I gotta say, I'm seriously considering that wub wub gun...
The price point ($99) is honestly pretty decent for something that comes with three physical collectibles. If you're into that sort of thing. I want to get that Johnny Gat statuette and paint it. |

Talk about the boy who cried wolf. By the time they get around to announcing the real game we will be so drained by their PR no one will care.
Or, perhaps people will be expecting another bullshit distraction instead of a real game, that we'll all be shocked when they finally do announce something.
Who knows? All I do know is that I'm royally pissed at Eidos Montreal for leaving the fans hanging for so long without so much as a word about a real successor to DXHR. I'm not saying it needs to be the next Madden with annual releases, or that they need to do Final Fantasy style where the game is announced 6 years before it comes out.
But throw us a bone. They either enjoy making their fanbase unhappy, or they are just blind to how people feel. Either scenario is really bad news, because they should want positive responses on their social media sites, not to be incinerated by flames. And they should want to stay connected with their fans in order to be able to do that.
Clearly there is a disconnect somewhere. |

This looks like I would enjoy it.
If it was the 90s and I was still in High school.
Part of getting older is being comfortable with who you are and able to enjoy the things you like regardless of what other people think.
I still enjoy watching older episodes of The Simpsons and my girlfriend will still pull out her Buffy DVDs once in awhile. It's ok to like something even if it isn't 'mature'.
Hah trust me. I'm the last person who gives any shits about what other people think about my choices of entertainment. I just haven't enjoyed South Park in a long time. It's really the same gags over and over with updated pop culture references. It gives it great longevity overall, but limited longevity with any one fan. After a while, we begin to actually notice the repetition.
This'll be those same gags I thought were so funny in high school with what I'm guessing will be a lot of meta references to gaming, and maybe RPG tropes.
I could be wrong, but I don't see myself enjoying this nearly as much as I would have fifteen years ago. |

| Just spitballing here: Why couldn't they just do a Deus Ex RPG or something if they wanted to do a mobile game? Something that would actually have the potential to be interesting, and could be played non-annoyingly on mobile platforms? |

Can't say I'm surprised.
I'm sad to say that I was surprised. I really thought Eidos Montreal had a bead on how to make a commercially successful Deus Ex game that is actually a Deus Ex game. They made some mistakes in DXHR, but nothing that ruined the enjoyability of the game for me. They were heading in the right direction.
Now they seem to have completely lost their minds. It's like all the money they made off DXHR gave them all terrible zyme habits and now they are laying in a gutter doing zyme and eating soy food just trying to shovel out a title to pay for their next fix. |

Wow.
What a fucking letdown. At least the April Fools joke was a joke, this is a worse game than the April Fools joke but it's actually for serious.
How the fuck do you get your god damn signals so crossed in so short a time period?
"HEY DXHR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! But instead of actually using that formula to make more good Deus Ex, let's just flush all that goodwill down the toilet."
Seriously. Every decision-maker at that studio deserves to be fired for not stopping this atrocity. They should literally be living on the street, and barred from ever going near an electronic device again. |

Why do almost all their "expansions" sound like nothing but glorified patches and general maintenance that you expect for your monthly fee in the first place?
Their expansions are relatively frequent, free, and it's a very player-driven game not served by a "shovel in more content and features" approach to game expansion. But at the same time, the changes are fairly significant and require a lot of forethought, so just rolling them into patches as they go wouldn't be smart.
Somewhere between constant balance patching and 2-year megaexpansions is best.
In other games, every 2 years they effectively hit the reset button on your progress. Nothing you did before matters for shit because only the new content is good. In EVE Online you could leave for 2 years, come back, and you're in basically the same place you left. Your ships are still good, your fittings are probably still good, and your trained skills are just as relevant as they were before.
EVE Online isn't exactly World of Panda Droppings in space, and it wouldn't really be served by a traditional expansion model.

Ah, I remember the days when a game was $50 and you got the whole thing.
*takes dentures out and puts them in a cup*
Remember the days before a standard $50 price? I remember paying more than $60 even back in the day, several times. I'd be willing to pay $60, 70, even $75 for PC games if they were quality and included ALL the content.
Unfortunately there are too many people willing to pay $50 and then buy $50 more of DLC. And then on the DLC, the retailers don't get a cut!
So, in short, the DLC model makes them like twice the money of a box-price-gets-you-everything model. I'd like them to do something else, but I'm not going to get TOO mad that they don't want to flush half their profits down the toilet. |

Yep. But we sort of did this to ourselves. We want lower/no box prices and no sub fees. When you think about it what the fuck are they supposed to do really? |

As far as I know the film doesn't have a title.
Given the timing, just before E3, it's more likely this is some kind of game announcement. But you never know with Eidos, it might be an off-Broadway interpretive dance work. |

Maybe it's because I remember a time before the Start button, but am I the only one who never really used it that much? Cascading dropdowns are an intuitive way to organize things, but they are designed to reflect PHYSICAL organizational techniques. Look in binder A, under divider B for Page 6 and there you go. Intuitive indeed, but slow as hell.
WinKey search is instantaneous access to whatever I need, and anything very commonly open or used should be pinned on the taskbar anyway.
Start button was a Grandma Tier feature. Great for people who don't know computers, but it's like wanting training wheels on your bicycle forever. |

Diablo 3 is definitely not a failure (at least in the financial sense) but I kind of hope it is the game that makes people start realizing that you can no longer buy a Blizzard game on name alone and expect a quality game.
Yep. I always found the idea of buying a game based on the company behind it pretty fucking stupid to begin with. First, even if we assume that a BLIZZARD sticker meant the same exact people made this game as made the last one, no one, no matter how talented, bats a thousand.
And that assumption is not even true. There is enormous churn in game development, even at some of the more successful studios that have never had to deal with studio closure or project transition layoffs. The level of talent in a studio that's been around a long time is going to fluctuate.
Every title should be judged individually. No one should go out and just slap a preorder down just because they liked the last game made by a studio.
With regards to Titan, it's hard to say what kind of major changes they might have had to make considering we didn't have any confirmed information about it to begin with. |
