http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/11/the-future-according-to-randy-pitchford?a...

I know i'm double posting but seriously read this down to the Aliens part. Watch how Randy begins passing the buck by "crediting" people for their "good" work on Aliens.

I fucking hate him so badly. He's the kind of rapist that smiles while he does it and frames his best friend during the investigation.

I hope they are forced to release DLC packs just for people to laugh at them and not buy any of it. Not that Sega doesn't deserve it but god damn how do you let someone do that with your money? "Well Randy you sound so excited and love Aliens so much i suppose we can extend the game a 4th time and give you another 10 million to hire a 6th studio to help you finish the game. We don't need to see the alpha just take our money!".

"No don't cancel the Aliens game the licensing cost so much money! It's smarter to just not work on it for 5 years then throw the mangled mess that we did create at Timegate and Nerve. As long as Borderlands 2 does good it won't even matter." is what they must have been thinking at Gearbox.

Sega is probably thinking "It would have been cheaper to cancel the game and eat the licensing fee instead of getting tricked into funding the entire Borderlands series.".

I can understand why Duke Nukem sucked. It was a very inexpensive license and they cranked it out in 9 months for a sweet cash grab. It should have been a discount title. But since they made Borderlands and hyped it enough they sold it for $60.

For this game i can't imagine what they actually did with all that Sega money over 6 years. It couldn't have gone into the Aliens game it had to have gone into Borderlands. It's the only thing Gearbox has done that doesn't look like a slightly fancy Unreal Tournament 3 mod.

I already have most of the maps in that L4D2 pack, and what I don't have, I can download later.

Now see, what I wanna know is, how can these developers get away with some of this shit, like cutting all of the eye-catching content from trailers and demos that they know the players want? How is that not false advertising? I mean, most people I know will play a demo or watch a series of trailers, and that's the selling point, which I'm sure it's that way for most people. Then they go in and pull all the good shit out of the game, essentially tricking everyone who buys the game.

When are you up for a game? Roadie is Wednesday. I have an assignment due tomorrow at midnight that i might be able to shift around by simply not waiting till the last second like i normally do. I'd like to get a TMA PC gaming thing going.

I have some other cool mods but they aren't exactly on steam so i'll have to sort that out later. They might not be compatible anymore and all that.

The developers will get away with it because they ripped off the publisher and the publisher will release the game regardless of weather or not its good. So it's both Sega and Gearboxes fault. They got away with it. But consumers will learn from it and they won't preorder the next Sega or Gearbox title.

This is the kind of shit that got Sega booted out of the console business to begin with anyways. Misery loves company and Gearbox has plenty to spread. Gearbox is like the new LJN fucking up Aliens and Duke Nukem. Hand em a franchise and watch them triple rape the franchise, the publisher, and the fans.

So what you're saying is.. These asswipes will pass the buck till it disappears, and we're just stupid consumers who took the risk of buying someone's product. Yeah, I get that and all, but damn. I figured there was SOME sort of recourse we could take.

I'm good.. Probably tomorrow. I'll keep Steam open, so just message me when we're good to go. I also need to get this mic situation figured out.

Alright if you are better for earlier games i'll get on in the afternoon. Otherwise i'm gonna try and knock that school work out so we can play late into the night. All my audio is rigged up but it would be nice to get some chat.

When i played with P7 the only mic sound i got from him was squealing interference and the sound of some kind of TV or stereo haha.

Nah man. It's all good. It's not like you tricked me. We all got fucked who bought Aliens. I'm sure if you knew, you would've told me. It's cool. Had fun with it for what it was.

The last time I felt like this about a game was RE5 so, it's not like I allow myself to get fucked alot by bad games. It's gonna happen sometimes. I just do my best to avoid it at all costs.

Just a down payment for Crysis 3 I guess huh? I can't belive I forgot about that. I need something besides BL2 before Gears drops next month so, I really don't think I could go wrong with that purchace.

I think it'd shake me to the core about my confidence in games if Crysis sucks. OMFG.....what a tragedy that'd be. Highly doubt that but.....my butthole is still sore from ACM.

Need to show me a bit more and give details. This just isnt enough.

MMOFPS? Raids? Instances? Giant worlds? More gameplay reveals please.

For me this game has got some serious things working against it that will prevent me from getting it...

1st - Its published by Activision
2nd - MMOFPS on LAST GEN consoles (we are moving into next one, and this game isnt for PCs) so this game has to be compelling if i am to ever get it... doubtful.

If they want this game to last ten years, make it on new console hardware. Not old.

Images along with the trailer look really nice, but apparently you have to always be online in order to play it. I thought Destiny wasn't supposed to be on last-gen consoles? Seems a bit counterproductive if so.

I'm going to try and get some games in tonight. But it'll probably be later like 10pm or midnight central time. Possibly earlier this school work looks pretty easy.

Crysis 3 is a safe buy. Mainly because they have been showing it off so much. If there were something seriously wrong with it people would have known a long time ago.

The reason ACM was such a sneak attack was because all the footage was scripted using DX 11 shit that wasn't included in the final game. Then they put a review embargo on the game preventing trusted sources from discussing the games.

With Crysis 3 they are pretty proud to show off the whole thing. So you can be sure that if it isn't as fun as they say it at least looks the same as what they showed you.

It looks good. Planetside 2 is a fantastic FPSMMO but the biggest problem it has is that the story is about as deep as Unreal Tournament 3. Also the character designs are really basic and almost look more suited for a game show then a serious war. It's more of an Arena Shooter MMO.

Destiny actually looks a lot like Firefall. Which is essentially a Borderlands MMO. Which is basically Planetside with monsters to fight instead of just PVP. Firefall is pretty fun but it's not well designed enough to hook me in. So hopefully Destiny is like a well designed version of it.

It will be interesting to see how much of an MMO it actually is. Because in that little beta footage they never had more then 8 characters on the screen at once. I wonder how much graphical power they are going to sacrifice in order to stuff 50 players on screen?

I'll admit that I was hoping for more of a reveal than this as far as solid details and gameplay being shown, but even with what I'm seeing so far I think this possibly just jumped up to being my most anticipated game. A rich new sci-fi universe rustles my jimmies.  

The fact that its published by Activision doesn't bother me at all. Bungie has enough credibility to do whatever they want and I'm sure Activision will let them do it. The deal seems to be 3 games over the span of 10 years. I'm not sure if that time frame has already begun or will start once the first game is released but either way that sounds like something that gives plenty of time to work on each game without raping and annualizing the shit out of it.

I'm am a little worried about the first one being a cross-gen game but I would have to imagine that the 360/PS3 version will be watered down in comparison. I've never been interested in any MMO ever so I'm glad that Bungie is making what looks to be the MMO I've always wanted and I have no doubts they will deliver something amazing either way.

Also I don't think they necessarily mean they want this particular game to last ten years, just this new franchise. They already have books and I'm sure other media coming out around it. Personally, I'm thinking this is going to be the next Halo or Mass Effect. I just have a good feeling about this. If you can't trust Bungie to make a great game then who can you trust?

I wouldn't really expect more then a couple of genres divided into an MMO and polished up a bit. The hardware limitations alone mean it can only be so massive.

Plus i don't really think Halo evolved much. The most they did for it was Forge and knocking off games with custom loadouts. They even outsourced Halo 4 maps to people who worked on Unreal Tournament and to be honest i can't really tell someone else made them since Halo 3 and UT2004 maps are almost identical in design.

My expectations are more around the level of Bungie putting a massive shooter on a console that doesn't fail like MAG. But with AI shit to fight so it doesn't frustrate the average gamer like Arena Shooters do. Just a mix of Halo campaign and Versus with extra players and a monthly fee.

It shouldn't be hard to make it seem massive though. Most games this generation have just been 8 or 16 players. People were blown away by 64 players in Battlefield but that shit has been around for a decade. All they need is 64 players in an actually well designed map and it'll blow peoples minds.

I'll be happy if it just turns out to be as good Mass Effect but with more exploration of particular planets and areas and more interesting space travel with the possibility of ship combat. It seems like maybe they are going for something along those lines but maybe without all the dialogue decisions. They seem to have a lot of races and factions so there could be a cool lore much like Mass Effect which I consider the most interesting universe of the past generation. I have a feeling that this series might not become as bad ass as it probably wants to be until the second game when its only on next gen platforms. There is no way the 360/PS3 version don't hold the MMO aspects back but who knows.
