Why don't you just change it to "Zynga decides to ride off the recent Wild West popularity that Red Dead Redemption has created."
YES! His take on FarmVille is so epic. I was happy to have discovered him (his video about the Twilight trailer is on the similar level of epic).Rarhnor said:
Is it truly a competitor if the profits from both go to the exact same company?Tom Goldman said:
Well, even if they are "sisters"(since both came from a "gay", I mean.... happy company....), they are competing for facebook users to play them.... Much like 2 sister radios on the same company. Sure, they are in the same company, but with audience share, they are rivals IMO....Onyx Oblivion said:
Anyway... Another Farmville-esque game from the makers of Farmville... *Vomits*
Yep, totally not trying to cash in on Red Dead Redemption at all, no sirree.
OT: *Cocks AK-47* That's it, I'm going through with it, ho Steve Jobs! can you come here a minute? AndPenis Pincus, think you can come here too? I've got a new boot I want to give you.

Wasn't there any article about how Zynga needs to make a slightly deeper version of Farmville to cash in on the new market of casuals they created? I hope it turns out well. A new generation of consumers and hobbyists would be great.
While I never plan to play it (mostly because I don't care for Facebook at all and I absolutely HATE most RPGs), this does sound intriguing from a time-waster standpoint. Might check it out if I ever fall into the social networking disaster that is Facebook.
The article is written like it's some great new RPG ground that Zynga is expanding into, but I don't see it. You harvest crops, you clear debris, you build stuff, you get experience for it all. The only difference is that this time, instead of choosing what you want to do, you get quests telling you what to do instead.
This means only one thing to me; something else I'm going to have to block in order to stop getting damn requests to join or accept some crap.

Urge... to... not care... rising...
Seriously, I've already long given up on Zynga making anything other than a point-and-click-a-thon. Adding more things to click on before you can click on other stuff doesn't make it any more of a game.
For those who haven't heard any of my rants on the subject before, my issue with Zynga is that the players skills/abilities have absolutely 0 influence on the program or outcomes of actions. They will never be games, only time sinks. As long as I'm going for a time sink, I'll find one from a company that doesn't use its games for scams.
