i live in london (thats the capital of england if you dont know) and in england when you read a magazine (my fav is psw) you hear about japan geting games, then america gets them 2 months later then we get them 6 months later.

Do you think there should be a world wide realise date.!!!!

London is gay. GO GO AMERIKAAAAA LLOOLOLOLZzz

i live in england in near nottingham crapital of the east and i agree with you about release dates because america gets everything first

In England everyone still rides around on horses calling people "Knaives" if they are rich. If they aren't rich, they run around in circles shouting "Tea and Crumpets, Wot Wot!!!".

There are also dragons in England.

I think you will find the Crapital is Leicester! No Contest!

I have the misfortune of living in England, yes.
Portsmouth, which is why I consider it to be a misfortune.

Oh hello Kat. You should move to the states, yes... Or canada.

I used to live in the states for 4 years when my dad worked over there, it was much to my preference. We then had to move back here, which after several weeks of adjusting to, I thought: Oh bollocks.

Oh god, I live in the same country as these people, they don't represent us! Don't listen to them!

I live in Hastings on the South East coast of England. I love the country, it's just the government and people here :(

If you're makin' a video game thread, make it in the video game forum. =)

ROLLING OUT TO GENERAL GAMING

KEEP ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING ROLLING YEAH

I'm not taking this, it's not about games. It's about england.

then dont post here dumbass

then dont post here dumbass
I moved it here from general gaming, cuntrag.

cuntrag?!! WTF is that ? and i only saw it on misc. so w/e

The point of the thread is "do you think there should be a world wide release date for video games."

CATCH

I thought it was about who lived in england

Fine, it dies here.

stop closing things just because you personally don't like them. ^^;;

anyway, people in the chat were bitching about ntsc vs pal. but they were bitching at the gaming companies. it sort of amazes me how many people don't get it- it isn't up to the gaming companies. our tv's have a different standard.

What a coincidence! You poor souls.

I'm sending this back over to general discussion and will continue to if the next 5 posts aren't fucking GAMING related, which is what this part of the forum is about.

I moved it here from general gaming, cuntrag.
HAHAHAHA YES MMM

that was exceedingly funny

i praise you for that one

If the release date is later in England than America can you not order the games online?

no, you can't, because games from the US are NTSC and games from the UK/europe/asia are generally PAL. TV's have a different frequency and framerate depending on where you live.

there are ways around it, but it certainly doesn't work "out of the box"- or anything remotely close to that.

Does any1 no how pirated Doom 3 was. Very. It was the biggest pirated game of all time. Why? Because it came out in the USA 2 weeks before UK.And what is the point of releasing Metal gear solid 3 in Japan and telling the UK to wait 6 months?!? I HATE IT ALL!! >:O >:O >:O

Yeah, and then it was released completely identical in Britain.

I wrote an entire guide using a pirated copy. I own one now, but fuck, they had no reason to delay it.

the UK got Zelda and the minish cap before the U.S.

So there you go (and it was a damn good game too.)

And to this day I still have no idea why.

I heard that Pal runs on 60hz and Ntsc runs on 50Hz but thats all bollocks to me. Don't know much technological talk. I do know however, that I use Pal and we always get ugly, blocky borders around everything.

Excuse me, my simple minded fool. London is not 'gay', it's just unlucky when it comes to videogame release dates. I like American's, so don't treat us Briton's badly.
Yes, there should be a worldwde release, then everyone could share the same joy as others and never miss out on the hype!

i live in england in near nottingham crapital of the east and i agree with you about release dates because america gets everything first

Heh heh lol you wrote crapital!

Lol......Yeah, I think games and such should be released everywhere on one day, not Japan first, then US, then Europe.

Yes, of course Japanese people should have to wait to play games until they've been translated into every other major language in the world. It makes absolutely no sense for people to get to play something first just because the game was originally written in their own language.

Does any1 no how pirated Doom 3 was. Very. It was the biggest pirated game of all time.

i thought that HL2 would have been more pirated because of the system that they made for it with the download versions on the net.

The release dates suck ass! We always get stuff after the USA and the UK! You're complaining, but we get everything like 6 months after the USA! Do you hear me complaining? Ok so I am :D

It makes sense to release them in their native language, but when it comes to stuff like american games not being released in england, it still does boggle the mind.

patience is a virtue

Yes, of course Japanese people should have to wait to play games until they've been translated into every other major language in the world. It makes absolutely no sense for people to get to play something first just because the game was originally written in their own language.

not every game is made in japan. rockstar north is based in northen engerland but do we get gta before everyone else. plus in other countrys the uk version of games are sold in shops before uk get them in there ports. most of these other countreys dont speak engerlish.

Did you just assume I was talking to you for some reason? That was aimed at BizarroSephiroth and was intended to point out the stupidity in what he said.

i started the thread? so yes.

And you think that every post in the thread is going to be meant for you? How egotistical.

Many companies also have to decide on releasing the games in other countries after observing the success of the initial release. And companies would go into a massive time/money deficit if they attempted to make world-wide releases for every single game. Think where Final Fantasy would be in that situation.

Not a pretty prospect.

Example, we wouldn't be posting in "Final Fantasy Shrine"
