|
 |
Just curious. I never do that, since the net connection got better, there is no point in getting a castrated version. Besides, when I had RIPS (few years ago) I always had issues with their compatibility, installing and stuff. The last RIP I had was Fallout. No sounds, no death animations except one. No pleasure in playing it.
Still some people rip games and release them, it seems that some people also download?

download only 3 or 4 rips. That was with a bad conenctiom:
GTA 3
And some various strategy games. But apart from that, I never did and I am sorry to say, I turn my nose up at them these days.

Rips are great, and many of the games released today don't deserve an entire CD.
Rips are also more indicitive of the cracking scene - taking a virgin program and molesting it to resemble an experienced, efficient, high-priced hooker.
The CLONECD scene, on the other hand, just preserves the virginity. Where is the excitement in that?

I totally agree! theres very few games that are worth d/l so rips are great.. Its easy to unpack them.. grab the movie/music addons then bung loads on a dvd for later gaming..

Rips are probably more convenient for people with low bandwith, like 56k users.

Depends.. if its something I dont want and I only want to see what its like I download the rip (only if nothing is ripped (or nothing of any importance))
If its a game I want, its allways ISO.

Same here.
The whole point of rips was to make a more efficient package because people didn't have enough bandwidth to download the whole game. There is no point in doing this anymore, it might be more of an art, but it's completely useless nowadays...

For me rip is like demo.
Fast and easy way to check if full iso is worth to download.

Rips where fine back in the days I had a 56k connection, they are easier to share when you have limited ressources and of course they are the best of what any scene group can do as it require more skills than any other format. I used to collect everything for a good 2-3 years but I haven't downloaded a single rip for at least 3 years and I don'T think I will ever download one again in my life, unless a rip is releaased before an ISO and I'm dying to play the game!

Same here, downloads rips just for the coding, installers etc... There is usually some serious coding in them  impressive..... |
yes, if i first download the enter the matrix rip 99 mb
installed 1,2 gb or something like that !!!
think the game disigners / developers should archive all game like that !!
than we have hl2 with cs s all on 1 cd !!
or somethink would be cool ! |
