Mamoulian War

More than i do expect from Activision or EA

Seriously, you are starting to be even more annoying with your JRPG hate, than i am with my EA hate...

Zenimax acquired Rage publishing rights from EA Partners... http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26521/Z...ck_From_EAP.php

it's still more than most of the companies are willing to dedicate to their 2-3 month old games...

Bio seems to be doing alright so far. So was Origin and Bullfrog for 1st two - three years...

i think i should be happy now \o/

what am i reading, is that they want to make the game available to the biggest possible audience... i.e. ****tyfy the IP

ouch pretty steep price have to first get me new TV and PS3... i am seriously thinking tht this game might be the reason to fork out the money... but as usual the highest prices for stuff in Slovakia are always right before X-mas... so if i patiently wait until january i might save few hundred EUR...

@ Majek. Morgoth: Did you imported it, or it was released in EU aswell?

see i can post funny pictures aswell...

sorry next time i find article about something with much more complexity and depth, like MW2... oh nevermind...

Read the article first, then maybe you realize, how did you embarassed yourself just now

I would say this is the case... If they have same law as Germany, retailers can't sell unrated games or else they get fined by huge money... only option is to import the game then...

I bet the developers get same money as from retail boxes, and publishers gets all the extra money...

That's like asking "Would you prefer AIDS or a pony?" Not very good comparison, imo, because there are many people who would rather pick AIDS, just because, the thingies you usualy do while getting it (breeding yourself), are much more fun, than the things you do while getting the pony (breeding ponnies)...

no

yes

Did everyone just miss a Dr. Stranglove reference? Apparently so. Maybe one from Deuce Bigalow 2 would have had more success? I weep for teh Internets. Next time i use a reference from some original slovak show, and i will be wondering why no one did get it aswell, ok?

Both

I have just finnished Final Fantasy VI, still playing Dissidia and resubscribed in WoW for 1 more month... i bet i stop playing after the month again...

1) no one talked about EA in this one 2) MW2 is exception, not a standard for gaming industry... 3) industry might have record revenues, but you know revenue != profit... with biger and bigger budgets they need more and more revenue to turn in profit... that is the FAIL of the managment... all they do nowadays is to cry about piracy and second hand sales lowering their profits, and only thing which lowers it, is their opinnion that, the more they invest into development, the better it sells... at some point you hit a turning point, where you can't accumulate more profits despite bigger investments, that's basic economics... if you need to sell 2 million copies to turn in profit, you fail, only 1 in 100 games are able to achieve this, i realy wish sometimes there would be zero piracy, but yes, then they would find another scapegoat...

Maybe that's the reason why big corporate companies in the industry are bleeding money and are kicking people out of their work left and right...

Obsidian: Not much since Sega was paying the bills for it for the most part. Its the publishers dime you are spending not the developers generally. Bioware: Nothing since Bioware is now a arm of EA, it cost EA not Bioware. Dragon Age was in development for more than 5 years... so it costed them something for sure
