Masterfade Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 We probably won't be seeing much FO:NV info anytime soon. Brink is scheduled for Q1 2010 and Bethesda still forbids Splash Damage from releasing video footage. I'd suggest Beth's obsession with tightly controlling the flow of information is ripe for Freudian interpretations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos_hybrid Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I'd suggest Beth's obsession with tightly controlling the flow of information is ripe for Freudian interpretations. That's becuase if people new too much about their games before release, they wouldn't buy them. I kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syraxis Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Anyone remember what happened to HL2 a year before its release? Jus sayin. You mean the unintentional leak? The guy who did that was a :truepatriot:. That's what we need right about now. edit: I have a version of the leak burnt onto a DVD. They were never going to make the original 2003 deadline, it's such a hunk of ****. I'd suggest Beth's obsession with tightly controlling the flow of information is ripe for Freudian interpretations. That's becuase if people new too much about their games before release, they wouldn't buy them. I kid Ya know.... in all probability, that's actually pretty accurate.

Slowtrain Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 In a way though, the pimping that devs and publishers do kinda bites them on the butt. No games can ever be as good as they are hyped to be. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Hell Kitty Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) No games can ever be as good as they are hyped to be. Saying that no game can ever be as good as the hype claims is really no different to saying that no game can ever be as good as reviews claim. Whether or not a game is overhyped depends on how one feels about that game, and possibly how cynical one is regarding marketing and user feedback. In a way though, the pimping that devs and publishers do kinda bites them on the butt. Do you have an example of this? Demos? Haven't heard that word being associated with games in many a year. ? Not all games get demos, but that's always been the case, but they're not really that rare, either. Edited November 26, 2009 by Hell Kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Oner just nailed it. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Hell Kitty Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) This is where I ask slowtrain what constitutes being bitten in the butt, because people seemed to have interpreted it as it makes angry internet men even angrier. Peter Molyneux is without doubt the best and most extreme example, but other than getting himself a bad rep, how is he a problem? Those Fable games sell pretty well. And while certain folks may vomit all over themselves at anything Bethesda says, hype certainly hasn't done any harm to sales of the Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises.

Malcador Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Demos? Haven't heard that word being associated with games in many a year. Shame though, was nice to get a bit of a sense on how it'd play (and it served as a good hook for some games too) as opposed to relying on "professional" game reviewers or the users of IGN, Gamespot, etc. Stupid industry.

Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oner Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 By the way, I have a thought/idea/recommendation. Possibly already mentioned by someone, or you were doing it all along, but who knows. Anyway, I'm playing NWN 2, and reading the LP - with a relatively big lag. Somewhere it says that the ...hmm..what's it called.. umm, well, story feats (Blessing of Vaukeen and co.) were originally an idea to mark progress and give slight bonuses based on accomplishments. This unsurprisingly reminded me of Fallout's karmic perks. Those in turn reminded me of achievements. I've read complaints about DA's immersion breaking achievement pop-ups and the stupidity of FO 3 pop-ups, so my suggestion would be this: Instead of a big ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED, mark the achievements as karmic perks (complete with Vault Boy pic and funny description)! Blends in, makes sense, compact, full of WIN etc. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!
