| S.T.A.G.E. said: What kind of reaction was I expecting? Being a millenial who watches youtube, Twitch and other apps.....I expected an internet response. LOL I said, I want Crackdown to be pushed back for the sake of the game. I want to play the game and I want to play it at its highest quality....and I also said...(logically speaking) its release date is going to destroy the game because consumers are going to be forced to decide whether they want Crackdown 3, Star Wars Battlefront or COD. I got the same shades of the mistake EA made because this is not good decision-making by Microsoft. |
Uh, cool? I mean, the stream did get a reaction. And in some cases, a cringey overreaction. You wanted Crackdown 3 pushed back because the graphics suck and the release date was bad. Both pretty terrible reasons for wanting a game delayed, but made even worse by the fact that all the journalists you talk about that crapped on its visuals had nothing but praise for the gameplay. I'm just a gamer. If a good game comes out then I welcome it. I don't worry about when its releasing or what it looks like so long as it plays well. Furthermore like I told you in another one of your Crackdown 3 threads, the second they delay the game you're going to be making post after post about how "the only credible Xbone exclusive" of the year is delayed, or whatever you called it. If the game comes out in November, buy it if you want it. If not, buy something else. People buy a shit ton of games during the holidays. Maybe MS figures the extra sales they'll make by a holiday release offsets the loss of sales from heavy competition?
| S.T.A.G.E. said: Ive watched videos of the first Crackdown and it seems like decent fun, but the way things are looking for Crackdown 3...that game is going straight into the deep discount area just like Halo Wars, but the only difference is that more people were actually talking about Crackdown. You're mistakening someone who wants the best for the game for someone who actually dislikes it. I believe Rand got the con footage got the footage from Mixer....which is a stream gamers watch. Do you know what happens if gamers see games with screw ups and bad pr? Go to youtube and look up" worst E3 moments".

I'm shocked more people are talking about an open world action game than a console RTS game. Also, I haven't just watched videos of Crackdown, I actually bought it day one. And I even played through the shitty Crackdown 2. All the critics are saying this is a throw back to the original game and that the gameplay is a blast. Sounds good enough for me. You feel free to continue worrying about release date and graphics.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: If you werent paying attention in the video, Major Nelson had to try and talk his way out of the crappy gameplay of the person who was playing next to him as well as the bad physics. Someone in the comments section literally wrote a whole paragraph of what he said just to show how ridiculous it sound. If you have your marketing strategy together, you showcase the game publically with someone who somewhat knows what they are doing (at least by a moderate level). Rand is actually sick of people talking crap about Crackdown and wishes the game the best, but hes finally awakening to Microsofts marketing. |
Goofy physics shit happens in literally every open world game. Major Nelson is a douchebag who always talks over people and is horrible at commentating on gameplay. That being said, who gives a crap what he was trying to "talk his way out of"? He's a Microsoft employee shilling a Microsoft game. Companies have streams and videos of celebrities and shitty gamers all the fucking time. Has nothing to do with getting your "marketing strategy together". Again, watch E3 videos where you have actual gamers playing. Who knew a conference for gamers would have people good at playing games, and a conference for comic book enthusiasts would not. And surprise, even a celebrity who knows a thing or two about gaming actually still sucks at gaming. Again, ever heard of Clueless Gamer?

Really, no offense, but who cares who he is. Was there a bigger Xbox fan than Don Mattrick? Look how utterly wrong he was.
