Why did they put so much stock into uDraw? I could see the draw of that in I don't know, 1998, but unless it's a "full featured" tablet, people aren't going to care. That being said, it will be interesting to see how gamers take to the Wii U tablet controller.gigastar said:
DVS doesn't need help defending himself. That's why I haven't been defending him against comments. However, when I see inane comments along the line of "that's just you opinion, man!" it merits comment.flarty said:
Unless some other company named Volition put out the recent Red Factions and the last Saints Row, that's kind of invalid. Also, people whose jobs are contingent on actual performance? How awful that people might lose jobs after putting out lousy products.major_chaos said:
The keyword in my post was SUBJECTIVE just because you personally didn't like SR3 or DSII doesn't mean they were shit games, in fact a lot of what comes out of THQ has gotten decent reception from both players and critics, certainly neither were bad enough for anyone but the most jaded cynical assholes to actively celebrate their creators unemployment.Zachary Amaranth said:
Yes, and that was ridiculous, so I moved to a more pertinent point. Arguing subjectivity in someone's likes is redundant. Pointing it out is even worse.major_chaos said:
I liked Saints Row 3. I haven't played Darksiders 2. That doesn't change much. Hell, DVS could have LOVED one or both of those games....The point would remain.
Reception which hasn't translated into sales with the exception of Darksiders 2 and Red Faction. Let's face it, uDraw wasn't their only flop.
Has anyone actually celebrated it?
Zachary Amaranth said:
yea. and I think there were others, but I wasn't just referring to this thread, in general it seems like people can't see past their hate for certain games to realize that when a studio goes down lots of normal people are out of a job.ResonanceSD said:
I do agree that SR2 was quite good.JarinArenos said:
The original DoW series gave me some serious gamer arrousal.KoudelkaMorgan said:
How about just respecting people having different tastes in games than you? Some people don't like the over the top ridiculousness of that game, pointlessly beating old women with giant purple dildo swords is not entertaining for everyone.Treblaine said:

It's very buggy, for an example vehicles audibly have 200+ gears and as driving is such a core feature of the game it's pretty unacceptable. Now in a "serious" game these bugs would be rightfully called out causing consumer and critic opinion of the title to fall accordingly. SR3 knows it's buggy, knows it's inconsistent and lacks pacing, ugly and technologically lacking so forget with attempting to be even semi-serious and just go wild with zaniness as it will help mask all these problems. Back to those vehicle engine sounds, notice now how they're very quiet? Yeah.Treblaine said:
I'm pretty sure (or at least hoping) that some other producer will snatch them up pretty soon. I doubt many publishers will want the likes of Saint's Row to slip through their fingers, the one main competitor (or, accroding to Jim, the accompanier) to GTA.Slycne said:
So it had nothing to do with the person you were quoting prior. Gotcha.major_chaos said:
In fact, that's one of the dumber arguments since developers have been landing on their feet of late.AlwaysPractical said:
