@Lawrence_Talbot3 ай бұрын
When/how did the “community” make that clear? Unless there was a massive poll done by Rocksteady or a massive petition sent to them, the company isn’t going to see it/listen. It’s not like they dig through the comments or Reddit posts to figure out what their audience wants. And besides, it’s rare these days for any company to actually listen to their audience anyway. If they did, companies would’ve dropped the live service crap long ago.

@@Lawrence_Talbot What a weird hill to die on. Rocksteady got Bioware'd. They made the choice to sell this game on the premise that it was in the "Arkham Universe" when it does nothing but shit all over it. Rocksteady built their brand on a certain level of detail/gameplay/storytelling that suicide squad doesn't come remote close to. They set those expectations though. Not us. It was made abundantly clear to WB/Rocksteady that during the early playtest this was not going to go over well. Hell even IGN got blacklisted from review copies for it because they spoke on the status of the game. Delays happen but when it's delay upon delay coupled with drama and review embargos the games that usually come out are complete trash because of mismanagement and quite honestly lack of talent from the developer. The argument that we need to hold up a giant ass sign in from of their HQ telling them what we want is preposterous. You realize this is a product right? Their goal is to sell it. There are entire divisions of companies directly made for advertising and marketing if you didn't know.. You know what a large part of their work is? Market research. They double/triple/quadrupled down on their decisions and they deservedly were handed a shit sandwich. That isn't the players faults.

I assume that big video game companies, and entertainment companies in general seeing how Disney is going with Marvel and Star Wars, they either ignore polls/focus groups/online communities if they even know they exist or only find ones that support what they want. The former is easy to explain, some big executive might not even be aware such things exist, twitter communities, Reddit pages and so on. They are surrounded by yes men either telling them what they want to know or telling their own biased views on things. Or the execs have an idea of how they want to go and will justify it by finding some obscure poll or online community to justify it, ignoring anything that goes against their wants.

I have a feeling this list is going to continue to grow rapidly. There’s numerous reasons why, some of the big ones are: 1) Trying to appeal to too wide of an audience. Resulting in no one having any real interest. 2) Over-produced: trend/popularity chasing. Stomping out creativity and originality. 3) Choosing realistic, top of the line graphics, over something well designed and stylized. 4) Prioritizing greed over the delivered product and ruining the experience. 5) Catering only to a hardcore audience, and alienating the casual audience. Just about every game should have accessibility options, even multiplayer experiences. Competitive games can make a casual, non-competitive, build that dials back the intensity. 6) Poor marketing. 7) Releasing incomplete, broken buggy games. 8) Relying too heavily on immersion and manipulating the audience and forgetting that this is a game. You know, digital entertainment. 9) Refusing to innovate. Try something new. Develop new gameplay mechanics/loops. Attempt a new genre, or sub-genre. Kind of a catch all that doesn’t cover #2. 10) Continue allowing higher ups, and upper management too much creative control. Everything prior is more or less the fault of these guys.

As for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, I was in Hawaii when this thing was being put together and put out. One of my Japanese besties was working at Square at that time, and they had offices in Hawaii. The Square Hawaii team apparently had a big hand in this production. I remember him whipping out merch when we'd meet people, talking about the realistic depiction of eyes and what-not from the characters of the film. After its failure at the box-office, Square Hawaii pretty much ceased to exist. Was really sad about that, because I was able to rub elbows with the lead of Square Hawaii on several nights out on the town. After Square quit Hawaii I lost a lot of drinking buddies when they went back to Japan. Sad times.

Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda should be 1 & 2 on every failure list.
@chrisanderson78203 ай бұрын
ME Andromeda did sell OK though, circa $100 mil so it probably recouped its budget plus a bit (though not by a lot). Anthem also pulled in roughly $100mil but cost somewhere around $175 mil, so a pretty big loss but not as bad as some out there.

Ironically, Scooby Doo, if you think about it, would make a GREAT live service game, if it was built like a Narritive Noir Dramady. Think like L.A. Noir meets Dead by Daylight with new eps and mysteries always dropping weekly/monthly
@RSpracticalshooting3 ай бұрын
The biggest problem with live service is that they never feel like complete games. You're always waiting for the next little drizzle of content instead of being able to feel satisfied with what the game launched with.
@iGame3D3 ай бұрын
Live Services is like dating a woman who takes off all her clothes, but the parts you would enjoy most aren't there yet. Or you buy a house, it looks great on the outside, you open the front door to a wall and next month when you think you're going to have a foyer, they drop decorative door ornament on you.

The only reason I haven’t played Immortals of Aveum is probably because of that goofy looking thing on their arm. I don’t know what they were going for when they were designing it but it looks like someone tried to make a wire art beetle/scarab but gave up and settled on an oversized bottle opener…
