... A "promise"?

Oh yeah... right. Because every single thing the devs have done in the game and commented on in the forums have been absolutely true to their original intent and description! What a great world we live in!


As for me, I like to point out to some of those commenters on various videos that not all games are for everyone. You don't like em, don't play em.

Candlejack is probably one of the most ridiculous and racist memes on the internet.

...I thought it was from an episode of Freakazoid...

[/ QUOTE ]Indeed, which is why it is absolutely ridiculous. (As it should be.) Now racist, OTOH, i just don't see. It's not like he was any apparent color or ethnicity other than "Sackheaded American", so saying that Candlejack is racist is j

After following the link to watch the 15th Anninversary video (which I thought was 'meh' myself - where is that one player who does those things, she rocks) I began reading the comments from that website about COX.

Seemed the majority commented on how the end character was Bison (a toon in Street Fighter) and how the graphics in the game were poor. A few did say they would play the game - if it were free, or that it was an awesome game - around issue 3.

Sometimes, for me at least, I spend too much time reading our boards and hearing what regular players feel about the game, and not hear different perspectives from people outside the game. Again, I just found that to be interesting.

"Perspectives" like the ones on the GameTrailers site tend to be prevalent (if you want similar perspectives, read the comments on NCsoftNorCal's YouTube profile, on any video they post there, or on Massively.com after any CoH article they do).

To quote Vaarsuvius from THE ORDER OF THE STICK, I'd swear that most of these people are "horrible, loathesome, supremely selfish creatures who behave contemptibly, laugh at the pain of others, have no manners whatsoever, and whose mental acuity would be compared unfavorably to that of a table."

Ergo, I tend to ignore most of what they say, because even when they have valid points (Reichsman looks like Bison, the graphics are dated, etc), they generally present their opinions in such a grossly stupid way.

Re: the trailer itself, David and the gang appear to be going for a consistent 'look' to the newer trailers for the game (see the Issue 14 trailer, the 5th anniversary 'shout-out' to the players, and the Mission Architect Tutorials), and all in all, it's a good trailer that covers all the bases of the new issue.

As for 'that one player who does those things', I think you're talking about me... to answer your question, I 'retired' from making CoH trailers just before Issue 14.

First of all, I love you because you quoted Order of the Stick. Secondly, I love you because your trailors were very good. Pull a Farve and unretire yourself please.

Before I forget my manners, then, thank you for being an ardent fan.

OotS is absolutely awesome, and as a gamer, there is so much truth and humour in that art for me.

Re: me pulling a Favre, if I do that, then no one will take me seriously. Not that people took me seriously BEFORE I retired, but you get the idea.

How can you say the graphics are dated? Have you guys not played WoW? That came looks like it belongs on a supernintendo. This game blows that game away graphically. No contest whatsoever.

The game IS dated. The engine is over 7 years old, it's fat and inefficient, it's lacking much of today's high-end technology, the models are relatively low-poly, our textures are rather small in many places, and the geometry clutter pales in comparison to many (non-MMO) games that came out in the last couple of years. It pales in comparison to the Unreal 3 engine, as an easiest example, and that engine runs FASTER on my machine.

I'm a fan of City of Heroes, believe me, but I'm not about to turn a blind eye to the game's faults. The question isn't whether the Cryptic Engine (which is what it's called) is dated or not. It is. It was dated back in 2004. The question is whether or not it looks good enough. And it does, for the most part. This is in no small part thanks to BABs and Jay (and minions) and their artistic talent and vision. A game's look is more than just the sum of its engine components. More than anything else, it's down to how good the designers and artists are, and I just happen to believe that ours are some of the best they are. They've taken this fat old engine and pulled off living miracles with it, creating both costume pieces and whole-sale NPCs with more style and punch than games with engines that were written yesterday.

City of Heroes looks amazing. That's not because of the technology the game is built on, but rather because of the people who build for it.
