Much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I kind of want Firefly to take a bit of a hit for Stronghold 3; which by all accounts was sub-par to hilarious levels.
Yes they are! A lot of responses are because of DRM and what not. Stop making up stupid rules.canadamus_prime said:
Second of all, it is calling names, and it's a petty argument to label everyone just because you disagree. I always see people acting so righteous, thinking they know whats best, when they should be defending instead of making lazy stupid responses. You wasted energy on that really. You think you're going to change anyone's mind by just calling people petty?
And how do you know they just dislike it and that's it? Also, where did you get this 'wasting vast amounts of enegry' rubbish from? This is a lazy thread where people can just quickly reply there opinion. Assumptions make for terrible arguments every single time mate.
Well, to be perfectly honest, I want Oddworld to fail.
Lemme explain this one. Oddworld was a thing way back in the earlier Playstation days with some pretty imaginative and cool things, a world dedicated towards being odd and funny with a hero who is a completely powerless slave called Abe. Brilliant. Game fun, sequel fun. The boys at Oddworld Inhabitants teased the notion of a quintology, a set of five games that would take us deep into the World of Odd that was this planet and maybe even explain why there was a Mudoken paw print on the moon.
Never happened.
They got as far as brilliantly taking care of Abe in a primary game and expansion game (which they stated that they wanted to do with all of their main characters) and then...problems. See, they were fine, and then Microsoft did that thing where they try to entice developers to work at their place while secretly being RUPTURE FARMS, where you will eventually be on the menu like Mudoken Pops! So, they sold out to Microsoft to work on the X-Box only and all the fans went "SCREW YOU!" because their next game was for like one system and didn't even receive well.
Actually, that happened twice. They had Stranger's Wrath and Munch's Oddysee and they didn't do too well. They might've done better if they didn't go exclusive and thus totally piss off anyone who ever owned a Playstation. Because back then, not everyone was even sold on the X-Box. The X-Box was the copy of all the test answers from Sony, who did all the work by collaborating with Nintendo and then taking it for themselves. (True story.) So, Microsoft copied what they had rightfully stolen off of their business partners and people were not too sure about that.
So, to get back onto things, Oddworld was very unsuccessful with its exclusive deal, and every now and then they poke their heads up out of the sand to say "Hey, we still exist!". And I go "Are you still exclusive to X-Box?", to which they nervously reply "Yes?", and I go "Fuck off, then. I'm still on Playstation, imaginary representation of Oddworld. You can't have me.". And they missed the bus by far. They were a clever niche at a time where clever niches were needed and they screwed it up, so I don't WANT them to succeed.
They deserve to feel like they shotgunned themselves in the faces for messing up their glory days where they had fans and a following that believed in their wackiness. They're going nowhere and I never want them to ever imply that they're ever going SOMEWHERE, because it's not happening. They're dead.

What this guy said.Noelveiga said:
So...the point of this thread is to wish hate and doom on a franchise that you may not enjoy, while other people may enjoy it considerably?
...alrighty then. That's pretty...shallow.
EDIT: Did you really have to put an emoticon in the title of the thread, too? Ugh.
I don't like the idea of wishing genuine failure on any industry providing jobs for people, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see a wake-up call for some of the franchises getting away with homogenizing the same formula year after year in hopes of wringing all the cash they can out of it.Z of the Na said:
Yeah, I sorta feel the same way about people with snarky brony avatars...Z of the Na said:
But anyways, can't speak for everyone else that's posted, but I made this thread out of the awareness of how uncalled for it is to sometimes hate a game with such passion that you would wish doom and gloom on it. But everyone feels that way now and then. And to be honest, I find it funny.
You can't always demand people and yourself to be reasonable. Sometimes, being a terrible person can be a lot of fun as long as you're not hurting anyone.
Then again... nothing wrong with hurting someone a little.

^This. Last decent game of theirs I remember was Prototype... have they produced anything else worthwhile since then?lRookiel said:
Also WoW. Although that already happened, I just wish people could see it more clearly so we could get Blizzard to start making something new.
I want a lot of things to fail.
Hitman Absolution after I played it. 'cos it's a success they will now stick to that non-blood money small linear level rubbish formula
max payne 3 because I don't think there's a point to max payne after he solved the death of his family New york nior experience
Every assassin's creed game - but that's an ongoing franchise just doing what it does, it's not ruining something I love or taking it in a direction I don't agree with. But mostly because watered-down Ubisoft games seem to be inspiring other publiisher/ developers to do the same thing.
Almost every EA game. That needs to die.

I don't ever wish failure on any game because I like to see progress. However, I am absolutely tickled at how some games, like Warfighter, fail, because those are the games that don't make any progress.
For me, it's BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma...
...is what I would say if I were huffing massive amounts of paint. Joking aside, I can't really think of any kinds of games that I'd like to fail. I'd love to see them stop milking the Repetitive Modern War FPS Cows if that's what you mean. Though if games like Halo and Call of Duty kicked the bucket, I feel like people would probably burn down Microsoft and Activision's buildings and trample all their employees. I mean after all, according to the stories about MW3 last year, isn't that just what they did to get the game?

I hear this a lot, and I only half agree with you.lRookiel said:
I want to see Infinity Ward fail, because they suck, but I want Treyarch to survive. Why? Well, this is why:
They appear to be growing slowly insane. I truly believe them to be our best hope for a truly insane triple A shooter.
Call of Duty: Space Scorpion Wars! Jetpacks, freeze rays, armored scorpion Calvary vs Space Godzilla.
I can dream, can't I?
OT: Aside from Infinity Ward's CoDs, no, not really. Maybe World of Warcraft, as I see it strangling all other MMOs, but that's never really had an affect on me.
Never seen Nostalgia Chick, and critiquing Lara or Dante's character is like critiquing an B action movie star. You're there to see some badass give one liners and blow things up. Not everything has to be deep and artistic and try to make a statement. Honestly I don't remember much of her character since the only Tomb Raider I played was the first one when it came out, and I remember her being a female Indiana Jones.BrotherRool said:
I can tell you that, it's not secretly there. Though you seem to have an issue with boobs, do you honestly think the author was trying to attract people by drawing boobs in their comic? One of the first things people noticed about new Lara is she had smaller boobs, so in an effort to show how different they are the author exaggerated old Lara's. Though you seem like one of those people who read waaaay to far into crap and see things that aren't even there. There's nothing of hope or imagination or forgetting how to dream in there. Where did you pull that from? They're mad because they got fired for the new hip trendy guys and going "why do people like that crap?". It's like listening to you're favorite radio station and then having them play Justin Beiber. That's what the people are into now, you just didn't go with the trend. I can agree their forgetting in booze, but not about what you said. Can you imagine reading it without them drinking and how it would look? The booze is used as an excuse to let them ***** and moan and be stupid.
And the game proved them wrong, I'd love to see DmC prove all the haters wrong by being good. If it doesn't I can say I told you so.
i'd like to see the following fail
CoD
Battlefield
GTA
Madden
and
Farcry3 just for annoying me with all the fucking adds
