hence the youtube commentators who provide useful information are better than trying to figure things out on your own.
Doesn't matter to me, I'd rather become independently better rather than carrying the same traits of another guy. Of course, I can learn from the commentators and properly implement it, but doing it by myself is half the fun, and I think I do a relatively good job at it :P
"The effect of commentators and watching alot of matches, you recognize the play and mistakes on both sides."
Mostly through my own observation, granted, TB has pointed out several possible mistakes, especially when he was casting with Emperor, who helped a large deal as well.
Yea but IW and treyarch needed to make a good game to get money in their greedy ways and proceeded to make money out of DLCs,
This is where I disagree. The possible quality of games is VERY high, and CoD does not come close to it. It's a brainless adrenline rushing shooter which often brings in a lot of people who just want to relax and have fun.
Am I fine with that? People having fun? Of course.
But it hurts the game industry.
...
Homefront, anyone?
but profit out of it speaks a whole different story.
Many pages ago I tried expressing how sales do not equate to quality.
Frictional was dedicated to make a great game as much as they could, but if they were big, I don't think they would change much, maybe it would have differences related to money but not the game
The attitude in which the game was made could change, based on the money.
I am not going to delve into hypothetical situations on Frictional - they're a great developer. But WHY are top-developers so... corrupt? Wtf else can I say, really?
but I see why you wouldn't like the fact people need to buy the game early to get stuff you couldn't get in any other way.
And the point that people who bought it after didn't get everything prior to the actual release.
but not all games/DLCs are like that, but unfortunately same are.
No DLC's were like that before, which is why I don't see how the standard should have dropped.
Bad Company 2, those map packs are free, from what I understand (considering I have them).
Will it really effect the whole game if you don't preorder?
Realize it doesn't even need to be about the game at this point. I don't give a shaz about the gameplay, I give a shaz at what they're doing with whats in it.
It's not like you need to preorder, they are just throwing that out there, even though it is kind of stupid to get stuff only by preordering.
They're not throwing anything out, they're taking things away and putting it on a limited window of oppurtunity.
That is what's going on though, because it should be the content we buy at release given to us, not held back because we didn't preorder.
I cannot convince you, you cannot convince me; so let's put this behind us.
You say this directly after saying "
If I love the game and I will definitely buy it, why not preorder, get extra stuff,", it makes me think you don't understand what I actually mean :/
Modding is 95% fun in the game :P it's always something new and fun, and like you said, it needs to be in any game you can manage to shove it in. Bad move by blizzard in my opinion.
Especially in a game like Diablo 3 which I hear its prequel relied a great deal on modding for its longevity.
Something like back in the day infinity ward removed modding and dedicated servers for PC players for MW2, which was a great shock. A definiton of backstabbing.
The same way I think Blizz is backstabbing Diablo players, really :P
You never know, but highly unlikely.
I know I just ripped into WoW players a little, the ones on the forum, in any case but there have been very big mathematical and theoretical threads concerning balance or simple game issues in WoW.
Blizz was more interested in putting the
Red Shirt Guy into the game, it seemed.
Look at the Top Rated Comment concerning him being an NPC - that actually happened.
I see these days are spoiled little brats who trash every game and CoD seems to be their main game to buy, i don't know why.
Brainless, violent and easy.
By brainless I mean it isn't really something you need to focus on.
Whatever the reason, those "kids" don't understand or appreciate games and should never be categorized with "majority of people", since their understanding of games is very little.
It's an influence (and I think a bad one) on the game industry, though. Yeah, CoD is fun and maybe what your kid wants but it does poorly effect the industry. What can I say to "combat" this? I can only throw the suggestion that you try and convince him not to like it - which would be kind of pathetic, on some levels.
Unless you want to carry this point of discussion on we could make this part of the post about why exactly the kids are still allowed to play when using very bad language / attitudes etc?
Define "valid argument".
One I haven't reasonably gone against.
People mostly post here what they think of the game, not reasonable arguments and undenying facts that will prove as all wrong.
Which is why this opinion is open to discussion. :P
Not what you said. Miracles happen, even in games. when you die is game over, not before that. Well, sometimes thats the case.
If I know I've no way of getting out of it, say a big army in my base and no real alternative (expanding to another part of the map doesn't solve anything), then hell no, I'm not doing that :P
That puts you in an advantage, use it efficiently and wisely and you will win. Of course, advantage cannot replace tactics, so even if you have the upper hand, never lose your guard.
I don't keep in mind what level of play the enemy might be, but only what they could be, which of course is a very high standard. I don't leave anything in the off-chance that this guy doesn't scout.
It would be like 6-pooling against a Terran in Bronze League - a chance he walls up, a chance he doesn't.
See? You should listen to me more often ;D
lol :P
I'm Zerg now, by the way, Ling Baneling Muta is the strategy I usually go against Terran, although I'm thinking of going Infestor for its simple versatility against most units the Terran has to offer. :P
Average matches are approximately 25 minutes long, but I cannot stand to play 6 matches in a row -.-'.
I saw
Day[9] Daily 269 - How to get into Starcraft II today, so I felt motivated and had a few games. New to Platinum though and I was kind of "cheesed" twice in the few games I had.
I had 4 to 7 games, although one of them lasted 4 seconds long, the guy just exited lol :P
And it's still our choice to buy or not.
But the influence if this works can effect other game developers to do the same thing. It's the same industry, and in each industry, ideas are stolen - very clearly.
That Homefront video may elaborate on what I mean, to an extent.
I don't know, I gave you his account, go ask him yourself lol.
Right, Satan666, right?
Darn, forgot the price, alright, I'll go to his eBay account tomorrow and see if I can cut a deal.
Well, the first trailer was fail, fail, fail and fail imo, but they released a second trailer/survival trailer, this explains it all.
Jericho never ceases to amaze me :P
I've seen other parodies he's made, pretty awesome xD
