Worst Release ever!!

MightyBildo · 05-21-2009, 06:54 PM

Hi, I've been waiting for this game, never played before, but this is ridiculus. Almost June and no game? I've already played diamond and mogul. Would like to play this game, but think I'll move on to strategy after playing other baseball sims.

Maybe they should release earlier to compete with others. Sorry to say they lost a new customer here.

So, after one post, you decided the game is not for you because it is not out on time? Have you ever owned or pre-ordered a Blizzard product?
I have been involved in many games, for many years and this, far and away, is the only place I have seen the developers first want to develop an enjoyable experence, second, they want to do it right, meaning less ptahces for us. Just because the game is not out because it is 9 to 10 days until June is very narrow minded.

Maybe it's just a plant. Looks like the work of a rhododendron to me!!!!

I shall await your thread entitled, "Best Release Ever!!" on the day of release.

StyxNCa · 05-21-2009, 07:30 PM

What I find funny is he titled the thread Worst Release Ever but then he says he hasn't ever played the game before, so technically, for him, it is the worst release ever.

Now, if he had a sunny personality his view would be Best Release Ever.

Okay. Lack of communication costs money.

You will be sorry.

A crazy post. I have also played Mogul2010 and it could just as easily be called Mogul 2009. While Mogul makes all kinds of patches after release the game has major flaws that have been around for a long time. He played Diamond??

Diamond announced 2010 about 1 yr ago and that is the last i have heard.

I would imagine that Markus wants to delay the release so that he can't collect any $ thus saving on having to pay taxes.

hmmm... this post will likely be removed soon. I got the clock on it...

1st off - it makes sense
2nd - it is logical
3rd (where it all goes wrong) - you called this potential future most likely customer noob "very narrow minded".

Under the new policy this simply won't fly...

none of the posts I've put on here in the last week have... and the worst thing I said was to tell some guy Stain to grow muscles... a clear violation apparently.

Me too!

This is "ridiculus"! (that's what the OP said)

I usually ignore these threads, but this one made me laugh out loud.

Ridiculus indeed...

Thanks for the input MightyBilbo. Oh, and how's your job at Baseball Mogul going? Say hi to Clay for me!

And this is the point that all the fanboys seem to miss. Again, us fringe players are who they should be targeting and the lack of much of any meaningful communication is a serious turn-off. If you can't realize that, then, well, there's just no discussing it.

This is a good point. The "fanboys", as they are lovingly referred to, will continue to buy the game no matter what. Markus can come out and say, gee, we are going to be delayed until September and those extremely loyal people will just say, well, ok, that'll be fine. Anyone else would just say forget it. I gave it a chance but it isn't worth it.
