Nordicus Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 How are the Dev's arrogant? They acknowledge Skyrim was a good game and they all played it. But they also mentioned its shortfalls. Criticism and wanting to make a good game is not arrogance. This is the type of interview we should be wanting and expecting. A problem with my choice of words. I don't generally like to cheat past censorship (can I turn it off in options?), but the word I really meant to use was "coc.ky". You do remember their (less than?) subtle jabs at Bioware during the various Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition interviews, right? Or their open distaste for publisher interference and control? Their PR and interviews have for a while had this air of "Not only will our game be better than yours, we also have far better business ethics" And I like that attitude. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 As long as they deliver a great game, they can show off or pound their chest all they want. They're looking to get attention because attention means more sales (usually). I see no problem with that.

I see what you mean, I agree I think its really commendable that a relatively small company like CPR has been able to create a fantasy franchise that rivals, for many people, the popularity of Elder Scrolls and games like Dragon Age. Its shows what commitment and believing in a vision can achieve in the very competitive market of fantasy RPG. 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gorth Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 A "bit" would be an understatement. I think I've heard "on hold" tunes on the phone that were less bland than that.

They're not a small company. They are friggin' publisher - soemthing BIO was/is not. CPR also was smart enough to piggy back on BIO by using their name to pimp Twitcher. I know I'd never would have known or cared or wasted my moolah on Twitcher 1 if it wasn't for BIO. And, they didn't create crap. They used someone else's franchise. You coem talk to me when they create their own DA or ME. Or RE, GTA, or D. Etc., etc. Or, hell, even my most hated franchise ES series. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Malcador Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 You bought a game because they used an engine made by Bioware ? Why has elegance found so little following?

Volourn Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 No, i heard of the game because of that. But, it looked like it was gonna be awesome and was looking forward to it.

But I will keep you updated about the game as I play it so you feel included in my RPG experience.

Slowtrain Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Oddly amused. Will it run on Ubuntu? 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.

Undecaf Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I hope CDPR does not trip in the (potential) bull**** with their hype and delivers a game that is actually entertaining, and - as a sandbox - doesn't fall in the ultimate repetitive boredom trap as Bethesda games. 2 Perkele, tiädäksää tuanoini!"It's easier to tolerate idiots if you do not consider them as stupid people, but exceptionally gifted monkeys."
