a mass murder simulator. looks like a developer who wants to gain some attention the nasty way. its like they are begging for governments to look at gaming with one hand on the censorship button. idiots.
@Kinguard73 @flipityflu why on earth should i 'better start caring' lol?
whether it was delayed or not means absolutely nothing to any of us. If the game doesn't work, or isn't what you hoped it would be, that's not the delays fault, that is the game itself, or your expectations. you will find this out after the game is released if you perform proper due diligence and research a game before purchase. as for those who pre-order...well, not a single tear of sympathy should be issued for them.
I couldn't care less about game delays. It comes out when it comes out. I care more about receiving a good, working game when it is released. I will not pre-order, as nothing can guarantee the product is a good working game, so I wait for reviews and general opinion.
I think those who get wonky because the game they want is delayed should look at their priorities. It's just not the end of the world, so maybe you should stop acting like it is.
I started home video games with a second gen console (Intellivision) before moving onto the C64 and Amiga. The way games have developed from those 4K cartridges to what we see today is like being a caveman seeing an airplane.
The thing is though, in the last several years, the cost of creating these games has dwindled the choices we have. The 'Big Developers' keep putting their money into the same types of games, and the same IP's. Its no wonder that words like 'repetitive' gets used. For this industry to move forward, we will pretty much have to depend on the indy developers to keep the industry fresh.
I think the problem of marketing has really caused alot of issue in the industry. With less AAA games, you get this over saturation of titles until the mere mention of it makes you want to pull your hair out. Destiny certainly seems to suffer from this. Part of the problem right now is that the new generation of consoles are desperate for that huge, water-cooler title, which hasn't come yet. Marketing tries to force this upon us, and even sites like this one (how many Destiny articles came out last week?) contribute to this. This kind of over-saturation just builds resentment.
if a company that reviews movies put up the finale of the movie, people would go nuts. why is it alright to do this to games? Even worse, why does the company that makes the game allow it to happen. Maybe more to the point, why do people who want to buy the game want to ruin by seeing the ending?
maybe the people who run this site should have watched one of their own employees shows that was made a couple of weeks ago. Danny complained about this very thing on The Point.
The easiest way to get around the steam psychology is to go into the sale with your own limits. I went into it with two games in mind, with a certain discount. Once the games reached that discount, purchase was made. $10 spent on two AAA games. much rejoicing.
