Calling 'bullshot' on false game advertising

[DaMaJaDiZ]

yep, the gamer sued because he claimed the trailers showed footage that wasn't possible in the game. The trailers that never claimed to be actual gameplay footage. You know what they say when you assume stuff right? Then they got the game and everyone was angry. Like I said, this case will be thrown out and from now on thanks to stupid people we'll have "This footage does not represent actual gameplay" added to every video, trailer we get from this point forward. I can't wait until the eventual person sues one of the major studios like Disney or paramount because the put deleted scenes in the movie trailer.

I mean heck if you watch some trailers for boring movies they spice it up with loads of action scenes to make the movie look good, then you go see it and it's 2 hours of nothing but talking, come on man funk dat, lets sue.

I'm pretty sure if you watched any Pauly Shore movies you could sue for emotional distress as well as false advertising. Except Encino man.

You're still not getting it. Here's a little light reading.

what even more weirder is the fact that this is coming from someone with Defiance Central... i guess y'all really are not being paid by Trion after all.

Me? I tear Trion apart every time they deserve it.

OK so for me the HUGE issue is the removal of the episode missions. And the pursuits DONT COUNT.
We were supposed to have weekly missions that would have in show impact(the glowing crystal in Ep.1)
They yanked the missions with no info as to what was up and added the pursuits as a crappy substitute.

Except for that was never promised, and this is a fact. Go ahead, and try to find a developer stating that there would be episode missions for every episode, you will not find it, not even close.

Again, the main point isn't to file a lawsuit against Trion.
But to get what was shown to us as features and systems in the game, before we bought it.

If not, then the video game features advertising needs to stop or,
make your game downloadable 100% free.
This is why free downloadable games are so popular these days, because players can download them for free, play them for free, and decide for themselves IF they really like it, and then spend real money on those games.

Not the other way around.

plus anyone who bought Aliens: Colonial Marines were dumb in the first place after seeing the 1 hour gameplay video of it on ign weeks before it was released.

should you have spoken up pre launch instead of a month in? they cant have every little thing in the game or there would be no new content except dlc

I keep reading a lot of talk about "flood gates being opened" and setting a bad precedent with this kind of legal pursuit. This isn't anything new. These law suits have been around since before your grand parents were born. Class actions are presented everyday, and the vast majority are dismissed by professionals in the court of law. There are grounds and very well documented events for suits to be allowed to be proceed. It's up to those that know what are real infractions and what are not to clean up the mess.
And they've been doing this for damned near 200 years. There is absolutely no need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist over a question dealing with a completely separate set of circumstances.
