Seriously? There were so many things that didn't make sense in this post that I HAD to say something:Limbsy1 said:@TiefBlau
Well games being one aspect of things I get that original vision gets corrupted. But why do we as a community accept that? Why cant the standard be excellence? or at least not bad?
I get that it always boils down to money and that the "community" has trouble collaborating against things. I know its idealistic but why cant we have our cake and eat it? Why cant quality be rewarded monetarily.
I dont want to come across as a guy who quantifies "good" with "makes money" but I want to stop rewarding bad with making money and start allowing things that are well done to be rewarded more often so there is an incentive to make something good other than pet projectness.
Why cant the standard be excellence? or at least not bad?
It already IS. No one says "Hey, let's make a BAD GAME.
Why cant quality be rewarded monetarily.
People buy good games, so it is
And that whole last paragraph is just one horrid run-on sentence that makes no sense as written.
We punish bad games by not buying them. I can't tell you the number of games I have played that I won't play sequels of. Red faction 1&2 were great. 3 wasn't what I expected it to be, based on the originals, and 4 doesn't look to be any better, so I won't buy it. I will give Ace Combat 7 a try, but if it isn't as good as HAWX, I will buy HAWX 3 and NOT Ace Combat 8. See how that works? Everyone else is the same.
