Bobby Kotick thinks Bungie is the "last remaining high quality independent developer" - Games

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24945128]I worry about this mans health.[/QUOTE] I don't....ಠ_ಠ

[QUOTE=TheTalon;24945502]Well, for starters, before the first Halo was even released Microsoft acquired them, second, before Halo, their only decent game was Myth, and since then, they've only focused on that over-hyped Same old game for the past 5 times Halo[/QUOTE] I think that was more Microsoft's fault than Bungie's, though. I mean, Microsoft IS pretty much tied with Activision for the "biggest douchebags in the gaming industry" award. and I think Bungie has been yearning for a new IP to work on since Halo 2.

So according to Kotick, Independent = Not being owned by activision. Right. Whatever you say. [editline]10:46PM[/editline] Seriously, the guy's fucking deranged. Or maybe he just has a [b]lot[/b] of faith in the stupidity of his fanbase.

okay , got this organized : meet up at my house midnight grab rifles do some internet stalking take plane to america find bobby kotick's house shoot his heart until there is nothing left .. which shouldn't take long

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24944225]So, in your opinion, he has actually done something that would warrant a painful death? Jesus, people really resort to LOL KILL HIM a lot nowadays.[/QUOTE] People generally don't mean the things they say on the internet.

[QUOTE=Snuffy;24944909]I think Notch should be the one to punch this guy in the face.[/QUOTE] This. He doesn't even know WTF an indie developer is. Indie devs, imho, only have [B]one[/B] [I]small[/I] team, and only have a few games. All of those other companies, such as Bungie, Valve, etc., are NOT indie, they have HUGE team[B]s[/B].

Bobby Kotick is wrong.

But to pump out the same game over and over year after year, Not going to happen. It's why I don't like EA or Activision, Atleast EA put out a few unique titles in the last couple years

[QUOTE=Generic_Monk;24945717]Seriously, the guy's fucking deranged. Or maybe he just has a [b]lot[/b] of faith in the stupidity of his fanbase.[/QUOTE] Probably both.

Who cares what assface thinks anymore?

[QUOTE=Instant Mix;24946049]okay , got this organized : meet up at my house midnight grab rifles do some internet stalking take plane to america find bobby kotick's house [B]shoot his heart[/B] until there is nothing left .. which shouldn't take long[/QUOTE] I think I see a flaw in your plan.

[QUOTE=Rubs10;24945313]Yeah, so fucking great that they continue to make games just to milk their customers. Quit sucking dick Kotick.[/QUOTE]Uh, isn't that the point.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;24948166]I think I see a flaw in your plan.[/QUOTE] Well we obviously can't aim for the brain.

Kotick is going to ruin the gaming industry at this rate.

[QUOTE=Murdoco;24948669]Well we obviously can't aim for the brain.[/QUOTE] HE HAS NO WEAKNESSES AAAAAAAHHHHH Frankly, I think Bungie is certainly one of the best developers out there, but THE best? I don't think such a specific statement can be applied to any one company. Not even Valve.

That's ridiculous, and actually quite sad. They could do so much better.

Kotick will hopefully die in a fire.

Bungies decent and all, but "Last remaining high quality independent developer"? No.

VALVE?! I think Gabe should sit on his face

[QUOTE=Generic_Monk;24948863]Actually yeah, Bungie have been working on the Halo series exclusively for over 11 fucking years. That's ridiculous, and actually quite sad. They could do so much better. [editline]01:06AM[/editline] The Halo series has been mediocre for every game after the first one.[/QUOTE] Did you even play any after the first one? I thought Halo 3 was probably the worst of the five, but that even added a ton of new features that people like.

[QUOTE=Sergeyev;24948942]VALVE?! I think Gabe should sit on his face[/QUOTE] that is a punishment unfit for any man so yeah its fine for kotick

[quote][b] meanwhile, kotick has expressed a wish to sell repackaged in-game cutscenes to gamers as $30 movies.[/b][/quote] what?!

"Meanwhile, Kotick has expressed a wish to sell repackaged in-game cutscenes to gamers as $30 movies." What?

[QUOTE=Murdoco;24948669]Well we obviously can't aim for the brain.[/QUOTE] Obviously, we have to hit the wallet. It's his phylactery/horcrux.

[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;24949133]"Meanwhile, Kotick has expressed a wish to sell repackaged in-game cutscenes to gamers as $30 movies." What?[/QUOTE] I really hope that's just a joke

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24949177]I really hope that's just a joke[/QUOTE] I have some bad news for you... [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1001904[/url]

all of you are idiots game's change and just because halo:combat evolved and after wasn't exactly like how you wanted it to be does not mean halo is horrible GROW UP and yeah kotick is truly stupid and greedy

[QUOTE=texanderson;24949310]all of you are idiots game's change and just because halo:combat evolved and after wasn't exactly like how you wanted it to be does not mean halo is horrible GROW UP[/QUOTE] I was about to type something serious then i saw your avatar and Live profile, lol'ed and now i'm just typing this.

[QUOTE=Micr0;24943376]Goddamnit Kotick don't drag Bungie into this.[/QUOTE] too late, Acitivision now kinda owns bungie (after MS contact expires) Why do you think he would talk positive about anything? Either way, no matter what he says it's just a load of ignorance that makes no sense. Note: Bobby Kotick hates video games At least this thread supplies me with a picture that I can now use to replace my practice target for airsofting
