  1. In Topic: New Trilby/DeFoe game?

    Posted 12 Aug 2008

    I'd like to see him start a new series of games. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Trilby games, but the story has pretty much come to an end. I mean, you could always do some branching stories... but those tend to not turn out so great. Storywise, that is.

    EDIT: Trilby: The Art of Theft was a fun game but the story wasn't nearly as strong as any of the DeFoe games or even 1213.

  2. In Topic: Blizzard rips off Yahtzee

    It was a reference to post count and as I said, no offence intended.

    Well, yeah, but you see. People DO, in fact, play a lot of shitty games, thinking they're great. Ergo, they are so masochistic (is this word right?) that they are able to shell out money to play something that they think is good, but in fact is incredibly terrible and possibly astoundingly overrated.


    This pretty much boils down to opinion. There are terrible games (Big Rigs) that are objectively awful, however, anything in the spectrum above boils down to your opinion (do you like the Genre? Of course you're not going to enjoy an MMORPG if you don't like RPGs at all). And though I know a lot of people that do not enjoy playing WoW at all, I personally enjoy it a lot, much like Diablo 2. It's not the best game in history, but I've got a lot of quality time from it.

    Did everybody? Of course not, and most of those with any brainmatter should have cancelled their accounts by now. The remainder are stupid enough to likely die from a fire in their kitchen.

    Never judge something on sales.

    Is Britney Spears any good?


    Indeed, you can't judge things solely on sales. There are wonderful games that don't sell well and shitty games that sell great. However, in WoW's case, it's 10 million active subscribers (trials and inactive accounts don't count). While this does include the first month of gametime you get when you buy the game, I'm willing to bet the vast majority of people would not willingly pay monthly fees for something they don't enjoy if it's easy to opt out.

    Just my two cents :>.

    (Also to the poster who said something about new people showing up when a thread derails, I've been lurking here for quite some time.)

    I dunno, it just looks like a random coincidence. Still, i wouldnt doubt that Blizzard did copy that technique off Yahtzee, cause they arr fallin lower and lower. Even with some asian fanbase of over quadrillion billion jazill- u get the picture, it seems that blizzard are procrastinating quite a lot with their new works i.e Diablo 3, Starcraft 2. Is it because they are running out of ideas or just annoying the shit out of people?


    Or because that's what they've always done. It takes a long time to make good games and Blizzard hasn't released a bad or even mediocre game in god-knows-how-long. They're absurdly picky with the quality of their games, there's a reason people still play StarCraft, Diablo II and WarCraft 3 many years after their releases, and wether you like it or not, 10 million subscribers does say a fair bit about WoW's quality.

    For example, Diablo 3 has gone through at least 3 total graphical style changes. Also, save for StarCraft the Western fanbase is bigger then the Asian one.

    Case in point: They're not procrastinating, they're taking the time the project needs to make sure it's good. If only every developer had the privilege of being able to do that, games like Alone in the Dark wouldn't have sucked balls.
