untalented developers just copycatting every game instead of developing their own unique games. this type of developers is what ruins the game industry in my opinion |
Gameloft is like #1 developer/publisher in mobile gaming, and one of my favorites (others are Glu for Ancient Empires and RedLynx for High Seize / Reset Generation). And I don't care whether some of their titles are rip-off or not as long as they bring quality to the table and the best of the breed without overshooting my portable entertainment needs.
So, Gameloft definitely means value to lots of their customers (just like me), therefore please stop calling them untalented. It's the type of developers which think too much genius of themselves to develop a game with truly mass appeal and are too cocky for truly mass devices (going all weirdo and 1337 instead) which actually destroys the industry.

Yes, so Bungie was REEEEAAALL talented with ODST, gratz on your 60$ + expansion. It's a game for an iPhone at that, not even for a console. That in itself is an achievement. Outside of Halo: CE and Halo3, Bungie hasn't done much to wow. Also a talented dev would be able to crossover into other great games, which Bungie used to do...anyone remember ONI? Even $quenix (known before as squaresoft) was able to make one of the best shmups of all time Einhander. Just cuz Bungie makes an FPS which reeks of milked genre (not Bungie's fault, it's M$'s fault for forcing them), doesn't show that they are super talented as they are painted to be. Furthermore halo is nothing new. CE was successful because all it did was make a good button schematic for consoles, but one could argue that Halo is a ripoff of Doom meets starship troopers with an iconic hero that attracts the masses, both core gamers and fanboys alike.

yeah yah yeah keep convincing yourself od that since i enjoyed odst which is an expansion more than most games. i felt it was short but how enjoyable it was blew me away so by your logic every studio is untalnted. nove copies even halo creatures like the brute what more can you expect to be copied if they copied anything more they would be in for a lawsuit probably.
