the TBA Project Cafe thread

[DrRumack]

well since you asked so nicely

[GhostingFish]

I have connections to this guy that has access to proof that in the late 80's there were computer co.s that were developing CG games with better graphics then todays king game developers. Its a money game. They wait an allotted time to release a better game counsel when they know perfactly well the graphics are like 10 worse then what has already been developed.

[FunnyDog]

that thing you just said made no fucking sense

[rtil]

true

i mean most people are buying 3DS so they can play games they played 10 years ago on a smaller screen

their loyalty is akin to valve fanboys

valve fanboys only need to buy the game once

yes im not getting this maybe a better comparison would be to blizzard fanboys

i think you're vastly underestimating a valve fanboy's capacity to blow money on shit they don't need, like the whole "potato sack" fiasco with portal 2, and all the ridiculous microtransactions that take place in tf2 and portal 2. i'm sure if valve took advantage of this more they'd have people dishing out their wallets just as often as the nintendo crowd.

well the potato sack was technically a good deal if you actually wanted to play those games but that's true

i guess i never thought people ACTUALLY spent real money on hats for their digital characters but what do I know!!!

you have no idea..

yesterday i saw a hat on tf2 "on sale" for $7.45, it's the biggest thing on the menu

i'm sure it help support the game's development, and you don't have to buy them, but i do think it cheapens the integrity of the game and the company

They have hats that are almost $30 bucks. $7 is like the average price of most of them not on sale.


Although in the defense of humanity I feel like I don't see that many people with expensive hats. Still a fucking rip off

yeah that facebook style of nickel and diming for shit is pretty unprofessional

[Kooh]

It'll probably end up being in everyone's homes like the wii, only to be forgotten a year later.
