Forums - Gaming Discussion - Garriott: 'Most game designers really just suck'

teigaga on 20 March 2013

Well what he says sounds a bit harsh...

But i've learned from playstation plus that wouldn't pay full price for most games.

ok, I suppose we should consider ourselfes lucky, that this game designer with no equal apart from (maybe) Chris Roberts graces gaming again with his unfathomable inherent skills - at our own financial risk ofcourse

Isn't that... weird? I call eternal BS on whatever that guy will say henceforth until the end of time ^^

It's easy to be critical, asshole.

Why does a guy who has a shit ton of money like him need to take money from kickstarter that could've been used by young, WAY more talented devs? HUH!? I call it daylight robbery.

And WHEN'S the last time you've made something worth talking about!?

My friends over at Free Lives Gaming are designing the most awesome indie game ever (maybe a little bit of exaggeration, but its really, really cool) right now. The design is brilliant and original. I know, cause I'm playing it all the time.

It's so ridiculous when a dude who hasn't been a major part of an industry is just plain ignorant of it's recent developments.

Dota2 is the product of genius. Incredible design .

We hates them forever precious.

@bold: The dude made ULTIMA. You can thank him for the modern RPG genre not looking like Wizardry, and for the entire JRPG genre because Dragon Quest and FF are both simply casualized versions of Ultima.

To be fair, he never expressly said that "all game designers suck", he actually says "most game designers suck" and he's right about that. He never stated that Blezinski, Kojima and Miyamoto are bad designers either, that's just you guys putting words in his mouth. Besides, for my part, all three have lost their flare and original zest a long time ago and become predictable and long-winded in their work.

I think that Garriott is right in his statement that "most game designers suck", I really do.

@bold and peter molanmjö hasn't? Fable has consistently become worse for each new entry, and I don't think we need to mention Milo...

When he worked in the industry, Molinjö hadn't made fable yet. That is obviously his context.

Yeah he made Ultima, and Ultima Online is the reason I got into PC gaming. Hell I still miss those old PVP days.

Also, Tabula Rasa

In July 2010, an Austin District Court awarded Garriott US$28 million in his lawsuit against NCsoft, finding that the company did not appropriately handle his departure in 2008. NCsoft stated that it intended to appeal the decision.[37][38] In October 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the judgment.

Cha-Ching!



It's just that simple.

Hmmm, I wouldn't say we suck, Mr Garriott. We just need to go back to the drawing board in some areas, which is one of the reasons I decided to join the industry in the first place.


Didn't know you were so in-touch with the Industry! ò.O You gotta show me what you've done 'till now.
