You have yet much to learn about real life
Don't try to lecture me about real life,
You have yet much to learn about real life
I say just wait a decade more and some indie is going to make a game much better than Morrowind ever was.
tis true tho. You just need to grow out of your naive idealism, but almost everything comes down to money.You have yet much to learn about real life
Don't try to lecture me about real life,
It's not about idealism, at one point in your life you might want to start thinking about something more than trying to survive to the next day, if you can't do that then that's your problem, lecturing others on not knowing what real life is like is hilarious after that.
Some people are just in love with money. Hence why I said: if money was no longer a factor in Todd Howard's life, if Todd Howard didn't care about making money anymore, would he still make games like Fallout 4 because he genuinely thinks they are the shit, or would he aim to make something deeper?
You can say you don't know the answer, that's fine. But loving money doesn't mean Todd automatically thinks "Fallout 4 is the best game ever made", he could also think "Fallout 4 is the best cash grab ever made". It's clear that as a money-making guy he loves making games that make money, but that doesn't tell us if he thinks they are actually awesome RPGs.
It sounds like a nightmare to work at Bethesda, who would subject themselves to such a soul-crushing environment?
"Make competently", thats a good joke!the only games they are able to make competently?
How would anyone know this shit? You guys read his life story or something?
If Bethesda was absolutely free from money, from the need to make money, if someone gave Todd millions of dollars and said "I don't care about this game making a profit, I care only about a proper RPG", do you think Todd would say "Alright, I'm going to make a good RPG for a change"?
Does Todd miss the days of Morrowind? Or is he perfectly happy making popamole garbage? I find it hard to believe that someone whose favorite RPG is an Ultima title would be okay with games like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
Discuss.
Why would game designers not want to play games? It's like a composer not wanting to listen to any other music or author not reading any other books. An artists who produces more than he consumes smells like an amateur.
Aspiring writers have jobs in the creative industry (those two words kinda sound like an oxymoron, entertainment industry would be closer to the truth)? So much so that they don't have time to read? Not to mention that being a good artist involves not only consuming other art, but analyzing it as well, it's impossible to be good and not have absorbed at least what the old masters have to teach us with their own examples. Shitty games explained - game designers don't play other games?
