC...a joke of a show IMO... Link to comment
d8cam Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 lol You guys are funny. No one bought out anyone. IGN and GameSpy merged: http://www.igngamespy.com Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 "Merged" my ass. GameSpy bought out IGN, plain and simple. GameSpy "merged" with Mplayer a few years ago... They left the name as "IGN/GameSpy" so dumb people would know they were at the former IGN's website, as opposed to if GameSpy had renamed it, they'd be confused... Link to comment
d8cam Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 "Merged" my ass.GameSpy bought out IGN, plain and simple. GameSpy "merged" with Mplayer a few years ago... IGN still has its website and nothing has changed. MPlayer's website is nowhere to be found. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Mplayer was bought out many years ago, and they turned http://www.mplayer.com into an advertisement for GameSpy. Mplayer claimed they "merged" as well, or at least, that's what the website said. I told you, they left the name as "IGN/GameSpy" because IGN is too popular to rename, they'd lose many customers, people like you, because they would be upset with GameSpy's attempt to control the world... lol Link to comment

Yeah, if you manage to find Mplayer on an old CD somewhere and install it, it comes up with a message to install Gamespy Arcade. IGN still has its website and nothing has changed. I don't use IGN much, but I do know for a fact that download links now point to FilePlanet, so some things definitely have changed. I told you, they left the name as "IGN/GameSpy" because IGN is too popular to rename, they'd lose many customers, people like you, because they would be upset with GameSpy's attempt to control the world... lol At least it's better than Microsoft's attempts to control the world.
