False advertising, or just a typo?

False advertising, or just a typo? - 08/04/08 02:15

Hi, for some reason, on the "FAQ" forum here, there was no button to post a new message, so i'm going to post my message here.

A quote from the "Gamestudio Artwork, Tools and Services" page:

"100 Low-Poly Models for Gamestudio
Gamestudio model pack with 30 animated actors, 40 vehicles and aircraft, 20 weapons. Unit Price: USD 29.00"

If you add 30 + 40 + 20, do you get 100? No. You get 90 models. If this company is using false advertising, I think they should either lower the price of those "100" models, or possibly give eveyone their money back (at least half of it) if they actually fell in this trap of false advertising.

If this is not false advertising, i'm sorry for saying that. But then it must be a typo. Could someone here please fix that?

Here's the link to the page:

30+40+20= ummmm... ahhhh....*scratches head* ...100? laugh laugh Nice observation on your part.

Ok. Sorry but now I have to analyze your own math skills:

How do you figure that if each model pack has cheated 10% of the models that there should be a 50% or a "half of it" refund?

Where does the extra 40% come from? emotional pain and suffering? laugh (just kidding) eek

Now - it's put in Morbius - I want to say the models are not worth it's money anyway. They are very old and outdated, lowlowlowpoly, bad textured and if - bad animated.
You should think about buying such a package - without prooving it's content before.

If you would have clicked once more you would see what has happened to the rest of 10 models:
those seem to be crates, barrels, medi packs or other similar things.
Take a look:

Be glad they are just 29$ i've paid something like 99.- for them in the past if i'm not mistaken. Also 29usd is very low price for a royalty free pack of this size. Although I would not use these any of them in my projects.

The models look okay from far, but i'm not sure that they would look as good from close up in an FPS, RPG, or any combat game.

@D3D - Now I feel bad that you had to pay more than those models are worth. I mean, now that i've heard that some people don't want to use those models in their games, and that the models are way too low poly, and poorly textured, I don't think i'd recommend that model pack to anyone. Did you ever regret buying those models after paying almost $100 for them?

models are too old. They were good at a5 times i guess but for now they are ver very low poly to be used in a fps/tps/close viewing.
