Online only?

[Fulgura Frango]

Hey, so just for clarification, you can't play this game offline?

If so, what's the reason for this (every other version can be played offline)?

Will Groove Coaster be always online too?

The World Economic Forum loves this guy.

I imagine when this guy goes to the cinema...instead of the ticket he claims to take the movie home, otherwise..."I don't own anything!!!"

Hasty Generalization argumentative fallacy.

X is true for A.
Therefore, X is true for B, C, D, E, etc.

I do not own the movie I just watched in the theater, therefore I do not own anything.

Obviously X is not true For S.I.Extreme (but he is convinced of it)

You just said that if I go to a theater to see a movie, I don't get to keep it, therefore I own nothing. It sounds absurd, I know, but that is the argument you made.

P.s. I recommend: keep your 7.80 euros close because in ten years the servers could close and you WILL OWN NOTHING!!! (ops... Hasty Generalization argumentative fallacy...hahaha...)

Yes if the Space Invaders servers are shut off, the game will no longer function and be rendered useless.

P.p.s. I saw that your favorite game is ELITE DANGEROUS (massive multiplayer ONLINE game) and come here to be a philosopher about OFFLINE games with Space Invaders Extreme??? but this is a case of... Improvised Philosopher's Fallacy!!!! hahaha...

It's true, I do like Elite Dangerous. And at some point the servers will go offline and that will be unfortunate. I assumed that risk when I decided to purchase the game. You are comparing an MMO to an arcade game. An MMO needs to be online, an arcade game does not. I have Space Invaders Extreme on my PSP and no internet connection is required to play it.

The one who mentions the World Economic Forum is actually ALWAYS ONLINE!!! OTHER than offline...!!!!

How often my computer is online has no relevance to the subject. I guess you are suggesting that because my computer is always connected that means it will always be connected... And perhaps that the Taito servers will also always be connected until the end of time? I'm sure I could dig up an appropriate catchphrase for that kind of logic.

Fallacy from catchphrase, i.e. applied randomly to make it appear that one is the master of the subject.
By the way, he fell into his own fallacy:
X is true for Space Invaders Extreme (according to him), so it's true for B, C, D, E, etc.
This is called: Self-Filing from Shooting Fallacies
hahahaha

Obviously X is not true For S.I.Extreme (but he is convinced of it)

In fact, that's what I said:
you don't own the film from the cinema and instead of buying the ticket you ask to take it home. How would you like to do for Space Invaders Extreme for which you reported the famous sentence: "In the future, you will own nothing and you will be happy." (clear example of Hasty Generalization argumentative fallacy).
Compliments!!!

Looking forward to your next catchphrase!!!

(people who play Elite Dangerous a lot come here to philosophize about offline games...that's really enough)

That's the argument you came up with for Space Invaders Extreme

you took the risk, but you forgot to mention the World Economic Forum.
Really painful the distinction you make between arcade games and massive RPGs that ARE PERMITTED to always be online!!! You forgot the Forum!!! you left with high principles!!! When the game is online rpg do you abandon your high (actually useless) principles?

I'm suggesting that you play Elite Dangerous without worrying about what the World Economic Forum says, while with Space Invaders Extreme suddenly becomes important to you…
ah, already because it's an arcade!!! hahaha...

Maybe I am slow. Explain to me how I just made the argument that if I do not own Space Invaders Extreme, I own nothing.

MMO... Massively MULTIPLAYER Online game. That is an important distinction between Elite Dangerous and Space Invaders Extreme. SIE is not an MMO. It does not need to have a constant internet connection other than the parent company requiring it.

I am concerned about what the World Economic Forum says... They have nefarious designs for humanity. I do not see what playing Elite Dangerous has to do with the WEF. And Space Invaders the original arcade game and Space Invaders Extreme are not the same game. I suspect you are just d|cking with me by making such loose connections in an attempt to make some kind of argument.

I get it, you're aiming to make the discussion unreadable. After all, you have no alternatives.

Here's what you were looking for:

IN 2023 he doesn't buy this game because he's afraid that TAITO will EVAPORATE ANY MOMENT!!!
SBUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

WAKES UP!!!!
WE ARE IN 2023!!!
WAKES UP!!!!!!!!

But even if one day the servers were to close... I paid 7.80 euros for this game!!!
You could buy it on sale.
Oh yes, it's true... but what if the servers close in ten years??? It is true!!!!!!!!!
sbuahahahahahahahah
7,80 euros thrown to the wind!!!!!!
hahahahahahah.....

In the future, you will own nothing and you will be happy.

The rest of your answers I don't even comment because by now you have descended from your high principles and you are (by now) only making a distinction between online rpg and arcade

Yes I brought up the WEF marketing line because you made the argument that "It's the current year." If everyone makes that same argument, then the WEF's vision of the future will be very easy to achieve. I'm assuming you would be against the WEF's plan for humanity.

You are trying to trivialize the difference between an MMO and an arcade style game as if it is such a minor quibble of a detail that it should not even be part of an argument. I like Elite Dangerous and therefore I am a hypocrite because I feel I should perpetually own an arcade game if I purchase it.

[ToxorAxiom]

I can see why a game like World of Warcraft needs me to be online to play it.

But an old arcade game? Really?

[ZXDunny]

So it's been what, 6 years? And no change? Time for a refund and install a pirate copy then. My steam deck goes without network access most of the time, and this is inexcusable especially now.

6 years? That’s an insane amount of time to still be stressing about one damn game lmao.

[Prisoner416]

Just doing my annual check-in to see if the game is still online only.

Wait, how did you refund it after 6 years?

Still? lol.

Uh, good luck with that.
