You think Funcoms devs act like little kids. I'd suggest you avoid any video of WAR devs lmao. |

Originally posted by Fion Yet strangely, it's Conan that's lately been getting a lot of bad vibes about immaturity, and not WAR. There's a reason for that, and it's illustrated blatantly in this article. Because one company is marketing it's product like adults, based on it's gameplay and design rather than on 'Woot! We got bewbies and blood!' and doesn't have to keep repeating 'It's mature! IT'S MATURE DAMMIT' while acting the total opposite almost every time it advertises itself. I'll let you guess which company is which.

I do agree that the lore behind the game is sexual in nature and has a lot of gore and such, however, as many have replied... The game is not being marketed like it's a mature game. Anytime you can quote a developer making an exclamatory selling point on the words "We've got boobies!"... thats not mature... |

Exactamente. This bothers me; I became interested in Conan lore when I heard about this game quite a while ago, and I feel like this is the opposite of the point of the world. "OMG BEWBS!" is not the angle I feel like fans of the IP (I sort of include myself, but I am new; haven't even read the books) should be/are quite offended by that quote. I don't want the devs to be randy preteens at heart. I think that this is a gritty world, and yes, there is sexuality, but there is sexuality in the real world and not everone acts like this. I have a mature relationship with my lady friend, if you catch my meaning, but this isn't really the attitude I feel like I take when we are in "adult" situations. Hyboria is brutal and savage and sexy, but I feel like the devs are missing real sexuality in favor of digital breasts. |

Reading your little hint there in between the lines made me chuckle thinking of acting like the Funcom guy did during some certain things... |

Although, now that I think about it, I think I *do* get temporary buffs from her. |

It's going to be a female avatars' paradise. Just make one with big boobs and log in. Money will flow. Funcom knows that the majority of teen players will sell an arm and a leg to play this. The first MMO with mature esrb targeting teens. Nice marketing. |

Heh, just had a nightmare vision of what this game could turn into if things go wrong: - OMG BOOB!!11!!!
This is one of the games I'm looking forward to. Though these days you pretty much never know how a community will turn out beforehand. So fans, cross your fingers :)

Guys/girls, oh my god. Tharaldsen was obviously joking; Conan is not a "OMG, WE HAVE BOOOOBS!" game, nor do the developers behave like that either. What I hate about pre-release discussion is all the assumptions, and all the speculation based on out-of-context quotes like this. |
