What the hell have they done to C&C? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/anime_cry.gif) I allready hated EA since a few years, but now i just dont have the words to describe what i feel. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Well, they are the shittiest video game company ever existed and they did killed last playable C&C game because of internal conflicts, so what did you expect? Making mobile game out of it is very logical step for them.

so what did you expect?

That they just let it rest in peace after raping, mutilate, torturering, burning, killing it and film all of that. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It just doesnt deserve what they did to it. The first part was uncles first PC Game he did own himself so this is really personal for me and i really hope the whole management floor of EA dies as slowly and painfull as humanly even possible.

If it's profitable - no matter how despicable it will flourish (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Let us be honest, all those kids that play mobile games, they have never heard of C&C so the name means nothing to them. People like me who do know C&C cant forgive them what they did now. So, who the hell is even suppose to buy this shit? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) You could make it as part of a revival of the series, by start with this mobile bullshit and announce an upcomming new C&C with single player campaign, base building, stupid harvesters and all the other stuff we did like about the whole thing. Yeah, they would still hate them, i would hate them, but most people would be looking at this new C&C and just hope for the best, against our better judgment of course. But no, of course not. Idiots.

Simple & addictive enough for bored "new adults" + abusing existing franchises/fanbase is always effective because easy developing/marketing. And what is the worst thing that can happen? Sales "below expectations"? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Corporations always play safe, so RTS is out of the question. Eat the new lifeless MMO* shooter with GRAPHICS™ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I just did remember when they created mobas and now those how are they called? Battle royale? They couldnt even get a new name for that. I mean the movie is from 2000 iirc. And afaik the movie is based on a book that has to be even older. But yeah, sure, lets pretend we invented something completly new. Even if i could swear it is the same bullshit that was called Last Man standing back in the days all those years ago. I just cant stand all this mmo bullshit. When i play a game, i want a satisfying single player experience, ether by story, setup, gamemechanics or challenge. I dont even care about grafic that much, just dont give me eye-cancer and we are cool. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) And no i dont even actually need all of those in a game. As long as at least one of them catches me and the others dont want to brainfuck me we are also cool. So it is actually quite easy to make a game i would like. And still, atm there are only four games at all, i am waiting for. And two of them are created buy a single person each.

Nothing to do with a book or a film, just a gamemode, that, yes, existed before. Its just previousely it was a part of bigger games as a multiplayer mode (just like ctf, deathmatch, zombiemod, etc, etc....) and now its standalone thing, sure, better executed, but still a bare minimum to be called a whole game imo. But hey, its way cheaper to make for the same revenue, and people are enjoying these, so developers can get away with that.
Making a good game is hard. Story/world/character developement is pretty tricky, so going for old francises is preferred. Making up new game mechanics that work is insanely hard, so its safer to go for something that we know works. If you need actual improvement over other games: graphics/engine is something that always works: you can spend resources and get guaranteed improvement. And singleplayer oriented game? Lol, why would they go for it? Expenses to make one are huuge (unless you do copy paste outpost liberating junk, but even those can only go so far, which is why they get bigger but less frequent). So you end up with obligatory multiplayer, microtransactions, lootboxes and other shit, that gets money over time, and at that point you might as well ditch singleplayer, since it wastes most of budget for less monetisation potential, or at least keep singleplayer budget at minimum. Who's to blame? Companies do what they do the best: maximizing profit. And we as consumers keep buying trash. Sure there probably are smaller developers who make good story driven games, but they still don't sell as much: what a surprise: we keep sayng how single player is great and graphics don't matter, but keep mostly buying games with cutting edge graphics, prefering better polished games to ones with better story, going for huge open world ones over smaller linear stories. And if you still not convinced just remember when valve tried pull off paid mods thing, plebs rose and demanded free bread and circuses mods, because they've always been free, so much for small developer/modder support. Sure, there are game dev platforms now, and thats probably our last hope for good single player games. That and console exclusives.
PS last man standing is quite different to battle royale btw

Oh boy, if i just were someone who knows how a story does work, how i could create a world, or develop a character. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Nah, its better that i have absolutly no idea about those things. Just imagen how peeved i otherwise would be if i had to read this sentence from someone i dont even know. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

K then, i won't argue. Don't mind previous post.

So the sardonicism was recognizable? Well at least something that worked today.

Distinguish passionate developers from professionals™.

That's not even the biggest difference. The biggest is "developping is your passion, so why should we be paying you?"
And then you get passionate developpers who make shit anyway.

I wonder how long it'll be until we get softwares able to tailor-make vidya.
Hopefully in a long time, it would not bode well for productivity.
Then again, such software would probably be just asking for the Omnissiah to make it, so productivity would probably not be a meatbag affair anymore.

I mean, human affair.

Not sure if people who think that way are even functional as humans. Making games takes time, thus, comes the expenses. Sitting in front of a computer hourly for weeks without thinking about revenue is dumb.
I forgot, i play hentaiverse...

I'm watching Bethesda's presentation, reminded me of this

what were they thinking, the audience members start like yeah! but afterwards the audience is dead silent
such a happy song

I get it that it's the censored part of that episode when Dashie told Pinkie Pinkamena Diane she doesn't like cakes?

I watched news on the TV about the meeting of Trump and Kim in S'pore. Then my battle started off with "President Donald Trump" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) but i never saw "kim jong-un", maybe the level is not as high as "president donald trump".... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Yeah, and both did agree to denucularization whole korea. Just no one did notice that jabba was just talking about this episode of the simpsons. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)
