@bear_in_action In that case nvm, heh. I guess I can agree with that last statement. Never had a chance to work with any of the smaller studios, I'll take your word for it.
@Bear_in_Action If life was an even playing field for everyone I would agree with you. But people "pirating" things from each other didn't start with video games. Most of us know history thanks to the internet. You know how much money I spent on games growing up and even now. No. Some of those games were so awful too. Like battlefield 2, I can't even go prone. I wanted to strangle those guys for that game. 60 freaking dollars! Now diablo's coming and it's like man... What the freak! We have to make accounts to "play". You know how many games I bought that were just garbage! Look at the Wii for example bought the guns the motion plus, I ended up having to use those as controllers for the PC because of the crap selection of games. I tried to work for the industry tried EA, and Activision in doing so I got to see the working environment. I really don't see what the problem was with those places. You know Blizzard even has like a little museum right? Whatever dude, I guess you're just holier than the guys who emulate, mugen, and mod etc. Besides all the money makers just take from others look at facebook stolen, Microsoft stolen, look at William Ray Johnson stealing clips=billions of views. The United States stolen. I should so go rob a bank right now. Playing some video game some dudes made, a crime? It's a cycle people take, the more it happens the less crap you have to lose. Then guess what you do to recover when you have nothing left?
@bear_in_action Well I never pirated anything, but I downloaded and checked out a ton of stuff before I considered buying. I wasn't handed money in my life and love video games. It was like every time I played a good game I was sucked in to a imaginary world, that didn't suck. I'm just saying I didn't have a hereditary line of luxury but I was able to experience so many games you would barf. I don't regret it. Now I'm working on mind controlled wheelchairs with neurosky mindset (side project), glad I took the time to understand programming. Poor people deserve to play fun stuff too. Not just silver spooned kids.
GTFO, I work at a sweat shop with crap hours on call/ different fast food restaurants. I don't feel bad for you. I've been dying to get a job in that industry. I can see it now, air con, chicks asking me for my reports. Best of all a steady check. Get real this isn't an rpg a lot of us slave over crap we hate to do and we weren't given better options.
They should use the neurosky mindset brainwave analyzer to get a better read of what we like. I noticed sounds are a big part of it and legibility, claity in our objectives, and constantly feeling rewarded. Also a chance at showing off to others on occasion. No lag, No hacked servers, No stingy mmorpg that you have to pay for all the funnest things, Free customization, attractive visuals, try hard not to make enemies repetitive. Give the models a bunch of skins, pay more than one artist for more variety in looks. Sell models of characters we can use for cheap, make us pay for server space when it comes to adding our skins. Mature rating, GTA's world style. The physics of transformers war for cybertron. The mobility and air combos of marvel vs capcom in 3d though allowing us to air dash and continue air combo, including the tech blocking; Lock-on enemy button. The move list style of the WWE Smackdown games for customizing fight moves and grabs. Soul Caliber's weapon fighting. Modern Warfare's arsenal of weapons and laying down. Compatible with bluetooth devices, for custom controls. The reliability of a Blizzard server. The combo counter from tony hawk games. PVP 1 on 1, to 5 on 5, 1 on 5, etc; add gambling. Separate players in channels like on Vindictus, prison channels for high negative ratings guarded by high level players, jail break quests for Antagonists. Add Spiderman web roaming, flying. Make everything fast. Don't want to climb a ladder for 1 minute. Wall jumping.
Yeah Battlefield 2 was a waste of 60 dollars. Modern warfare 2, I played til it got hacked as hell. That's what these companies do to get you to play something else. Now i'm hooked on vindictus but begining to get bored waiting for continent of the 9th. then maybe diablo 3 but it just looks so much crappier than vindictus and continent of the 9th. I can't believe duke nukem was such garbage. They should have just remade the old game in hd and 3d ready, with more hoes.
I noticed everyone is on Nintendo's sack here. I personally am pissed that I spent so much money on wii peripherals that only suited 1 game rather than a series of games. For example when the wii motion plus came out with sports resort. I figured, red steel 2 already had nice controls and sports resort has nice uses for the control as well. Maybe nintendo is going to release some kind of soft core grand theft auto where you can get in cars fly planes etc. shoot arrows at people.. Well I just hope that theres some more games like skyward sword coming out that use all those peripherals I bought. If not I'm not getting suckered by nintendo ever again. I always believe they have a future behind their product then they come out with n64, virtual boy and other crap that I bought and regreted. I always thought they were going to use the balance board at least for games like time crisis. I though oh maybe you use it to run in games that are coming out or to jump or something.. I'm just saying why sell stuff that cost so much for only 1 game like that balance board, the motion plus was great why not make games for it.. Where's a game like star wars battle front 3 with motion plus with vehicle use and all that stuff. I know it can be done, multi player and everything. I liked the controls on black ops for the wii. The customization of the controllers on that game was awesome. The colors were a bit too camo though.
good luck waiting for ngp with japans trade all screwed up because of the tsunami. It's a no landing zone at the moment and wih israel not sharing info on how to contain the radiation, it looks like it's going to be a while before anything else comes out of that country for a while. I'm getting 3ds before prices skyrocket higher during this bad economy.
