WARNING POOR GRAMMAR READ AT OWN EXPENSE

Ok a few days ago my aunt bought me borderlands 2 and i thought that they finished the game to early and even after i finished some side quests and some main quests i was bored with quests that seem, repetitive and i have noticed a lot of game companies losing there way with classic games like resident evil before it was suspenseful and as time went on it is more action packed then it is horror and same with saints row the first 2 games where very good but the third one was just strayed far away from the serious part of the first 2 and the game became more of a joke then a serious action game with a story that was shorter then a call of duty team death match i could go more into detail but i don't no what to say the game industry for me any ways looks like its losing touch with what they where many years ago with good games like the Gears of War series and Dead Rising and Fallout & Elder Scrolls series, Mass Effect series but then again mass effect 1 was a very good game and all EA did was dum down the 2nd and 3rd game when it comes to quality and features , yes they did add some new features that were a good edition but removed some off the good features that where in the first game

I agree with Sepia. You can't criticize someone for being lazy when you, yourself, are too lazy to adhere to basic english grammer. Putting "READ AT OWN EXPENSE," is no excuse for making a lazy post. Especially when the post is criticizing "lazy" people.

 

Also it isn't the game companies who are lazy. It's the players who are lazy. You think they make those changes because they are lazy or that they don't care? Hardly. Most game development companies have whole departments dedicated to analysing how their profucts are doing and what features people like. Don't mistake a feature YOU don't as a feature that EVERYONE doesn't like.

 

In the end, it isn't even up to the game developers. It's up to the investors and if the investors say they want another cookie cutter COD then guess what? They are probably going to get it. Money doesn't grow on trees and video games are incredibly expensive to make.

Hah, are you kidding me right now?

 

Do you even know what goes on behind the doors of game companies?

They don't sit in a circle and just shit out a disk and a game.

It takes months and months of creation (unless it is a small indie company), and loads of people to create it.

 

To say they are lazy why you yourself cannot take the time to learn proper grammar and correct sentence structure, then who is the one at fault here?

I bet it took more time to format the "Grammar Warning" header, than it would have took to write this with reduced solecism.

Question 1: Is English your first language?

Yes: Proceed to question 2.

No: Then you are excused.

Question 2: Do you have a medical condition, effecting the arms, that makes it troublesome to type?

Yes: You are excused.

No: You have no excuse for this...thing... you call a blog post.

*sigh*

 

Listen. Don't take this the wrong way, but if you "don't care 4 grammar" then you shouldn't write a blog post to begin with. The point of writing is to get a point across, and if you "don't care 4 grammar", then that makes what you write an eyesore to those who read it. You say you're good with art, so I'll put it like this: If I lazily slopped a gallon of paint on a canvas and expected you to look at it and see it as a dog, that would be annoying, wouldn't it? My point wouldn't really reach you at all.

 

Your opinion can't really be expressed to others easily when they have a hard time trying to figure out what you said to begin with. I'm not saying this as an insult. I'm just trying to explain why people are complaining about your spelling and grammar. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to justify being a "Grammar Nazi". I'm saying that you should at least care about the language you're trying to write in for the sake of those who are reading it.

People can hate me all they want its just an opinion and nothing more and my grammar has nothing to do with it

 

It has everything "to do with it" -- how is one to take an opinion seriously, if the author cannot show that he cares enough to write it using correct syntax and grammar? It shows the writer of said opinion is rather apathetic towards his own viewpoint.

I... I... just.... what?

 

You do know the entire reason proper grammar is taught in schools, don't you? The purpose of education is to teach you things to use in life. Not just in school.

LOL ARE YOU KIDDING?

 

Putting "Read At Your Own Expense" at the top is no exuse for bad grammar nor is it a way to get out of the blame area for laziness. You, sir, have just fucked my mind at the incompetence of your own self titling that has been put on video game companies hence you.

 

*cough* Bloody useless *cough*

Is this a classroom or something? Are we in school right now?

 

Anyway... Since I'll be the only one posting on the actual subject I would say companies have become lazy when it comes to having new ideas. Not necessarily with the actual product they put out.

 

But I very much like Nintendo, I feel they're the only company that really keeps creativity on the forefront.

Thank you

 

Finally someone who answered my question and didn't worry about my dam grammar thank you and i think the same way here Nintendo is the last good hope for the industry full of repetitive first person shooters and games that don't deliver what the developer promises

 

Thank you very very much

Guys. As much as he appreciates you trying to incentivize him to have better grammar, he did give you a warning. Are you going to blame the power company if you electrocute yourself? You can't, since you're dead and also because they have a sign. Though I do recommend Techno to get an editor, since they'll just grammar you're post up. Now the people won't go off topic, and you can get your point across.

 

1) Borderlands 2 is a loot driven game. That's the appeal. It's about fantastic art, a pretty good story and loot. Lots and lots of loot. You're missing the point of the game.

 

2) Saint's Row the Third is all kinds of ridiculous That doesn't mean it's a lazy development. It's just not your niche.

 

3) Mass Effect 2 was fantastic. And Mass Effect 3 was even better (except the ending). What did they remove that was good?

 

All in all, the games industry is not lazy as much as you're not it's target audience. And I'm in the same boat. I want more tactical, grand strategy political conspiracy games. But that's not what everyone else wants.

Dear god who cares about his grammar he was just asking a question and you just worry about his dam grammar why don't u just answer the question or go away and take your hate some where else.

 

And yes i do think there getting lazier with less time making the games making promises that they don't keep and the only good company left is Nintendo even if there on life support
