You are too kind... also now I feel a lot of pressure to say something epic....
I often get asked if I ever have stage fright. I always reply "No, I'm not afraid of the stage. It's the audience that scares me"
Yep, I failed to be epic

I dunno, I personally wasn't disappointed. This comment made me laugh. ^^

This might be off-topic, but I just watched The Postal Movie, I was expecting literally a live action South Park
I LOVED IT. It had that "Postal" feeling. What do you guys at RWS think about the movie? is there any chance for a reboot with a better director?
Comment has been collapsed.
All things considered, the movie didn't turn out that bad. I personally like the opening scene despite being a bit overly tasteless. As for a new one, UB has the movie rights, he attempted to make another, but that Kickstarter failed.

Well to be honest, he actually made a good game and he is a loss to the community. In the end I don't care what he said but what he did.

There's being a bit of a dick head Dev and there's being a Phil Fish. Circumstancially the former may be acceptable, the latter isn't
Comment has been collapsed.
Here I rechecked the Fish controverse. Here's a résumé :
“people telling me they’re going to pirate my game because they dont like me. gamers are the worst fucking people [sic].
Fish is passionate about what he does did.. (but)... his public character will always overshadow whatever he deigns to create
Marcus Beer called Fish (and to a lesser degree Braid developer and Fish’s Indie Game co-star Jonathan Blow) a “tosspot,” a “hipster,” a “wanker,” and a “fucking asshole” - (edit : because he refused to be interviewed)
Fish, in retaliation, tweeted that Beer is a “media leech,” a “middle-aged parasite,” an “inconsequential limey fuck,” and a “small commentator” who “ejaculate[s] vomit” and “sit[s] in judgement, masturbating.”
Edit : Fish told Beers to kill himself
Thats about it. Big whooping deal?
So where are the A holes? I can count three at lesat (part of gamers being one of them). Now the task is putting all of them in order of A- holeness. And then ask, what's the fuss about. My opion to you : "Don't blindly follow the shit hype, mate".
Comment has been collapsed.
Fish in response told Beers to kill himself which idls a significant point to miss out. He then had a prepubescent hiss fit and rage quit the Internet. There's also the part where he released a patch which wiped everyone's saves and then refused to issue another patch blaming Microsoft pricing policies even after they scrapped patch submission costs.
If someone can't handle the Internet they shouldn't be putting themselves out there. Sure people might have been harsh but he was giving at least as much as he was getting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep he's a jerk as a person. Too reactive for sure. But I still miss the developer. Passionate devs are so rare these days.
PS : It was a glaring omission, I should have pointed that out in the résumé.
My take : Beer > Fish > stupid gamers.

And WC2 and Starcraft and Blackthorne and Diablo and Rock n' Roll Racing...

The Warcraft series is overrated nowadays... The only reason it became successful is because of the ability to make great custom maps in WC3. Most people that say "WC1,WC2 were awesome" are people who never even played the game or watched gameplays on Youtube.
Diablo is a good game, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, but that's the reason it makes it one of my favourite games of all time. I haven't even tried previous installments, the only one I have played was WC3 for custom maps. I mean, who doesn't love a bit of vampirism in their lifes?
Comment has been collapsed.
A friend of mine used to play vampirism like crazy. He despised DotA and played that. lol I played it a few times but since I never owned the game, I never got to play it much. Everytime I was going to the internet cafe (ah sweet times...) I was only playing DotA, which was what made WC3 so famous, alongside with other custom maps. I still remember Pudge Wars and that AMAZING tower defense map that is still better than most dedicated tower defense games. Ah.. I should really buy WC3, but I doubt there are people still playing MP much, especially such old custom maps (not that I believe there are any newer ones, but oh well..).
But when it comes to the actual game, WC3 was heavily lacking. It wasn't a proper RTS game and just felt too weird. The campaigns were quite great, but that's as far as it goes, which is pretty much why we don't have a WC4 and we won't. I have to say, though, that WC1 and WC2's style was quite good for an RTS game, it just wasn't very good as people say. WC3 just looks too 3D-ish and kind of cartoonist, imo. Actually it's just like Empire Earth 3, but unlike EE, WC is a series backed up by a great MP experience in WC3 and, of course, WoW!

You'd be surprised, the community is very much alive still, lobbies for vampirism fill up quite fast usually. Yes, it's not as active as it was back in the day, but if you're willing to wait anywhere between 1-10 minutes for a game than yes. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't mind waiting for that long, so I might actually give it a try on an internet cafe and if I see I have the "mood" to play, I'll buy it! I just wish it was on Steam.

Other than dumbing down their games and introducing rather annoying pay models, hefty price tags and security, Blizzard are up there for me too. I loved the hell out of Diablo, Warcraft II and Starcraft. Warcraft III was great, Starcraft II was engaging but i was not as pleased. Diablo 2 was decent but I preferred Diablo. Haven't played Diablo 3 yet. Didn't like Hearthstone much. Heroes of the Storm was tidy.
Their games usually take longer to come out because they ensure quality, so finding bugs is very rare. The content, stories and gameplay are quality. The company with the most quality games in the genres that i love.

I was about to say Valve, but you are right... Blizzard gave me lots of fun with Diablo 1 and 2

Totally agreed. The W3 thing is overblown BS anyway. These guys make games with passion.

W3 is full off bugs currently on PC and runs like crap for some people....but give it a few months game will be fixed and work well for 90% of PC users and yes when it's working it's a fine game very well done.
Just wish they would launch games more finished then they do I mean every witcher game has been a mess at launch.

Open world games, especially of this scale are particularly difficult to test. The testers aren't always gamers and even in cases where they are the limited size of the group means they can only test so much. No matter how well you test your game the sheer number of people playing it means someone will always try something you didn't account for.
Every Bethesda release has the same issue yet personally I've only ever had a handful of minor bugs despite the thousands of hours I've spread across theor games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it's luck of the draw my copy of W3 broke with the 1.04 update and 1.05 and 1.06 didn't fix it so i started again after rolling back to 1.03 lol I had gotten about 100 hours game time in then i just started to CTD on fast travel from Skellige all the time nothing worked to fix so I waited for patches to fix it and they didn't.
I checked the crash logs and Red Engine is saying it's out of memeory when my RAM, CPU and GPU aren't even under load ...but it causes the game to crash all the same I just home 1.07 fixes it because 1.03 has some bugs but they aren't game breaking lol.
Fist 100+ hours were fine but yeah with big open world games it's luck of the draw for some I still like CDPR even if they are a little slow with fixes and the poor state of their games at launch but DRM free is always good.

I am fairly sure they're publishers only. But yeah, they publish some seriously nice stuff.

The Hitman games or Tomb Raider are not published only, since they bought Eidos since 2009, all Eidos games are true SquareEnix Games, and not only just published one, as all those studios are owned by Square.

i loved them until the fusion xD Great games like Terranigma, Illusion of Time ( in Spain, in the rest of the world Illusion of Gaia ), Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger , Kingdom Hearts ....

FromSoftware, Firaxis, and Bethesda. Also CCP, I really like the way they interact with the community.

My favourite is Bethesda just because of their epic RPG s that have over 100 game play hours per game. Who is your favourite game developer and why?
