The other day Yahtzee mentioned something about how nothing good would ever come from pet projects when it comes to games, because 99% of the time it?s nothing more than a circle jerk display of whatever useless gameplay feature that developers get so aspie about.
In my case, ?pet project? is becoming less of that and more like the unborn messiah I so desperately pray would be born to save me from the brink of death.
Bluntly put, I?m tired. Very tired.
Don?t get me wrong. I?m very well aware that I haven?t invested more time and money into trying out as many games as other afficionados do, and I very well *have* found some good games, but I?m already exhausted with my search of the game(s) that I?m genuinely attached to. One game plays too shallowly, or the other plays too slowly, and yet another is just plain off-putting, so on and so forth.
Yeah, say what you want. If I?m being selfish here, then go ahead and say it in big, morbidly obese letters. Hopefully I?ll just agree with whatever it is you wish to lament at me. It?s just that I?m tired of constantly assuming that game developers are making games with the sole motivation of catering to their fans with violently conflicting desires and excessively shallow taste. I?m tired of finding games with potential, only to be ruined by the atrocious habits of game developers (especially you, Activision). I?m tired of playing games that, in spite of it being a spiritual successor, still hasn?t learned its lesson.
God, I?m tired of a lot of things.
I really feel like stealing money to pay the wages of a solid dev team I hired, and taking charge of various pet projects which is a mishmash of what made games other people made so pig-fucking great. Until then, the only thing I have right now is the ability to make up character designs that?s nowhere near professional level and just too off-putting for most gamers to look at, and even on that end I?m on the brink of giving up and doom myself to the same fate of catering to drooling fanboys.
*sigh*
