...and as for what you want, there have been plenty pf updates prior to this that have done just that.
Right, fair enough, it's just that what i thought was: hey, good idea appealing to people who played IE games years ago, who are now grown ups and have disposable income and are looking for something that's not a retarded bethesda pseudo-rpg.
Which is why i shelled out WAY more money that i'd usually spend on a game.
When i see this kind of catering to the market of WOW kids, it just makes me think that maybe i got it all wrong.
I shelled out a lot of money too, for this, WL2, and Double Fine.
Josh does not like nor is he trying to make WoW. If you are concerned about the game I suggest, like I have always done, go to the forums to post. Be polite but constructive and most importantly, be vigilant.
It's like politics man, you have to be involved.
i respectfully disagree. while politics DOES involve all of us, i consider game making more like architecture, or the making of a painting, etc.
I am the "artist" (or game designer, or whatnot), and i have the expertise and knowledge and i know how to make stuff work. Your input can be interesting, sure, but i don't have to listen to your uninformed take on the matter: just because you think this is fun, it doesn't mean this is how i think it should be done.
WOW IS AWESOME MAKE ULTIMA ONLINE DEPENDENT ON GEAR TOO
And they did
and it's shit
just like WOW today (yes, i played it for a while, when it was vanilla and it was fun)
because they started catering to idiots
not casual gamers, i'm a casual myself and i get it, you want the game to be accessible by people who only have a few hours to play each week or month
but when you start catering to idiots who think that farming is fun, then you become like an architect who actually did what that guy with no knowledge of engeneering told him to do, and the house crumbled.
You're a game programmer. Your job is to create games, and make them good. Don't even read the bloody forums, do what you know to do. If it bombs, learn from your mistakes. Don't cater to retards, they're retards, send out the marketing weasels and they'll buy your game with their dad's credit card anyway. Because they're retards. Look at Fallout 3. People actually bought it. Look at Oblivion. It's factually impossible to make worst games than those. And they sold a lot. Because young people are stupid. I know, i was young myself once. And really stupid.
But then again, it's all opinions i guess so no point arguing over them...
