Hence this will reflect, because logging into a game that's all about being or becoming some good citizen is not going to go well. The genre is going to lean towards dystopia and people becoming outlaws to survive in lawless (or failed) states. A game with the theme like SC would have done well in the 1990s, but not now and not in the near future.



Check your medication please. I think you missed the green pill with blue stripes. It might have rolled under the couch.

If I'm not mistaken the only role they had in Mercenaries 2 was porting the game over to one of the platforms, and Pandemic handled everything else.

If you're thinking of the original Mercenaries on the original Xbox, that was 100% Pandemic.

Haha, yeah, "sarcasmology" is a dead science nowadays.

That is why I need to use the warnings:

(Sarcasm on)

Incarna was a great expansion with lots of awesome content, mainly the Captain Quarters, that I love to play over and over.

You've bought the oculus rift?

no, was thinking of merc 2, thought they had a bigger hand in it, since everyone I know back then was whining about them changing devs. either way, i am sad that theres no mercenaries 1/2 on steam (though maybe if they ever actually do Merc Inc like they used to talk about, the games will end up there)

Flashes 10 year vet status.

I love that i can do that...

anyway, op: whatever the **** ccp wants to spend money on. Its their money. You willingly forked it over. Don't like eve? then STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. its that simple.

And to add to the avalanche of a chorus, SC is a joke. Seriously, a joke. Why the **** did they need 2 mill in total to 'make a high tech sound studio and tv set for wingmangs hanger..." DID YOU IDIOTS NOT HAVE THAT ALREADY?!?! or 'Hey guys, give us another mill and we will give you a fish!!!" please.

Drop SC.

Go Elite: Dangerous P

Latter one likely will be on the market and playable 10 times faster then SC.

I look forward to Elite:Dangerous as that means I can play 2 sandbox spaceship games...

yea maybe SC was a bad example as there seems to be a lot of hate for that. maybe people who have spend money on it?
I still think that for comparing time and money spent on similar content (Captains quarters and SC hanger) the level of work put into and produced in the SC example make's eve's incarana attempt look like a nock off DVD.

But yea i read the financial statement some one linked. Seems I was unaware of how big a f up DUST and WOD had been. Ironically I did predict that. Im intrigued by Valkyrie but concerned it may be to soon in the life of vr for it to ever take off. (Or it maybe the break out hit that defines rift and what ever sony is doing) . This other DUST inspired shooter. I can only say FFS how many times does CCP need be told they have not got the weight or ability to break into the OVERCROWDED shooter market. There product WILL have a shelf life of about 4 months. EVEN if they did a MMOFPS like planetside It's got to compete with planetside. STOP WASTING MONEY OF FPS market CCP.

ok then. Well I think eve need more content. kinda bored of the boring old universe of stations, few moons with pos, gate's and wh's etc. I WANT SOME ENVIRONMENTS THAT EFFECT THE WAY WE PLAY. .


That sounds very much like a personal problem. Personal problems get fixed by the person having the problem, not some outside group like CCP.

I've played this game for a long time (7 years now) and I'm not bored. If you are bored that means you lack the creativity and will to find new ways to entertain yourself. Funny thing is that most people who get bored in a game like EVE are also the same kinds of people who DON'T try new things on their own and expect someone else to fix things for them.

SC? You mean the 48M crowd funded twitch based mini sim which may cause the servers to drop when 8 players are in the same instance and may never be released?

They don't have to release the game at all now that they're rich. Just release a troll video to show "progress".

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.
