Latest Blog Entry - Penny Arcade's latest shill for WoW.
From my blog I was a Pissed Off middle-aged gamer [todeswulf]

 
I sometimes wonder if Gabe and Tycho over at Penny Arcade actually believe that gamers buy into the whole “we are neutral and aren’t really critics Bullshit?”
 
 I’m referring to this comic and this blog respectively. While I am no giant fan of DDO, I do believe Kate Piaz (who has done a very good job steering a game that was on life support) should bitch slap Tycho the next time she see him for referring to her not by name but by the 1840’s moniker “The Woman” (Kate… Tycho….her name is Kate, she even tells you what her name is at the beginning of the video you half-assed looked at, but..you already knew who she was and still decided to snub her that way…prick.)  
 
But actually that is an aside from the real issue I have with this comic/blog or “Clog.”
 
Tycho then goes into this rant that even if the DDO was awesome it could still not beat the Apex of Killing 10 Yetis in World Of Warcraft. He then basically tells us that neither Warhammer Online, nor Age of Conan really can possibly be better than the “rescinded, and reasserted “ bliss that is WoW (Yeah I wanted to puke too) he sums up this ignorant sycophancy by telling us how he spent several hours grinding Mobs that refused to yield the loot he was after….because after all not giving us what we need to finish a quest is why Nine Million Chinese gold farmers, and several thousand North American Trailer Park dwellers play World Of Warcraft.
 
Since despite his sometime unbearable ego I still think Tycho is an okay guy, and in that spirit I’ve decided to end his confusion on whether Warhammer will be a better game or not.
 
Tycho, dude…..Warhammer is in fact better than World Of Warcarft.
 
There I said it and I’m not taking it back. I now am going to tell you why it’s better without breaking the NDA, because unlike you I don’t spew shit just to hear the sound of my own voice.
 
·       It’s better first and foremost because it is the original that Warcraft pillaged and raped the hell out of .
 
·       It’s better because it doesn’t look like Walt Disney dropped several hits of microdot, and decided to make a MMO.
 
·       It’s better because you are actually dropped into the Warhammer fantasy universe, and you engage in that universe as opposed to being dropped into the middle of a brightly colored acquisition simulator.
 
·       It’s better because you do not look like an Assfuck waiting for a place to happen when you put on Armor,  (Something you no doubt like) but most of all Tycho…you fucking shill it’s better because you don’t have to spend hours killing Yetis for their skins.
 
But…. These reason mean nothing to you do they?  Because at the end of the day I’m trying to get through to a guy that gets paid ( A great deal of money) to do artwork for WoW Strategy guides, and Collectable Card Games…. In the end he is just serving his master…. in a neutral, non- critical way of course.

    • High end players force developers to back down.
    • Uber Raiders and EQ Devs backing down every time they whine is the reason the vast majority of  folks left  EQ like Rats from a sinking ship.  They thought they would basically get the same treatment in WoW until one of their own (Tigole) basically gave them the finger.

      SOE is having issues keeping talent on the DC project, let alone in the company.  Combine that with their past track record and my expectations are really low for DC online.  Most likely it will be further ruined by micro transactions, in game advertising everywhere, addition subscription fees for some wacked out premium content model and half a dozen other lame money grabs.

       

       

       

      I don't know where you get your delusions laser brains.....

      The only folks that have left the DC online project is two dead weight EX SWG developers...they were shown the door.  Currently the project has some top talent that isn't going anywhere until the project ships at least.

      Aside from Jim Lee , they have Dave Parker Ex CoH developer and designer of some of the best missions in that game, as well as Jeff Smith Ex Bioware Wiz Kid, and Jon Sato of Squaresoft.  The project is well funded and well monitored by DC..it the sort of situation that Cryptic would have killed for, but the hitched their wagon to fickle Microsoft that kills every MMO that can not Guarantee WoW like subscribers and a development cycle of 24 months

      Yep Blizzard sent me one just last month for WoW..LOTRO sent me one back in Febuary .  Guess that's it for those companies as well...course  I don't see Qeues anymore for WoW, never have for LOTRO despite it being an awesome game..I do for AoC.

      Even if you have no problem with the company developing the game, the game's development history should worry you.  The DCUO development team has had at least four different lead designers and has been bleeding development team members from the beginning.  The only real stablility the development of the game has had is that Jim Lee (a comic book artist) has been the art director for the game, and is supposedly doing some writing as well.

      As an extra added bonus, two of the former lead designers are the guy who came up with the NGE combat system for Star Wars Galaxies (Dan "Om Nom Nom" Rubenfield) and the former lead designer of Star Wars Galaxies that a large chunk of the folks who currently play SWG hate, Kai Steinmann (Helios).  According to the rumor that has been posted to a couple gameing news sites (Gamasutra and Kotaku have posted it over a year ago), the game's creative direction is being directed by SOE's management, who vie the game as their potential flagship title, which has caused conflict with the folks on the development team, which in turn has cause a regular turnover of developers.

      The most likely result of the turnover in developers is that the game is going to be a mess.

       

       

      Former keyword former.  Rubenfield  will never again work for an established development house unless he funds it personally. Not only does half of the Veteran SWG community want to stomp a mud hole in his ass,  many of his former coworkers  would rather drink Bleach than be in the same room with him. The guys who are developing it now are some of the original CoH developers, as well as some of Arena.nets, and  Biowares Talent.  SOE is not steering the Creative direction of the game DC comics is, they will not under any circumstance let SOE fuck with their IP period.  I think what should happen is folks should actually let the game come out before starting the hate machine...I know I know it's SOE the great Satan...anyway from what I have seen the game looks like a lot of fun.
