You didn't call me "skeptical," you said I have a bias. I don't. I'm skeptical of all these projects and I'm skeptical that it will keep the momentum it has. I believe people will get burnt and stop throwing money as quickly to projects prior to their launch. More importantly, I'm skeptical that all these developers need to use kickstarter and believe some taking advantage of fans generosity and interest.
But I don't have a bias against it. I don't want to see it burn and fail, I'm just not ready to celebrate a new way to fund things. I'm still skeptical that this may turn out to be a fad, like so many new business models that hit the internet. |

To you that's a bias.
To be fair Beamer you do have this habit of running to big publisher's defense on a regular basis. |

BTW, EA's shares close to 98's value of below $13. Just a friendly FYI. |

A properly good tycoon game would have been nice though. ONly Sim City.. and that's it? Where are the upcoming eco sims? Anno 2070 with it's retarded gameplay system that just recycles Anno 1404 is not doing it. Where are the Total War clones The Civilization clones? More Minecraft clones?
Where are the new submarine or ship sims? Spaceship sims? X Rebirth is still so far away.. but that is the ONLY interesting game in that genre.. holy crap. I feel like this "industry" shrunk seriously down lately.
Indy games take forever to develop sadly... |

This year's E3 was the perfect reflection of a broken industry on the verge of crashing, the publishers at least.
Hell, even Verison is jumping ship from Activision. The publishers are heading to oblivion and they're oblivious about it, in a way it's sad to see this happen. Then again, indies and different business models have proven that more and more devs don't really need a middle man taking a cut and adding tons of grief and shit. |

Yeah pretty much Watch Dogs and Dishonored for me in terms of big name stuff.
The only thing that has me apprehensive about Watch Dogs, is if Ubi uses the multi-player aspects of the game to force "always online", trying to spin it as not being DRM, but game design.
Then it will be a no-sale for me.
Yeah that is the one thing that came into my mind also when I read the PCgamer article about the E3 presentation and why was there 2 person on the stage with controllers and what was the last part of the demonstration all about.
I really hope this will be sort of a MP feature in the game and not going to be an always online requirement. I am not sure I'd like to play the game with real people around me in the game world all the time, like an MMO. Especially if they can interact with me and the things I do during missions.
Otherwise I am really looking forward to Watch Dogs. I liked what I've seen of the game so far and would like to see more because it look interesting. |

Sheesh. People are so easily hyped these days. You throw them a two minute cinematic clip that may well be entirely scripted and all of a sudden it's all the shit.
Thanks to you guys Watch Dogs is an overrated piece of shit already.

Meh, too bad about Neverwinter. Sounds like they really destroyed it.
I never had any hopes for this game. A. It's made by Cryptic, who are infamous for Star Trek Online and Champions Online, two astoundingly mediocre pay2win games based on what should have been awesome concepts, and B. Cryptic later being bought out by Perfect World International, publisher of several pay2win Asian grindfests. There was never any way for it to end well.
It actually started out right and played to Cryptic's strengths. PW has totally destroyed it though.
