If all devs cared about some whiny gamers(not the case of Fez) think about them, no games would be developed these days. Oh wait, that wouldn't be such a bad thing (bioware, ea, bubysoft)...

While negative/trolol feedback can hurt your "feelings" its common sense that even if you develop a "good" game, 50% or more of the players might not like it, which is fine. Unless Doritos...

Most devs should take feedback or trolls as it is, and take the best of in consideration, while aiming to make the best game they can. Of course many have no idea how internet works, and they respond to every troll or non gamer, and get butthurt. There is absolutely no reason to reply to trolls or out of the context feedback. Its not productive... Of course in the case of Fez or others, the Devs are completely insane.

Meanwhile everyone is crying about people being punished for the things they say online. :hearnoevil:

Don't confuse a bad joke, having an unpopular opinion or an argument with just outright insulting/threatening to murder someone, especially your goddamn business partners.

I actually felt bad for Raymond during the big drama when the first AssCreed was being promoted, since it really wasn't her fault that the company decided to use her in so much of the marketing material to give the game a 'pretty face', and she didn't really do or say anything incredibly stupid that justified the shit she got. It was probably good for her career that after that Ubisoft kept her out of the spotlight, and just let her do her job of producing games, which she seems pretty competent at (iirc most of the games she's worked on were shipped on-time and not overbudget).

Most of the people who get a ton of shit flung at them in the game business at least did something begging for it, but in this case it really was completely undeserved harassment.

I agree 100%, though I still masturbated to that comic because it was pretty hot in all honesty
You're a good guy ed, don't let anybody tell you different.

This is what happens when you try to create a "fan community" for a casual game.

Angry Birds Fanon Wiki

angrybirdsfanonlogo.jpg

Are you concerned that the Angry Birds franchise is growing creatively stagnant? Fear not, because the folks at Angry Birds Fanon Wiki are cranking out fresh takes on Our Favorite Flock. Somehow the wiki has amassed more than 5,000 articles and 7,000 images, most of which seem to be horrible MS Paint fanart of new characters. Among them are a bird version of the Internet Explorer logo; Rainbow Bird (not to be confused with this rogue "Rainbow Bird" from the comments section); and Mega Giant Bird, who's the largest bird in the Angry Birds fanon so please stop trying to add even bigger birds, guys. Stuck for an idea? Just invert some colors and voila, instant character!

Wiki editors have also crafted some really intense backstories for existing characters. Ever stopped to consider that maybe the birds' main adversary King Pig is actually an immortal, mutated version of "Fanboy" from the Nickelodeon cartoon Fanboy and Chum-Chum who was tricked into causing the apocalypse by an evil crown? Really adds some pathos to the egg-stealing thing, doesn't it?

angrybirdsfanonfritobird.jpg

Then there are epic fan games like Angry Birds Fritos, which features an Angry Bird made out of Fritos, "one of the best chips in the world." Its creator included a lengthy "Updates" section that details the fictional version history of the game ("November 26, 2013: App crashes on 1st, 2nd and 3rd iPhone/iPod generations and some Androids are fixed.)" and a list of possible cheevos. You know, the important things. Meanwhile, here is the game's story in its entirety:

The Angry Birds and Bad Piggies were eating fritos. Then suddenly, they went into to frito world. The pigs steal the eggs because the King gave up on eating fritos, and the birds get angry.​

Unfortunately, the Angry Birds Fanon Wiki community is besieged by internal strife. A number of the wiki's veterans have grown so weary of newbie scum waltzing in like they own the place and messing up their precious wiki that they're planning to sling-shot themselves over to a new one:

Every admin needs to listen to this. Including Redbird07, Orangebird, Allan, and more. Since this wiki has gone to literal crap, I've been thinking maybe we could start a "reboot" wiki, similar to this wiki. It's been a good 2 years here, but I think we need a restart.​

You know, SpongeTechX is right: It's obviously an untenable situation when featured masterpieces like Our Home is Sinking! must share the same wikispace with complete and utter crap like "Triangle bird." Much like the angry birds and the green pigs, this is a rivalry that can never be reconciled.

I love that the author implies how much of a joke it is in the first sentence.

Interesting little fact – today (October 23rd) is the anniversary (well, pre-anniversary) of the Great War in the Fallout universe, which led to the gloriously fun post-apocalyptic landscape we’ve come to love. To celebrate this, Dorkly’s made it the subject of this week’s "Today in Nerd History":

Seriously, go play them.
If you are having trouble with 1 or 2, here's a tip, at first, you will have trouble shooting things even at point-blank range, but once you upgrade the weapon-skills you will actually be able to hit things, making the game more enjoyable.
Really, I hated the first games combat until I figured that out.

Thanks for the tip.

Like that tip for Doom "Shoot it until it die" against Cyberdemon.
Meanwhile...

Great news everybody, new GTA is announced!
Actually it's refreshed GTA: San Andreas in subHD 720p + achievenements.
The company promises that this isn't a mere change in how gamers can purchase the game. The graphics have been improved, supporting 720p resolution, improved draw distances, and as the achievement list leak already revealed, full achievement support.
In addition to the revealed list, there are an additional 11 secret achievements to unlock in San Andreas.
On Xbox360 only.
Sry for using same trick but suspense...

And guess who's back.
3D Realms is back. After a historic 22 years of kicking ass and not chewing gum, the legendary developer is returning with new talent, new games and a renewed passion for innovative experiences. So, to mark the relaunch of the official 3D Realms website and the release of the 3D Realms Anthology, we’re taking a brief look at the landmark achievements of a developer that went on to define a decade.

And it’s back to continue that success. Helmed by CEO Mike Nielsen and VP Frederik Schreiber, 3D Realms and its indie investment platform, 3D Realms Accelerate, will nurture new talent to add yet another dimension to an already-diverse and dynamic industry -- all with the help of industry veterans such as Scott Miller.


Plus - you can buy all their abandonwares masterpieces for $19 in one pack! Splendid!

Re: GTA:SA

I love that game, so any kind of technical modernisation that keeps the game's core mechanics while allowing better perfomance in modern rigs is welcomed.
I do hate achievements though, from a purely moral point of view. They are the work of communists the Devil.

:nocountryforshitposters:

Apogee released some awesome games, true, but this is too much.

Then they do the derpy thing: They create "box art" for their anthology, like so:

box_anthology_other.png


And yet they state:

This product is only available via download.

And then the "box" doesn't even include all of their games! It was Wolfenstein 3D, but not Spear of Destiny.

It has Keen 1-5, but not 6 or Keen Dreams.

While I say "Welcome back guys", I think I'll pass on the anthology.

Ja you can't get Keen 6 legally anywhere now. Course I still have my diskettes of it :smug:

(Keen dreams sucked anyway)
