Jaesun Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yes and he failed to tackle the most obvious problem - he's effectively being payed by self-selecting fan-base. I fail to see much difference in sacrificing your integrity for the sake of the fanboys rather than that of the publishers. Well yes, he specifically stated he HAS no integrity because there are no standards they are beholden to (just like ALL Gaming websites). As well as being far too ingrained with a Publisher (like his SONY Planetside series). They are NOT providing Journalism (providing objective and bias free information to the public). They are ALL PR arms of the Publishing industry, they are too ingrained into the publishing system. And him publicly stating that if you see him "glossing over" terrible gameplay because he is being actually paid by SONY for his Planetside piece, speak up about it. That at least is admirable. But to be honest, I never watched a single video of his until today. So I have NO idea about his past or such. I just also assumed he was yet another person doing PR for the Publishers. Just like all the rest of the gaming websites. Except for the Codex.

Humanoid Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 LucasArts haven't produced anything I've considered worth playing (or indeed, worth watching) in almost a decade, so I don't see how it could get worse.

Tale Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Also, Halo 4 reviews are dropping. IGN Games Radar Polygon Destructoid Giant Bomb Overwhelmingly positive. I was going to skip this one, but several of the reviews speak of the campaign as the best in the franchise. I've always found their campaigns to be remarkable with the usual caveat that I hate every flood level ever made, so that means something to me.

Morgoth Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Dreamfall was a horrible game, gameplay wise. I hope he goes back to the dialog-heavy point-and-click adventure style of the original TLJ. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tale Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Lucasarts was fairly supportive of it. Licensing it out to Telltale for Tales of Monkey Island and then doing updated versions of the first two. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

alanschu Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 By the same token, I wouldn't be surprised if LucasArts properties aren't really developed on at all.
