Guys creepier than me who try to move in on my ladies and expect me to not know what they're up to.

Yeah, i know. That's one thing that ticks me off and just sucks so bad. In germany, they have stopped using the "Scharfe S" or b and they have changed it to a "ss" in spelling words. likewise in other countries there has been a push to get rid of ? ? ? and in some former soviet countries, they have switched from thier original Cyrillic alphabet to the Latin alphabet. They do this all to make it more "commerce friendly with other countries" but we all know they do it to make it more "america friendly." Trust me guys, americans are dummies who don't even finish high school. we're going down soon and you don't want to strip yourselves of your identities for our sake. keep the umlauts, keep the essets keep that kooky little O with a line through it (norway) and the a with a circle over it (swedes). It pisses me off that they are taking away what makes them... them.

-People who have no taste in games. They can play some utter crap and think it is cool because there are excess amount of spraying blood and extra loud sounds, but they can never see quality and effort.

What ticks me off is that there are people out there that spout things like "you must have hundreds of people in order to make a good game." That is a lie. You can make a great game with as little as twelve. Now when only one person makes a game, it does tend to suffer, only because you don't have a "council" of game developers voting and what seems good and bad and to help create design shortcuts.

And just now, I saw a commercial for Collins Collage that said the same thing, "you must have hundreds of people to make a game." My anger increases with every commercial.

Well, to create a commercially viable game, particularly for next gen systems, you DO need sizeable teams. Hundreds is still a bit of an exaggeration (not that games DON'T use such sized teams, but most are still under 100 people), but 12 is very few for a commercial game. You CAN make a good game on your own, or with a team of 4, or whatever. But if you want to make a game with next-gen quality graphics, presentation, sound effects, music, and the like, you are gonna have to have a significantly sized team.

Also, designing games by council is generally regarded as a bad idea - the vision becomes less coherent and more diluted. Obviously you want the others on the team to have input on the project, but the decisions shouldn't come down to votes - it should be the lead designer's decision that is final. Unless the lead designer is an idiot <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

What I was refering to as "council" was the idea that the developers share their ideas and end up creating a game that is more than what the origanal creator imagined. For instance, they have brainstorming sessions in which they go about determining the best way to pull off a scene or figure out which weapons would be the best suited for the style of game. One or two people would have to rely on the criticism of others who may not know what the engine is capable of or what the whole point of the game is. Not to mention spend possibly several years on it. Behind every game, there is that group of people who esentually are the game, because in truth its majority rule, with the origanal creator inspiring the most influence. I'm just saying, I'm tired of people not doing any research before they start pushing wring accusations. There are so many game dev forums out there with people looking for a little help with making their first game, when all of a sudden, people start blowing them off with "you have to have over a hundred people on a team to create a game." Look at some of the stuff universities pull off with award winning indie games.

I should have metioned this first, this was a remark toward indie and commercial in generl. I know that comercial games use a large team while indie games tend to use anywhere from 12 to 25.

New thing to add to the list, I hate it when I'm too vague with my thread topics and the thread inadvertantly slowly evolves into an illeagal blocked thead. If only I could turn back time, I really wanted to see those poll results. Oh well, damage done.

only had about 3 programmers, a few graphics artists and sound engineers and a mapper (Or 2)

id ... id is the only people who've ever made Doom. And they only contracted out Quake IV to Raven, which, I'm sorry, it's a cool game, but how the hell does it make 6/10 for the best games of 2005 exactly!?

That pissed me off ... image


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

People who lack the ability to reason, people who don't try hard enough at the gym and most of all people who take take take, but won't give back.

So in other words: "Americans?" $loth? They sue schools because thier kids are fat and get hit by the ball when we play dodgeball in american gym class. They don't reason out that thier kids are fat because they have banned physical activity in gym class and they have the TV babysit thier kids. They sue everyone to get easy money for stupid reasons and they never give back until they themselves are sued for a stupid reason.

I love being who i am and where I am, but gosh darn it, I'm REALLY starting to get ticked off at my fellow americans.

I don't have a clue if that's the right saying but hey...

You're actually being serious that P.E has been 'banned' or that american kids can get out of it easily? *hugs gym membership card*
