AS WE ALL HAVE SEEN, BIOWARE "CAVED" TO FAN BASE DEMANDS!
(WHETHER IT BECAUSE OF GENUINE RAGE OR JUST AN UNDYING NEED TO TROLL)
AND HULK IS GLAD TO SEE THEY DID IT... ALTHOUGH SOMETHING IS STILL CREAKING IN THE BACK OF HULK'S MIND!
WHY THE **** DID IT TAKE SO LONG?
HULK IS GOING TO PRETEND FOR A MOMENT THAT EVERYONE THAT VIEWS THIS BLOG IS NEW TO THE HULK THING, NEW TO THE INTERNET, AND NEW TO MEDIA... SO HULK IS GOING TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS REAL QUICK!
FOR A WHILE NOW, MARKETING MUCH LIKE OUR NEWS CHANNELS HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM A FEW DISEASES! THE BIGGEST OF THE AILMENTS ARE THINGS LIKE SPEED! PROPER LONG TERM PLANNING! COMPETENCY! MARKETING THINGS PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY BE INTERESTED IN HEARING ABOUT! AND THE MOST DEADLY OF ALL....TROLLING
THINGS LIKE SPEED, PROPER PLANNING, AND INTEREST ARE CERTAINLY THINGS BIOWARE HAS BEEN GUILTY OF FOR MONTHS! HULK STILL HAS YET TO SEE A TRAILER THAT EXPLAINED THE STORY LINE FOR ME3.... AND WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT IF BIOWARE HAD ACTUALLY RESPONDED WHEN THE **** STORM WAS FIRST CREATED, THEN MAYBE THAT " EA IS THE WORST COMPANY IN AMERICA" THING MAY NOT HAVE EVER HAPPENED... OR AT LEAST BANK OF AMERICA WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE TITLE THEY HAVE SO RIGHTFULLY DESERVED!
SPEED IS SOMETHING HULK LOVES TO SEE! IT SHOWS THE AUDIENCE THAT NOT ONLY DID YOU READ THE MESSAGE, BUT YOU ACTUALLY HAD A RESPONSE TO IT! YOU WEREN'T AFRAID OF BEING SUED, BUT RATHER YOU HAD A GENUINE CARE AND MAYBE PERHAPS AN INTEREST IN THE AUDIENCE THAT SUPPORTS YOUR PRODUCT!
LONG TERM PLANNING IS SOMETHING EVERY GAME STUDIO AND MARKETING AGENCY IS IN SOME WAY GUILTY OF.... SOMEWHERE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS ALL INTEREST HAS SHIFTED FROM LONG TERM COMPANY GROWTH TO SHORT TERM INTEREST ONLY! AND AS SUCH WE MAY KNOW WHAT TO SAY RIGHT NOW IN THE PRESENT WHEN OUR HOT PRODUCT HAS JUST ENTERED THE MARKET...
BUT TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD THEY HAVE NO GOD **** CLUE! ... WELL EXCEPT OF COURSE RELEASING A GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION OR JUST CUTTING OFF A FEW DOLLARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PRICE!
ACTUALLY.... HULK REMEMBER SKYGUNNERS HOSTING TOURNAMENTS, VALKYRIA RELEASED A FEW STORIES.... DOT HACK EVEN RELEASED A LETTER OF GOODBYE, HOPING TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE THAT HAD OR HADN'T PLAYED THE GAME YET! MOST OF THIS STUFF WAS INCREDIBLY CHEAP TO HANDLE, AND THE RESPECT THEY GAINED WAS TANTAMOUNT!
COMPETENCY AND MARKETING THINGS PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE AN INTEREST IN, GO HAND IN HAND! WE NEED TO BRING IN PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE GAME, CAN THINK OF STUFF PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO SEE, AND ARE GIVEN THE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE A LITTLE!
WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING! WE CANNOT HAVE GAMES LIKE RAGE BEING ADVERTISED AS A SEXY NEW RPG WHEN NO RPG ELEMENTS EXIST! HULK CANNOT TOLERATE LIARS IN ANY FORMAT!
AND FINALLY... THE WORST SIN OF ALL.... TROLLING....
HULK UNDERSTAND THAT HULK IS PROBABLY THE WRONG PERSON TO BE TALKING ABOUT THIS... SINCE HULK IS A GAMIFIED PARODY! SMASHING AROUND , MAKING THINGS WORSE THROUGH QUESTIONABLE HUMOR...
BUT SQUARE ENIX NEEDS TO STOP SAYING BULLSH*T EVERY TWO WEEKS AND ACTUALLY RELEASE A GAME ALREADY! HULK SERIOUSLY DOUBTS THEY'LL HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT BY THE TIME THEY'RE READY TO RELEASE KINGDOM HEARTS 3.... THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS....
