Personally I cant stand words like "streamline", "modern" etc. To me that only says one thing and one thing only, namely destroying/take out anything that is rpg at its finest. To respond to people who say overcomplicating games isnt a good thing, of course not. But OVERSIMPLYFING isnt the answer you're looking for either.
If a company is known for beeing more traditional then of course people expect a sequal to be played out in the same manner with some things added and/or things that wasnt great to be updated to a more functionally level.
Nobody expects or want a dried down version of Diablo or whatever. If that was the case then they'd probably would buy such a game becouse there are no shortage of these around, or at least thats what I would do.
Now when you ****** on your fanbase and certainly know what they expect due to the fact that yoiur eyes are on the dollars and nothing else, then there will be an outcry, wich we now see on a grand scale.
Deserving too, nobody wants "their game" gengre to be taken over by a compleatly diferent one!
If thats so hard to understand then I suggest you go to yourself.
There are those that love's both games, I do however firmly belive there are more that dont.
Either way its clearly a misstake to change a direction without telling your long time fans/consumers before you do. If the casual player is BW goals by all means go ahead, just show me the courtesy before you do!
For those who say old school rpg is dead, nothing could be further from the truth. The sales from DA shows that and probably is the one thing that keeps DA 2 from beeing a failure in the long run. That said, you cant draw the conclution of those people liking this game however. This is most certainly going to show in the next installment (if there is one) of this franchise. There wont be as many pr oders beforehand is my bet.
Of course this game can be hit among a new fanbase however wich I kind of doubt. Casual players generally isnt all that patcient and loyal and will move on to the next "hot" thing out there in a blink of an eye, much like in politics.
Nothing ever stands and nothing really matters but the money, BW DA O sold and sold extremly well, just dont stare at the dollars becouse in the end, the one who wants it all will be the one without nothing in most cases.
Cant say I hate DA 2 but its far from the title i was expecting and has to many flaws that points to beeing rushed and/or lack of passion for the game. Its an ok game on its own merits nothing more, compared to its preedessor however it is extremly weak in most ares imo.
BW have an identity crisses and doesnt even now it wich is so very sad. stand for something in an era where very few can and will, that will get you money and respect. You may not be as rich as some others but still far far away from poor!
Retour en haut
