Ever wanted to see a game fail. :P

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

being generally immoral about the whole thing...well, a part of me boiled into hot, white rage. Call me overly political, but that is not something I'd be doing, America. Not at all. Of course, my wishes were always going to be dumbfounded, because you just can't beat misplaced and delusional patriotism.

so because of some random video game of digital pixels, made in america, you blame all of america for something that doesn't actually effect you in any possible way...

right.

OT: Mehh not really, certain companies i'd love to see fail because of their horrible business practices but can't think of individual games at the moment.

I'm aware these guys have talent. But I want Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, games which are far too safe, unimaginative and mediocre as they are, to fail so that maybe they will squeeze out some new material. And before anyone suggests, no, a new way of controlling Mario, Zelda, etc isn't imaginative or innovative.

True that. I've played a few of the older mario's and some newer ones. They were great but im pretty much done with them now. Galaxy had a few good ideas but still not enough.

Yet people still buy the crap out of it. Its like another face to COD syndrome or something :/

I want the Skyrim MMO to fail so they rework the franchise and give us a better non-MMO Elder scrolls...

It's Elder Scrolls MMO not Skyrim. Skyrim is in it because it's a part of the continent but it's not just Skyrim ... it's all of Tamriel.

Also, it isn't Bathesda making it so it has no impact at all on the single player games, they will still be made.

Also, with Bathesda not making the MMO, if it does fail it will not cause them to rework anything they have planned for the next Elder Scrolls single player .... it will just be another MMO in the wind that has no lasting consequence on anything.

I want to see next non-MMO Elder Scrolls fail.

Enough with the boring RPG series.

Let me get this out of the way, in the end we're all horrible people to some degree. As much as we may want to support something we love, we can also want to see something spiral down to utter failure and disgrace so we can dance around it like island savages in glory. Or to put it simply, we can also hate.

I'm about to blow your mind: I'm not a horrible person. I don't like watching anything spiral down into death when it could be made into something better instead.

Anyways, I hate Lara Craft. I hate everything she represents. I mean... when they created her, the developers pretty much thought "You know how Indiana Jones would have been more baddass? If he was a she and had stonking great tits and 90s "fuck the world in a nonchalant way" attitude. Yeah wouldn't that be better.

They aren't comparable. Indiana Jones and Lara Croft are explorers and archaeologists in the same way that a lawn chair and a garden gnome are lawn furnitiure, but you can't judge them to be "better" based on the strengths of one over the other. Indiana Jones, for instance, is significantly worse at gunplay, maneuvering and surviving insane injuries when compared to Lara Croft (using the movies and "The Emperor's Tomb" as reference), as well as being significantly less great at high-society interactions (Lara Croft is a duchess, after all), but he's miles better at romance (Lara never even approaches the idea of hooking up with anyone, unlike Dr. Jones).

Also, she hasn't had the marginally annoying "screw everything" attitude for the past six years, but we'll let that one slide since I doubt you play Tomb Raider these days and assume you base your opinions of the new games off of Zero Puntuation.

Well, the new Lara Croft is obviously the game I'm rooting to fail in misery, and the only thing that's stopping my bitterness from driving me mad and turning me towards voodoo and looking up black magic and curses on google search is the undeniable fact that if the game did fail as miserably as I wanted, a whole lot of people would probably be getting canned because of it.

But still, if there was some magical way that wouldn't happen... Lara Croft would still be my candidate.

So, you're looking at the developers who are openly distancing Lara from everything that you hate about her, but you still want it to fail?

I believe that's called "blind hate". Consider realigning your perspective.

OT: As I implied above, I don't want games to fail. That would mean we have another failed game. Who wants that?

I mean, I've wanted games in their current state to not happen, but wish they had been reformed into something better, or even just different. Raving Rabbids is a decent minigame collection, but it annoys me no end that they stapled it to the Rayman franchise. If they had released it as its own thing and left Rayman out of it, I wouldn't have any animosity towards it.

Duke Nukem Forever. I can't stand the character. He just isn't funny to me.

Ohhh I was so happy when I heard it was shit I giggled like a schoolgirl.

 

[Twilight_guy]

I've never explicitly wanted a game to fail. I've wanted people to avoid certain games, make them less profitable, but not flop. Flopping means people lose jobs. Not doing well, and only making a small amount of money, means companies make different games.

The new DmC. The only way I could see myself okay wit the game is if it turns out to be the room of videogames. Everything about it is just terrible, from the story and characters to the gameplay. Though Laura and Dante do have something in common, they were too 90's and over the top fun so they had to be rebooted with 50x more dirt and edgyness.

Then you'll definitely enjoy the most uncomfortable cut-scene in gaming ever created

I'm torn on this; I want DmC to fail just because of how they screwed up the Devil May Cry feel, but at the same time, I'm worried that a failure might kill the franchise as a whole.

 

[Discordius Erisianus]

I want military shooters to fail miserably so other genres get a more balanced share of the market.

Yeah, I was waiting for this response.

Just want to let you know a huge part of this thread was suppose to be a joke... well... in a sense. I don't want any game to fail, I don't want the new Lara Croft to fail. And in all actuality part of me wouldn't mind if it turned out a pretty good game.

But... and this is the catch. That doesn't necessarily mean there isn't another part of me that felt different. In the end, I just don't like Lara Croft, so there is that part of me that would feel the way expressed in this thread. I'm fully aware of it, and I decided to make it into a joke in this thread hence why I placed a lot of lols, faces, and ridicoulous statements like being driven mad to the point of googling up ways to curse the game with voodoo... don't tell me - at least that last bith - you took it seriously?

 

[Timedraven 117]

Dead Frontier.

That game is/was so badly run and so pay to win that I really want to see it crash and burn.

Don't wish that! Other wise all my friends and I won't have a place to RP at.
But your right.

OT: Cal of Duty BLOPS2 because its just getting ridiculous.

Definitely not the last bit, I'd only take that at face value if I was on Bioware Social Network (zing!).

It's still relentlessly difficult to detect sarcasm on the internet, it takes a specific writing style/sanity progression for me to detect it, so don't take it personally when I take things seriously.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Nope. I'm not petty enough to want to see a game fail just because I don't like it. Rather than wishing it would fail I just ignore it.

What this person said. You know what I do when there's a game I don't like? I don't buy it!!
For fuck's sakes people, turn off the hate valves, you'll enjoy life more. ...maybe.

I would miss the forums, no lie.

The RP section isn't as good as it has been in the past, though. Case in point: The Winchester Pub. >.<

I know.

Case in point, all the guys in there, the older ones, can't stay interested for five pages for a rp. Its fucking pathetic too. When i make a rp, i'm not going to accept them because they just don't post.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

I still want to see the new DMC fail because like many others have said it just doesn't feel like dmc anymore because of all these complete changes but hey that's just an opinion and if the new game carries on a new series of dmc games then like many it will be dead to them and myself.

At one point I wanted Skyrim to fail (This was due to the VGA's last year and how it toppled so many other great games for it being so buggy) and then when I bought it it consumed me and while I'm happy with it now it could still do with much more patches and more official content rather than having to rely on mods most of the time.

I also wanted everything not battlefront 3 in the Lucas lineup to fail so that we'd hopefully get ourselves a Battlefront 3 but alas that was never meant to happen.

So really all that's left to want to fail is just DMC.

 

[an874]

For me it would be any and all military shooters for a while, at least until they prove that they can show some respect for their subject matter, as in Spec Ops the Line. Also, I wanted the XCOM fps game to fail while the strategy game went on to succeed, and indeed that's what happened, or has the shooter escaped development hell?

 

[Something Amyss]

Seems incredibly petty to want a game to fail.

Sometimes I think failure is deserved, but not because I'm hoping for it.
