Ever read the bibical story about the men in the field?
Nope, don't know that story. Enlighten me!

In reference to the above parable. The ending of the story has the man who worked all day complain to the boss about the man who worked only half the day getting the same amount of money. The boss basically says, "He worked hard. When you came in, we agreed upon your wages. When he came in, he and I agreed upon his wages. Why to you begrudge me the ability to do what I want with my money in paying my workers."

Ravinhood... it works both ways. That means you shouldn't constantly tell people to wait till the bargain bin if they wish to pay full price

You know the part of the bible about "He who is without sin cast the first stone..."

Now... where is my game on the Albigensian Crusade... either AGEOD or WCS want to make that yet?

SoM

Yup and where is that person without sin who can cast the first stone at me? ;) I made good point about the men who waited till 3pm to start working, they got the same pay as those that started at 6am (same principle behind buying a released version and waiting on bargain bin both get the same quality game in fact the one who waited actually gets a better fixed finished and complte game. Thus, the early bird may get the worm, but, the later bird gets the best ones. ;) Or in my case cheaper priced "fixed" completed games.

As far as "shouldn't tell people to wait on bargain bin prices....why not?" I think we live in a democracy here where it is everyones right of freedom of expression and speech. (oh not on all forums of course, but, that is up to whether the moderators have been instructed to act like the gestapo or not) Therefore if I want to "tell" people to wait on bargain bin prices I certainly don't see your reasoning as to not to. Would you dictate what others say now? Would you dictate what others buy and when? I merely give them a suggestions it's hardly "demanding" they wait on bargain bin prices as many here "demand" I buy or own a game to give reviews of them (of course I pay them no mind as you can see from my many informed reviews ;0) ). How silly of them. Do I need to own a Lamborgini to give a review of it? Hardly lol. DO I need to go to every game of my favorite team to give a review of how they are playing? Hardly. We give reviews not only based on hands on, but, our observations of others reviews as well. Other forum members who give their own insights after playing a game. Not just here mind you..you think this is the only site that gives opinions of games made by Matrixgames? lol You think I'm the only one to have ever called HTTR or COTA a kiddie clickfest? lol Hardly.

It is rare that I now purchase a game that I need to wait for a patch for (granted not always I still break my rules occassionally when a game is fresh and new and not some sequel or repeat of something old I already have). When I get most games now it is ready to be played. All patching completed a FINAL production as is the way it should be when released. I've just learned to beat the system at it's own game. If others don't wish to follow and rather think they need to be some supporters to the cause, sobeit. I am the one that reaps the MOST benefits in the long term no matter how you look at it.

If one company goes bellyup there is another an another an another an another to take its place. Think of it like the Mike in the Morning commerical lately with the Mikes, put all the developers in the world in the pot and we will never see the end of wargame creation it would be just another Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike & Mike....(alright already you've made your point pass the color marker please geesh lol ..I love Mike & Mike in the Morning)

Back to AACW and FOF: there is no bargain bin for them, and they were nicely playable from the start (I own both but only paid one of the two

). So no need to wait, buy both

I think they are pushing their bandwidth, it's usual for me to not be able to login until 10 or 11 AM on the West Coast, lately it been getting later and later. AACW must be doing well...

Actually there is and will be if Strategy First is marketing them. Amazon.com will bargin bin BOA not long from now. And Bargain Bin for Matrixgames is every Christmas as when I buy most of my matrixgames titles. :) So, yes, there's bargain bin prices, yah just have to know where to look for them and/or wait for them. If you make a deal with Matrixgams to sell AACW then there's also a high probability it will come up for Christmas Holiday pricing and that means if it's Christmas Special here it's Christmas Special at NWS. hehe

Also just FYI to all my fans out there in Matrixland GOgamer.com has Europa Unversalis III onsale for $14.90 for the next 80 hours. For those that waited as I did..here's your chance to get it for a song an a six pak. ;)

yes our server is down again. I have phoned the person in charge of it, but he is MIA for now. Sidenote, the e-boutique is not handled by our site, so you can still acquire the game this night, if you wish so

Well, ravinhood...as usual you completely miss the mark.

The point about bargain bin is this...do you really think developers would be kicking about or new ones queuing up to make games, if ALL us gamers were as tight fisted as you?

The point still stands, clever parable quote or not, that without anyone buying full priced games, you'd be on Playstation 3 by now.

Your teachings could well be your undoing.

And you are absolutely full of crap when you say this...

quote:

If you do, you're more of a fleecer than I took you for. What a cheap skate way to promote or demote a game to people...by using what other reviewers say and transposing it into your own "mini" ill-informed review.

Buy the damn game or, at the bloody very least, play the ****ing demo before you go spouting your mouth off about how bad a game plays.

Full of **** from tip to toe

Lol boy I sure got in ole JudgeDredds craw again didn't I? lol Remember Judge it was by your own words and your own speculative opinion of what I'm good at? So, why do you let yourself beat up yourself so if you "believe" I am capable of such? lol Poor Judge just doesn't know how to live and let live with other people. I learned it a long time ago. The only important person in your life is yourself, family next, then friends, your pets (sometimes pets before friends lol) and last but not least strangers. Why people allow strangers to upset them so is beyond me. I'm just speaking the informed truth about my way of life, my way of buying games and my way of dealing with reviews. Live wit it, it ain't gonna change. ;)

RH,

You missed the point of the parable. The parable isn't praising the worker who came late and got paid the full price (i.e. Early bird vs. latecomer). It is praising the boss who generously paid full price (i.e. not bargain bin) for a worker who only worked half day because it was his money to be generous with. According to your logic the parable would mean that God would look down at your soul at death and say, "I think I will wait for it to hit the bargain bin," rather than "I'll be generous and save it, despite the fact that he was just recently released and came to his senses late in the game."

Speaking of bargain bin, I am pleased to see that TOAWIII just got put on sale. Now I have to decide if I have the time/money/will to take advantage of it. Sigh... why do they have to be like this, AACW releases, Out of the Park Baseball 2007 releases, and now a sale on a game I have been drooling over since Christmas. C'est la vie!

SoM

P.S I thot sour cream and Creme Fraiche was about the same thing and was under the impression u could buy that in USA. Any medium sized Danish convinient store has 10 different types of Creme Fraiche. im sure they dont aspire to be any where near Eric's tho.

Just an FYI I bought OOTPBB 2007 RETAIL UPON RELEASE....and it's the GREATEST simulation baseball game ALMOST ever. lol Did you see Gamespy's Review of it? 5 stars 5 stars baby. Ummmm how many did Pure Sim get? tee hee. lol This version is more like 6.5a with more tweaks and whistles really. It finally put in a face maker program so you don't have to look at those ? players in the stat pages or during the game and draws some pretty decent very random faces for many different races. Although I'm really surprised a Dominican Republic face maker wasn't input instead of INDIAN...how many ball players do we have from INDIA?? I musta missed something along the way in the last several years. If you like to write (like me) you can now write your own post game reports for yourself or for an online league.

But, anywhoo what was the topic here? Ohhhh that new game AACW....Oh I'll probably buy it eventually some "Christmas Special" or on one of these BlitzeKreig Specials like TOAW III is now. Great price btw Matrixgames et al. ;)
