I know. I tend to be pretty pessimistic and expect bad things to happen in most situations. I could see Valve doing something like this which I think would be cool. It makes me wonder how a developer could promote a game with it but at the same time keep the reward a secret. They would have to have a payoff as good as or better than this I would think.Me55enger said:They have little right to be angry. This was a social experiment; a glorified method of obtaining a random person. My mum chipped away on Curiosity. I had a short conversation after it had been finished discussing how interesting it would have been to have someone like her (not a gamer) dictating rules on a God based game.Bat Vader said:I feel bad for Bryan Henderson. He won which was cool and I congratulate him for it but at the same time I have a bad feeling that people who also really wanted to win or sunk a lot of time into it are going to be angry at him and may either try and get back at him or not buy Godus just to make sure he doesn't gain any money from their sales.
I think it would be pretty cool if other developers did this too. It would be a pretty good way to advertise a game.
In that respect I think an everyman like Bryan will make for a more interesting addition to the game over a hardcore Molyneux supporter/gamer.
I wouldn't exactly call it advertising, as we didn't know it was tied to Godus until it, well, finished. But I agree we should be seeing more things like this.
what could he incorporate? iron sights?AngryBritishAce said:However, even though I don't have a problem with him liking mostly action games, it will be problematic if he tries to incorporate action features into a strategic game.
I downloaded it to my iPhone, that's exactly what happened to me, it wouldn't run so I figured I'd better play something else lol I remember the reviews section of the app store was full of people complaining the game/experiment wouldn't run I'm happy for this guy though, I wasn't going to keep chipping away anyway (I know I would have sopped a few days after download, if that hahaha)...JediMB said:This is neat.
Personally, I downloaded Curiosity to my phone shortly after release, and couldn't get it to run. Pretty much stopped caring at that point. It'll be interesting to see what kind of influence a guy who seems to be mostly into shooters will have over a strategic God Sim.
its a god game so I imagine a fair bit (^_^)Triaed said:So what does religion have to do with this?
Aren't all games sort of a "god" game anyway? We control our little avatar within the programmed parameters. But I meant, what does hacking at a cube have to do with religion, but now as a follow up, given that the "grand prize" is having the winner appear as a fictional god in a work of fiction, what role does real life religion play on this?CommanderL said:its a god game so I imagine a fair bit (^_^)Triaed said:So what does religion have to do with this?
