Just installed CMR3 (non-demo) - and I'm well disappointed. No arcade play. No custom cam view. Washed out colours - giving a sense of remoteness. Crap physics - cars just pivot at the centre. Just isn't immersive or even engaging. Glad I only paid 19 quid for this pile of shite. Version 2 is a much better deal - so I'm continuing to play with that. CMR 3.0 going cheap ..... any takers ? |
I find it amusing to see this many original games being bought.
I don't remember when was the last time I saw an original of
any game or program here in Croatia.

Well, you could have at least tried it before you bought it. I find it amusing to see this many original games being bought. I don't remember when was the last time I saw an original of any game or program here in Croatia. |
world calls that pirated software. Would you still pirate the titles if
they were made locally and your fellow citizens relied on the sales of their
software for revenues?

before trying it out first. On the other hand, imagine giving 1/3 or 1/2
of what you earn a month for a game!
Yes, there are some local products, and I've never seen an original of
them either.

understand that attitude. But in that case, how do people afford computers in
the FIRST place?

How do you afford to buy a PC then? |
I worked on a P133 'till 4 months ago. Didn't upgrade for almost 7
years.

Remember these are games and SHOULD be considered luxury items. If you can't afford them, you don't buy them. You don't steal them. |

If the games cost that much(or Croatians earn that little), then I can understand that attitude. But in that case, how do people afford computers in the FIRST place? |
I was lucky to get a job (first one, I'm 21) and work for around
6 months before having to quit (another story). If it weren't
for that, I'd be still using a 7 year old Pentium 133.
I paid $500 for a xp1700/512 ddr/40gb/gf4mx based pc.
I was a salesperson in a hi-fi audio/video store (I'm an audiophile)
and was paid $300/month for 8-10h/day, and was lucky to get it.
My fathers last job was paid around $270/month. The lowest pay check
here (by law) is $230, and most people work for $250-300.
With around $500/month your life here would be rather easy. Everything
over $800/month and you're a rich man.
Things in Serbia are even worse ($70-80/month being the usuall), but food
prices are down too. But software costs the same in US, here, and in
Serbia (ex YU).
No wonder there are no legal copies around when sometimes we can't even
afford some blank cdrs.
Oh, sorry, I'm talking too much
Sorry if there are any typos/spelling issues
Greetings from Croatia, Osijek (http://www.hr).
