Korean gaming is a big time entertainment industry there. Did you know that good PC players in Korea get star status? I mean, they are treated like Hollywood stars, with endorsements and paychecks. Yes, they get paid! Much like superstar athletes we have here in America. They actually get paid to play a game. That is why they can spend a lot of their time planning strategy, customizing their characters, etc. And GW is NOT the only online game they are good at.

So there, now you know.

Don't believe me? Check this: http://www.gaming-age.com/cgi-bin/sp...ing1&pagenum=1

I can believe what you say but what does setting foot in Korea have to do with any of this? I haven't set foot in Washington DC lately and can still know what is going on there. I haven't set foot in France and could find out what is going on there. Someone could go to Korea without it having anything to do with videogames. Good overall point, but a bad way to start your point.

i can tell people are playing less lately just from my guild members, it used to be about 30 of the 50 were on at all times, lately its more like 5-10 of em

To noob whiners in this thread:
Yeah, sure, Koreans cheat, other groups suck and they win only by cheating. They call that cheat "skill and teamwork".

βlitzkrieg · Jun 23, 2005, 06:53 AM // 06:53

Yeah it is bloody hard to teams to get in now days.

I used to get in about everyday for a round or two, but I haven't been in in ages, and same groups are owning it over and over again.

Don't know how you'd fix that though

you are so dead freaken wrong there its funny, they are much more advacned in technology than us its crazy, and i know this because they are the first nation to get the PSP fully hooked up to the internet web browsing

βlitzkrieg · Jun 23, 2005, 07:08 AM // 07:08

Koreans don't cheat - there are no cheats as of yet.

Koreans are clever, and think more than the average snotty-nosed yank who moans and complains, and blames everything on other people. They are a much closer culture than western, and this helps them immensly when planning/playing.

So you know what goes on in Washington DC huh......

........sure you do, yeah go to CNN and read all the bias articals there or MSN or, WNBC, or CBS, or for the best biasness go to turn on the radio and listen to NPR aka nation public radio aka stronghold of the left aka mount everest of bias, and you Know what happens in France huh........i bet the politions in DC thought they did to until they found out about weapons deals in iraq......you know all Ishamael Sedai, all there is to be know and the guy you were critizing makes a better point than you ever will.

Aaaaagh · Jun 23, 2005, 07:15 AM // 07:15

I would have to think it is common for any game on release to experience a high burst...which can inevitably only be followed by some type of decline.

Am I noticing less players at late nights? Yes. Does this mean players are leaving? Sure, players are leaving, but newbs are buying too, the initial excitement has worn off and players simply arent dedicating all their free time to play.

If I had to guess, I would expect the numbers of players on at one time to drop further still, then stay pretty stable until an expansion, where there will be another burst of player numbers.

Keep in mind, Im a moron and this is all propaganda.

I hate to say it, no i REALLY HATE TO SAY THIS

, but Korean's are much smarter than us, and coming from a right wing nationalist, this really pains me to say this, btu just look at their school systems.

βlitzkrieg · Jun 23, 2005, 07:19 AM // 07:19

I don't think they're smarter, just use their brains more effectively, and and don't act like little morons at puberty.

hassoon · Jun 23, 2005, 09:44 AM // 09:44

Koreans per se are not smarter than us.They are much better educated,and much more focused.You won't likely see the korean PvP crowd screaming for instant gratification,IE no work gimme everything for nothing that will be the Amarican side.Also their technology broadband wise is far superior.

Can you back that up... ?

I'd say that Korea and Japan are way ahead both US and Europe as far as computer technology, network or cellphone (not that it matters...) are concerned. That's personnal experience speaking...

You need to travel a bit, maybe

Louis,

RTSFirebat · Jun 23, 2005, 10:34 AM // 10:34

Maybe this thread should be locked... seems to be giving a negtive image of the game and making people talk all kinds of rubbish.

Shamblemonkee · Jun 23, 2005, 11:41 AM // 11:41

I think some people are maybe getting confused between North and South Korea

Syncrosonix · Jun 23, 2005, 11:46 AM // 11:46

cool, if the idiots are dying out....does that mean i can finally start being apart of competent groups during co-op missions? i'm so sick and tired of people bailing once the shit hits the fan, their death penalty drops below -20%, impatient people dropping out simply because we're not moving at a pace they would like, or we're going a little too quick for their likings, arguing with fellow teammates who don't like one another from a pvp fight, claiming the other cheated or whatever, or we decide the bonus should be done some other time down the road.

hassoon · Jun 23, 2005, 12:10 PM // 12:10

No because it will be the idiots who stay while the more mature people leave.
