It is a new Game with new gameplay. It seems that Seven Sorrows will be a mixture between Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Baldurs Gate and Diablo.
This Game looks very pretty and the Multiplayer part shall rise the fun. 4 Players can play at the same time like in Final Fantasy CC. Many new Charakters were made. New areas and levels were created.
You need many hours to see the complete game. This is one of the greates Multiplayer games. Nobody will have so much fun alone in front of the PC.

But unfortunately the game shall just be released on the Playstation2 and the Xbox. Every Gamecube owner is sad at the moment. This Genre is very rare on this console and Just-On-Plattform-owner will miss one of the greatest games.
But after some emails from fans of the gauntlet series there is a possibility that Gauntlet Seven Sorrows is going to be releasedon the Gamecube.

So I hope the whole Game Community will help to bring this game on the Gamecube.

If you use another Forum, please copy this text and the Petition and post it to another forum. We have to support the Gamecube.

I think that complaining to the manufacturers is a good idea. Even better get you and your pals to camp outside their headquarters - even the threat of it seems to get you noticed.

However petitions, especially online ones, are generally useless.

I heard this sentence tooooo much:
"online petitions are useless".

mortal kombat was realeased on the gamecube cause of a petition.There are many other examples.

This petition is just a minute long. Please sign it.
We will see if this petition helps.

Are there? Please list them.

The only way to REALLY get the ear of big corporations is to hit them where it hurts, in their annual profit figures.

What you NEED to do, is say, "If you stop supporting the GameCube now, I will not purchase your products on ANY platform." and MEAN it. I never buy products by Coca Cola and their subsidiaries, or Nestle and theirs - but that's about corporate human rights abuses. With computer games I've usually upgraded system long before the publishers lose interest.

But you won't. They'll dump GameCube, and you'll just buy a PS2 or a Revolution and buy the games on that platform. They have you by the b******s... and they know that they have...

They're not scared of your petition... after all, what have you got to back it up with?

The thing is, they won't consider dropping a platform while it is profitable... and once it's not profitable anymore, there simply aren't enough people to sign a petition, or threaten to boycott the company for them to care.

Plus! These decisions are taken way in advance... if they did change their minds and begin developing new GC games today, they wouldn't be ready for two years...

I don't buy from:

Future Publishing
Sony
Nokia
Microsoft (since 2 years ago)

Hurrah!



Why not?



Dude, you are welcome in my house, any time.

I can understand Coke, but why Nestle?

I believe it's do with this

Isn't that a bit extreme?

No-one has to buy Nestle's baby products. Surely most parent would understand the importance of breastfeeding and thus not purchase Nestle products? In developing countries, I would imagine that they would want to go for the cheaper option anyway!

This is just after a preliminary look, mind due, but it doesn't seem any more immoral to me than many other methods of marketing.

A concerted online effort to get paper-based petitions going, however, is worthwhile. Dreamcast Scene had success in bringing Border Down to the Dreamcast via a petition in 2003. Customs had success in charging me £11.52 extra for it, but we'll not go into that.

No, they don't. Because of this aggresive marketing, new mums in these countries really do believe that formula is much better than a mother's milk, to the point where they waste their limited cash on formula, only to make it up with contaminated water - the babies get dysentery, dehydrate and way too often, die. All because these people have been relentlessly marketed a product that is just not needed for people in there circumstances.

Let's face it, milk formula is primarily a product of today's non-stop lifestyle. That's fine for us, in our materialistic lives - multi-car families with mega-mortgages, Sky+, plasma tellys, iPods, gym subs, three consoles and a PC, swanky restaurant nights out, dressed Evisu, Diesel, Prada, blah, blah, must-have attitude - a dual income is needed to feed our addiction, and there's no time for a baby on the tit.

The only time this stuff is legitimately needed is when a mother can't feed her child herself due to illness or milk-production problems.

However, when and where mothers can spend the time to raise children and are able to lactate, mothers milk is the cheapest and best option (breast is best!). Aside from the nutritional balance being perfected over millions of years, mothers milk contains antibodies which aid a child's still-developing immune system to fend off disease; mum get a cold, develops antibodies, baby doesn't get a sniffle. Recent research also suggests that babies fed with breast milk for longer than six months may go on to have a greater than average intelligence. Plus, there's no need for all the paraphenalia that does with bottle feeding; bottles, teats, sterilisers and a bag to hold it all. There's also something about breast fed individuals being better kissers, but that hardly going to swing an argument...

Of course, there's the down side; sore, leaky nipples, mastitis, having to feed in public (which I think is fine, and I'll offer out anyone who disagrees).

It's clear the benefits are greater, and companies like Nestle are simple creating and marketing a false need for these products. F**king scumbags. Next they'll be selling milk in tablets, followed six months later with pre-made, easy-to-use sachets, then a limited-edition orange flavour, or one with l-caritarse-bumtamine for better digestion - just like the t**ts at the detergent/confection/yoghurt companies.

Coke - Murderers.
Nestle - Baby Murderers.

You'd think companies like this would not posper, but with a liar in No. 10 and a thief in the Whitehouse, how can they fail?

liar and thief, though correct, sound too lenient for these guys.
adding mass murderers or war criminals alongside paints a fuller picture.

It's worse than that, Nestle actually take the tried and tested drug-dealers approach of giving it free until they are hooked (or stop lactating)....

Scumbags.
