Gaming really is in sorry shape. Hard to believe 5 years ago 'Reach' was a new game and a labor of love - and while shovelware was a problem big releases were pretty sure bets. Now pretty much everything is a cashgrab and I've lost my appetite for shooters. I should check out Elite at some point.

This thread just keeps delivering! Speaking of delivering, HBS delivered their beard-off that was part of their KS promises in a match that lasted about 3-4 hours, they actually combined it with a stream that has currently raised over 40 000+ dollars for charity and is still currently going on. Pretty neat, some companies make cool things happen.

McDowell posted:Gaming really is in sorry shape. AAA is in a deep rut these days, but man if your high point for passion and creativity was Halo Reach than you have some crazy myopia going on. I don't know how anyone can look at the rise of all the completely amazing indie stuff we've seen in the last few years and say that. The stuff that relatively tiny teams or even one person devs can do these days is bonkers. Sure it's not as *big* as AAA, but they're every big as fun, or deep, or smart, or interesting. Just look beyond the games that can be summed up as "yet another open world action shooter game with a big map filled with activity icons" and you'll find a world of great stuff.

yeah gaming as a whole is going great. hell even some big publishers are taking whacky risks: look at alien isolation, or dark souls being as bonkers popular as they are. splatoon is weird as hell and popular as poo poo. video games are doing just fine. dont look at CIG and think it is representative of anything but the family roberts; its waste and unoriginality on an unprecedented level. alf_pogs fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Feb 28, 2016 |

Mendrian posted:Seriously. I know people in this thread joke about reddit tears. Mark my words: reddit will find a way to be smug about the game's cancelation slash mutation. Star Citizen was just too advanced for the world, man, and ignorant savages just can't let something beautiful be. If they are foolish enough to give goons credit for the downfall of SC that would be hilarious. A bunch of comedy forum posters brought down a 100+ million dollar company with gifs and bad photoshops? Noice.

Klyith posted:AAA is in a deep rut these days, but man if your high point for passion and creativity was Halo Reach than you have some crazy myopia going on. It's gone a full circle in a sense, from small teams to huge teams and budgets and now the small teams are getting more attention again. Not that they ever completely vanished. Digital distribution has just made life so much easier. And those small teams, while limited by resources, enjoy more freedoms to experiment and try all sort of weird ideas and do 'niche' games. That's how a lot of classics were born back in the day too. And sometimes they go out to prove to publishers that there is in fact a market for this type of games. Not all experiments end up working out, and I bet there's plenty of cool ideas and games that never make it big because there's so much competition. There's plenty of enjoyable AAA titles too, but as we've seen.. craploads of money and huge talented teams are no guarantee of success either. The bigger the budget, the bigger the expectations.

Mirificus posted:Looks interesting. I'll read it when I get a chance. A lot of the research focuses on employer / employee relations-- but with CIG it obviously extends far outside the organization proper to encompass and govern the customer / organization relationship. I've joked about this as Beanie Babies for Grown Men but the parallels are deeper than that. Ty Warner was notorious for his micromanagement of beanie production ("No no no- that seam is the wrong pattern, STOP we're changing it!" / "This monkey isn't smaragdine, it's just greenish blue-- halt the job and fix this dye, NOW!" Of course, this produced constant "valuable" rarities which commanded high prices, which was a 'happy accident' that wasn't. We see soft parallels with CIG's former artificial scarcity tactics and Roberts micromanagement of trivial design details... A bit of a tangent there but my main point is that while Organizational Deviance isn't so rare, acute, systemic deviance (radiating from the top) is rather unusual. Rarer still is a company that manages to subsume even part of its customer base into that madness. So CIG is very worth study and will surely be the subject of more than a few doctoral theses one day...

This was Bungie's ultimate Halo so it has not only a sick campaign - but co-op, firefight, all the multiplayer options, forge, splitscreen - everything but the kitchen sink. Pretty much all of it was there at launch, too. Compare that to Destiny and all the other F2P arcade stuff. Microsoft could get $60 from me with a PC port of Reach - Chris is trying to get my cash with a Squadron 42 release.

coming from a hospitality background as a manager who's been in all aspects of running a hotel from the financial side to the operations side (which includes all customer facing departments) watching everything happen at cig is fuckin hilarious. from the way these people talk and act in front of a camera to their emails and forum posts, they would not last a month in a real job with real responsibilities. which is not surprising because none of these people (sandi, ben, lando) seem to have had real jobs in the past. cig management is a clusterfuck and will become the textbook example of how not to run a business, treat employees (which is one of the most important things about running a business that relys solely on revenue from customers) and manage workloads.

McDowell posted:Gaming really is in sorry shape. I wouldn't say its in sorry shape. It's arguably more diverse and offering more variety than ever. Indies been blowing up for some time now. As for shooters, that's part of growing up. They can be fun, but most are extremely shallow and twitch gaming only last so long. Elite is good, though boring at times. But totally worth checking out.
