Yesterday I watched this movie:

My theory is that all this hate against TSW was started from authorities because they want you not to know the truth!!! :)

I've never wanted a game to fail, actually.  I've genuinely disliked games before, never enough to go all vendata-ish and hope it fails.  I don't get worked up like that.  Well, not about games failing or not anyhow.  In TSW's case, the game puzzled me.  I wasn't able to figure out why I didn't like it, I just knew that I didn't.  So I don't play it, easy.

Anyhow, since you know things.   Tell me why I want ketchup on my eggs now!  It seems unusual to me..but for some reason I want to try it.

You need help if you actually belive that crap...

TSW was a strange game, an impulse buy for me was fun for 2-3 days than i stopped and forgot that i even bought the game and had it on untill i got my CC bill...

The game was just one big snooze fest, depressing zones, non-stop griding of mobs and chain pulling from quest to quest, and my god the game look horrible, yes the engine is amazing but the art style is bleh... the char creator is horrible, the clothing is ugly, and the textures on the chars just look like plastic.

"Ewwww look at the teselatoin on the floor tiles aren't you impressed?!" - No! not when the chars i cam make look like somthing that was made in poser 3....

The PVP is broken and boring, the combat is repetetive and it has not charm to it....

Iam playing the trial and comparing this mmo to others i played this year.

TSW has a awesome world it looks amazing with high end system.
Then you try to combat a mob and you get disapointed realy fast.

For a game that launched a few weeks ago the combat is static, animations horrible and the effect that go with it belong to a 2004 mmo, not a 2012 mmo.

For me thats proof of lack of design, half work.
And not only that but the Box price + sub + cashop is to much for a game like this.

it has nothing to do that peopel want it to fail i think, just alot of people get disapointed alot lately and get fed up with paying around 80 euro to play a game with a score of 8.5 that realy realy sucks bigtime.

You can have fun tough, but that doesnt mean the game provides all the qaulity a gamer wants in his mmo.

I bet at least 2 of you guys that replied here work for the government, and the other sheep follows after ;)

I've tried alot of MMOs this year while I didn't even know about hyping. Overall I think TSW is the best game (yet I agree that some things could need small improvements). I don't even care about GW2, and I can't understand what makes it so much more hyped. It's the most hyped game I've ever seen - like a poop wrapped in gold paper (I know I'll be hated here for saying this)

I simply don't understand. Therefore, I choose to believe that this is controlled by the governments! They don't want you to open your eyes :)

Have you called George Norrie from coast to coast AM last night should have been open lines.  At least send him an email.  Just saying. I bet it would be something they would spend 15 minutes on.

Same here.  I found the game extremely boring to be honest.

Wanting others to fail is usually a sign of low self esteem because ones own shortcomings and failures seem more acceptable - as the saying goes, misery loves company.

Here's some insight on the phenomenon:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude

Scientific studies

A New York Times article in 2002 cited a number of scientific studies of schadenfreude, which it defined as "delighting in others' misfortune". Many such studies are based on social comparison theory, the idea that when people around us have bad luck, we look better to ourselves. Other researchers have found that people with low self-esteem are more likely to feel schadenfreude than are people who have high self-esteem.^[25]

A 2003 study examined intergroup schadenfreude within the context of sports, specifically an international soccer competition. The study focused on the German and Dutch soccer teams and their fans. The results of this study indicated that the emotion of schadenfreude is very sensitive to circumstances that make it more or less legitimate to feel such malicious pleasure towards a sports rival.^[26]

A 2006 experiment suggests that men, but not women, enjoy seeing bad people suffer. The study was designed to measure empathy, by watching which brain centers are stimulated when subjects inside an fMRI observe someone experiencing physical pain. Researchers expected that the brain's empathy center of subjects would show more stimulation when those seen as good got an electric shock than would occur if the shock was given to someone the subject had reason to consider bad. This was indeed the case, but for male subjects, the brain's pleasure centers also lit up when someone got a shock that the male thought was well-deserved.^[27]

Brain-scanning studies show that schadenfreude is correlated with envy in subjects. Strong feelings of envy activated physical pain nodes in the brain's dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; the brain's reward centers, such as the ventral striatum, were activated by news that the people envied had suffered misfortune. The magnitude of the brain's schadenfreude response could even be predicted from the strength of the previous envy response.^[28][29]

A 2009 study indicates that the hormone oxytocin may be involved in the feeling of schadenfreude.^[30] In that study, it was reported that when participants in a game of chance were pitted against a player they considered arrogant, inhaling oxytocin through the nose enhanced their feelings of schadenfreude when their opponent lost as well as their feelings of envy when their opponent won.

A study conducted in 2009 by Combs et al. provides evidence for people's capacity to feel schadenfreude in response to negative events in politics.^[31] The study was designed to determine whether or not there was a possibility that events containing objective misfortunes might produce schadenfreude. It was reported in the study that the likelihood of experiencing feelings of schadenfreude depends upon whether an individual's own party or the opposing party is suffering harm. This study suggests that the domain of politics is prime territory for feelings of schadenfreude, especially for those who identify strongly with their political party.

Welcome to the current generation of youth,

A bunch of self entitled brats with no concern for anyone other than themselves, spewing nonsense left and right like they are on a mission to see who can make themselves appear the most foolish in a record amount of time.

There is always a vested interest in the MMO community to hope another game fails.  It reinforces their own opinion that the game is bad.  I also believe that the community views each game as competition to their own game of choice.  The fewer rivals, the better the chances of their own games success.

^This. Sums it up nicely

I want the company to fail/die. Too many lies and broken promises.

You can lecture me all you want, but that doesn't change anything and seeing their reports, seems I'm not alone. I don't want an unethic company to prosper, I want them gone for the good of gamers. Some other company can pick this game up and I might even try it then.

I don't even play an MMO now and I won't buy GW2 (the big bad boogie) either. I'm just tired of bad companies getting more chances.

Actually it's probably leftover resentment from AoC and how dare Funcom release another game that is half complete.

So if they fail then they got their cum-muffins (comuppance) and hopefully won't ever make the same mistake again.

I was longing for this game to succeed.

You have no idea how long I'd been waiting for a realization of the vision of H.P. Lovecraft in a modern-day setting in an MMO.

It's annoying because they got the setting and the characters and even the mob design pretty much right on. I still remember first seeing the amusement park, and the Black house. That woman who lived in the tree in Transylvania? LOVED IT.

But the gameplay, oh boy. The combat and the animations and the density of mobs and the lack of the "survival horror" feel just really blew it for me.

Why didn't they make this a 4-player co-op game like Left4Dead 2? That would have been amazing.

i agree said it during beta making it more survival horrorish would of really set it apart from the rest and think people would of loved it.

Would almost certainly have sold better too, going by L4D2's sales.
