Malcador Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Usually that is used when someone's lying to themselves or something.

Morgoth Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 50% of IO Interactive staff laid off; from now on only makes Hitman games Gotta keep growing. I mean, that unemployment statistic. Either way, my condolences to the affected. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 50% of IO Interactive staff laid off; from now on only makes Hitman games Gotta keep growing. I mean, that unemployment statistic. Either way, my condolences to the affected. Luckily the unemployed rate for that kind of talent is pretty low here. But I gotta say Absolution was a pretty bad title, so I hope the smaller team means that some of the stupid fluff gets cut too. Fortune favors the bald.

Malcador Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 To be honest, I wasn't really aware of much non-Hitman IO did.

Drowsy Emperor Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 They really did order a hit on themselves with that last Hitman game. ... Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Keyrock Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I sort of miss the days when I lived in blissful ignorance of the brutal and cutthroat nature of the business of game development. Like any other business, it's rough out there and it sucks to lose a job. Regardless of what fairy tales they tell us, the recession is far from over.

Drowsy Emperor Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Wooo C&C Meh. Yeah I used to love C&C games to death back in the day. Generals was the first one that that signaled the death of the series. I still pine for a sequel to Emperor of Dune, because I think there's a potential to make a better strategy game out of it.

Nepenthe Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Back in the day... Before theyvwere popular? "Objective truth", I like that. I'm going to start using those words if you don't mind? My favourite is "intellectually dishonest".If you want to call someone a liar, just say so. Occupational hazard More seriously, though, one of the things a courtroom lawyer learns really fast is that truth is subjective, to a great degree. Perceptions vary.

Humanoid Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 They really did order a hit on themselves with that last Hitman game. ... Sorry, I just couldn't resist. They may have ordered a professional hitman, but ended up with Kane and Lynch instead. A shame, that game was good as a punchline. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orogun01 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Would had been even better if you said that they were "Kaned & Lynched" 3 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Keyrock Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 If it's a 20 spot and as good as Mars: War Logs then I'll likely scoop it up. I wonder if this will also include hilariously awful low budget voice acting and dialogue?
