Re: Death of THQ?
WoW is a special case, many people who play WoW only play WoW. Note that no other MMO has touched WoW's numbers, even big properties like star-wars can't get anywhere near close to it. WoW is a phenomenon unto itself, it's taken game developers many years to learn that hard lesson by the almost every struggling MMO going… -
Re: Death of THQ?
Probably closer to eight different games because a player could switch difficulties in the middle of a game. What do you do with a weapon that appears in the expert mode but the player is now playing in beginner mode, or vice versa? Adds to QA test time also. -
Re: Death of THQ?
The guys up in THQ Montreal feel the same way. None of those guys are planning on jumping ship anytime soon. ^_^ Hope things work out for you guys! -
Re: Death of THQ?
@JamesWild and Nitewalker: It's not either of you guys, it's one of the peeps that joined recently, it also doesn't help that their user-name is as Nerdy as it comes without jumping at light-speed. Seriously, you guys are mellow. @Gir: I'm trying man! But there is much one person can be a dick about! If only I could be a… -
Re: Death of THQ?
Yes but it's not an excuse for lazyness, you're basically saying "because I played a game that was developed poorly therefore we should all have one difficulty that is dumbed down to lowest common denominator" it's just stupid talk. If games as early as Doom could implement difficulties, there's no excuse for modern games.… -
Re: Death of THQ?
you cant really compare call of duty with anything though, it made over a billion dollars ($400 mil of which was in its first 24 hours) on its previous outing and is its own machine. Its marketed to the high heavens with adverts starring hollywood stars, its target audience is pretty much everyone with a HUUUUUGE fanbase… -
Re: Death of THQ?
Diablo 3 is one of the best selling games in the history :) , and i play it some hours per week, Talking bad about it is a nonsense. And btw i earn money with its RMAH. I don't think "Call of Duty sells because it's Call of Duty", because you just need to see the steam stadistics to see the current players playing the… -
Re: Death of THQ?
I'm not against them exploring new ways to advertise their games for "free". And I think the hole word of mouth is more suited for a younger audience. As I remember when I was a kid, me and my friend would always tell each other when we found a really good game or a really bad one so we knew what to get. I think it comes… -
Re: Death of THQ?
Your position Blazier is fine but you can't just generalise like that. I can talk bad about Diablo 3 if I want and it's unfortunate that you see my position as nonsense. I have nothing against Diablo 3 the game I have issues with Diablo 3 the system. Of course maybe I should have clarified that I care not at all for Diablo… -
Re: Death of THQ?
Diablo 3 is a bad example. Diablo 3 had HUGE PENT UP DEMAND, basically a starving audience of diablo 1 + 2 fans had accumulated over many years. Diablo 3 even if it was absolute garbage would still have sold a lot on name recognition alone. I compared a toony style first person shooter (borderlands) to another first person…
