Should Obsidians new game not suck?

That's a pretty silly question. Please stop spamming the boards Karzak. :angry:

It isn't spam, please don't make assumptions.

I voted no. Please make a sucky game so it would be a waste of your talents, money and our time and money. :rolleyes:

 

Don't see the point of the poll.

Makeing a sucky game usually = giving in to publishers pressures.

 

Should I explain it deeper to you?

Well, Karzak, all that your initial poll on this is

 

"Should it not suck? Yes or No or Uncertain"

 

Nothing about not giving into publisher's pressures or avoiding common pitfalls. There are lots of other reasons the game could suck as well.

All the reasons that the game could suck are pretty much up to Obsidian, right? Are you saying that they are powerless to choose if the game sucks or not?

Not really, critical acclaime and/or sales over costs. Pretty objective

That people want Obsidian to crash and burn. Probably as revenge for lionheart.

I think I may have mentioned this before. Most employees at Obsidian had no involvement in Lionheart and the ones that did the involvement was light at most. Reflexive made their own choices in the game as to how to make it.

Then they would want Reflexive and BIS to fail since Obsidian, as a company, had nothing to do with Lionheart.

LOL, only if you seperate the people from the companies, right?

 

But I'm sure there could be other reasons why people would want Obs to put out sucky games, maybe some of the people who voted for sucky games would explain their votes?

Most of the employees at Obsidian had nothing to do with Lionheart either. Go take a look at MobyGames. For designers, I think only Avellone was involved. For art, Brian Menze was involved. What involvement did they have? Can't say but it was probably light.

Care to list the ones that did, and their positions in both companies?

Why not list the BIS guy who is the Obs guy who is very highly placed?

Again, you did not exactly explain what the reason is behind your poll, Karzak.

Making paranoid-like assumptions why they could deliver a sucky game and why they should fail or not is NOT in your's or mine hands, nor is it really appropriate to make assumptions why someone would want to crush OE. Just let them do their game and you'll see when it's done.

I have no idea who you are talking about. :blink:

 

Okay Feargus and Chris Parker were involved as well but Feargus's involvement was probably slight and they left before the game shipped as well.

 

Hmm... So three of Obsidian's founders were involved in some form with Lionheart. Still the majority of the blame should go on Reflexive and perhaps on Interplay management for releasing it.

You mean stop giving feedback to them?

 

Have you missed the entire point of these forums?
