Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

has doublefine actually successfully completed a game since they became crowdfunding's poster child?

the impression i get is that they only reason why they got away with their crowdfunding failures was because star citizen stole their limelight

darksiders 1 is better than 2

prototype is arguable but I think 2 lost something

prototype 2 added a way to deal with rocket dudes but lost running down the sidewalk with your shield out and accusing other people of being the prototype. not worth it imo

double fine is a company that makes cute creative games and should completely be allowed to do so, and their biggest problem seems to be the intensely stupid decision to operate a medium sized business in sf. not sure about trying to finance a aaa game through crowdfunding, though, it seems like psychonauts 2 would be really, really short on content which is a huge problem for df because content is what they do best

it's sales weren't high enough (even though it was early access and very light on their promised features) so they pulled the plug

just get startopia instead

everyone is overly nostalgic for Psychonauts and everything he did in the 90's

like the one true and good thing Bobby Kotick ever said:

quote:

"[Tim Schafer] comes out and says I'm a prick... I've never met him in my life – I've never had anything to do with him. I never had any involvement in the Vivendi project that they were doing, Brütal Legend, other than I was in one meeting where the guys looked at it and said, 'He's late, he's missed every milestone, he's overspent the budget and it doesn't seem like a good game. We're going to cancel it.'

"And do you know what? That seemed like a sensible thing to do. And it turns out, he was late, he missed every milestone, the game was not a particularly good game..."

a big part of the problem is in japan people have to be given fair compensation so you end up sinking so much more money into development and then once the game is out you basically can't fire anybody and layoffs between projects are also nearly unheard of and reflect badly on the company so you send employees to a boredom room and keep paying

nerd devotes entire life to project, posts constant updates online, huge company buys project and says "we like this project and think it's the future so we're spending billions on it," releases prototype for final consumer version, nerd continues posting constant updates online, company talks about future revenue from project in financial filings
