1. Like ico said, guys to need to move on from the stone-age games like CS, quake.
2. Low upload speeds & costly internet. Once, i was so desperate to host an L4D2 server but ultimately, I couldn't move past the campaign mode due to lack of atleast 1mbps upload.
3. Pre-formed gangs. For example, people here hardly invite you to play with them even though I sent invites or requests to guys numerous times. That is a fact.
4. Lack of proper gaming PCs. People outside have this notion that many of the Indians don't own a decent gaming PC & I too agree with this.
1.Its not the no. of games that will boost the gaming industry or the new games that will do it as the case of India is concerned. There are already not many gamers out there because of lack of interest, ****ed up pcs and bad broadband connectivity with other issues such as availibilty. Sticking to old games is good coz it increases the crowd and company's interest in holding events. Secondly, Indians are cheap coz they never buy genuine games at all(Ask urself that first - If u buy it then u r a rich spoilt kid.). Why should companies show any interest on pirates.
2.Brother as compared to the world, India's internet is one of the cheapest second to pakistan. In USA a 1mbps broadband connection costs about $65. In india its only about $25. Like I said, Indians want it all cheap still complain about it. And do not forget we are a developing country.
3. Playing with friends only is a kind of every1s habit. Its more fun and nice to play with friends. So if u call it a gang like thugs......lol
4.True true. But who has the money to always upgrade the ****ing pc.
The point is....We have to be cheap because we are not rich like europeans or americans....Paisa bolta hai.
Peace~~~!
Yeah I got more to say.
I have steam for CS1.6. All my friends ask why did u buy it when we can play it for free online and on lan. Can i use urs cdkey. Blah blah as ****. Not a single one of them is poor.
I got a razer death adder with goliathus mouse mat. All of them asked....Why on earth would u buy a 15rs mouse pad for 800bugs. Why????????? R u ****ing insane?
Rest of my games are AOE and NFSMW wich r ofcourse aahum aahum and meant for online playing only.
Yeah and I am happy with India's gaming scenario right now. I dont want company's interest in india's pirate industry for ****ing rules to come up like FUP or ip detection of downloaders or many other laws that is already petitioned or filed for in US courts. That would really suck. It wouldn't be fun if u had to pay for PORN. LOL
Its happy to be really free in democracy.
Peace~~~!
