Harsupy Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Excuse my grammar, but english is my second language, and its hard for me to put my thoughts down as writing. I may not be an executive but i do know that you do not alienate your core customer base which happens to be pc gamers especially for a game like DS. THe developers basically created Dungeon Siege for the Xbox console, when your entire fanbase is on the PC. Second, you dont' fix whats not broken. Dungeon siege fans just wanted the same game, with updated graphics and new quests. What the developers did was take a proven franchise and shat on it, and expect it too sell millions on copies. And when that doesn't happen they blame it on piracy. I wouldn't be surprised if Dungeon Siege doesn't sell too well, and we can expect to see more layoff at Obisidian. My prayers are with all the developers who are going get fired soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metamag Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 My prayers are with all the developers who are going get fired soon. You mean your wishful thinking since god doesn't exist and praying has been proven time and time again to do nothing, not to mention to be theologically incoherent and nonsensical.

Gorth Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Sounds a bit like disgruntled Jagged Alliance fans, X-Com fans, Fallout fans, Thief fans, Master of Orion fans, etc. There may not be many of them, but they all remember the good old days when they were legion “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowScythe Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 It's not your type of game so Obsidian should suffer more layoffs? Talk about entitlement issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeMOTB2pls Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 A more likely scenario is that DS3 will be a success on consoles and Obsidian will proceed to develop only console RPG-lites from now on. Goodbye MOTB2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorophx Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised to see more layoffs at Obsidian over DS3 wishful. thinking. you have no idea how games are developed, please go cry somewhere else Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
