Making Ork Boyz free and needing 5 boyz to take down 1 Space Marine. I dunno but that sounds like they maybe understand the lore of 40k better than most attempts have in the past. With them being free which would make them the zerg playable race b…
How about promising nothing extra if the funding is over the original goal. The people who have "invested" already get whatever was promised in the tiers and I'd be willing to bet alot of any extra will get eaten by producing those extra rewards an…
I don't know. How about we turn the question around a bit and see what happens. Lets ask have MMO's really become easier or have we just been playing them for so long that we are better at playing them?
Probably a question that is impossible f…
Ok I haven't played the game but after reading the review and looking at the score and comparing it to other reviews/scores on the site I think you have swung way to far in the other direction from the usual positive outlook. The score of 1.whateve…
Yep nothing to do with age and everything to do with the black/white world view of alot of people these days. In other words if it doesn't completly conform to me it must be wrong and should therefore fail. It's in everything these days not just g…
I'm sorry you feel that way Mr Appleton.
While I agree that people calling your project a scam wasn't really warrented and for the most part those threads stuck scam in them to basicly attract attention I still don't think you will actually deliver…
The biggest reason I don't back these games is simple. Money is limited right now so I can't afford to throw money at other peoples dreams that have a good chance of not making it out the gate.
OP if you work in the development field you've missed your calling. They way you play with words and sumasault around sometimes calling it a scam them backtracking to say well ok maybe it's just someone who doesn't know any better you should of bee…
Nope because CCP have also just released another game called Dust 514 for the playstation. Granted they have sat on the WoD IP for a fair while but they are doing things no-one else has tried. Tied to that WoD i very different to what CCP have don…
Your getting old is the simple answer and your suffering from old-timers disease. Don't worry most of us who finished school over a decade or so ago have it.
It's the same with everything the stuff we did and remember from our late high school …
Titan has so much miss information and general smoke and mirrors that I'm beginning to think it's just a clever way of some Blizzard accountant/bookkeeper of keeping back some of Blizzards money from Activision/Virendi. It's like they are just stic…
This meh feeling your describng sounds like something more than just the game was overhyped. A couple of responces where someone admits they played the game intently for a while and now they just can't seem to log in anymore.
It reminds me of t…
It's a byproduct of the no item decay mechanic. It's basicly a way for the game to remove items from the market place. The other use is as an achievement trophy for doing something like finishing a dungeon I mean could you imagine the uproar from …
I personnaly don't think you can use x-fire to accuratly get sub numbers for an MMO. All you can get from it is trends. There are just to many variables to take into accout. All games are different in some way and tend to attract people who play …
Nope the problem is MMO's are in that weird place of almost being mainstream while also being still quite niche. We have WOW which is leading the way but it's getting pretty long in the tooth so while it still maintains some very impressive numbers…
Yes graphics matter not because stuff looks good but because if the graphics are done well it means the game runs better on my crap computer.
Asthetics now thats a different kettle of fish and what you actually mean when you talk about graphics …
I would say a mix of gamers and non gamers would be desirable at the higher executive positions of a game producing company. Yes you need people there who know about games and what sort of things gamers are looking for but you also need people ther…
Just thought I would say something about x-fire.
It tracks how many hours people play if they have it installed on their system. The data is collated and they put it together in pretty graph form so people can look at lines going in a general down…
I don't hate it. I just prefer not to participate these days.
It stems from alot of things but mostly it's the participants.
Back in the day if you got ganked you could let people know about it in a non whiney way and people would actually …
For me the payment model is really a non factor. There are good F2P games out there with reasonable in game shops that generally look to trade on the old adage money=time. There are also alot of bad F2P titles out there. Same goes for the subscri…
