Dragon Rising has been released

[-RIP- Luhgnut 10]

I mod Doom

I rule.

Bow down to me naive.

I think you may have missed the point (excellent post by the way). Niche or Crappy games often attract the most diehard fans. Templar's undying love for OFP: DR stems from the fact he is the sole shining light of that community. Both the devs and the small community heap praise on him which in turn makes him even more dedicated to modding a game. All modders, myself included, get off a little on the attention we receive from release. Now imagine you are the only one modding a particular game. This makes you the sole focus of the community no matter how small. I think this is a much more likely reason than CM hiring the guy.

But in the end its still like Bernini carving statues out of a pile of shit.

maybe but he's still a god to the flies swarming around the pile.

In the end, all of it doesn't matter, because the masquerade was quite successful until the release date. They just tried to get the best out of the crap they produced over the past several years, and you can say they were successful with the misleading and the selling of the "game".

I'd love to have those marketing guys in my company, if I had one :D

They borrowed them from Nvidia...

No doubt, this person has been the champion of DR and if this is where he gets his much needed attention, so be it. Negative attention seems to be acceptable too, him coming to this forum is like the game "whack a mole", he is the mole and pops his head up here and gets a mallet to the noggen. I guess it's like a drug addiction, once the attention he craves is not coming from his familiar place, the attention here will have to do even if it means being rake across the coals. Calling everyone here a D_ _ K showed his colours. DR will be remembered for the fail that it is. Some may like it, but the fact remains it was not well received by most gamers and was a real disappointment.

He needs to find a girlfriend.

[andersson 285]

Dont we all..

[Bulldogs 10]

I don't, I need to get rid of one.

Any takers?

She can't cook, she can't clean, but she can.... um.. she's a girl

This thread is good for a laugh:

CM trying to kill the game off completely in readiness for a sequel?

LOL Ãœber Soldier AI.^^

Then you also have this. Man alive were Codemasters ever lazy. I'd heard reports of the models being exactly the same for the PLA and USMC, but I never saw proof. But they are. The only difference is the textures. It's unbelievable. :rolleyes:

[Madus_Maximus 0]

The fail keeps coming thick and fast. It's the only thing prolonging the games lifespan, people looking for all the half assed poorly made crap and limitations. If this game does get a sequel (which apparently it's getting) then let's hope someone makes a counter marketting campaign to show what this one is like, maybe people will think twice.

I said this when the game first came out and was largely ignored lol...oh well that's just pure lazyness.

Well, could have been worse. If there wasn't for this one odd guy smarter than the whole CM military adviser department you'd have the Chinese dressed up in police uniforms.

now it's a pixel hunt and the "answer" is to put an X over the enemy. So what, "O" is friendly, "X" is enemy? Then you could show the tether and you would have "Dragon Rising: Operation Tic-Tac-Toe"

Please don't give them any ideas for even more simple gameplay. Although I admit, tic-tac-toe does require more usage of the brain than DR does (certainly against an opponent that doesn't need 30 minutes of scripting to do more than stand there and lag behind with their aiming).

[MrBump 10]

Hmmm someone should post a poll in the consoles section of that site "How much would you pay for bug/gameplay fixes?" It might show CM how much money they could make out of doing so! :rolleyes:

I wonder how many people would still be stupid enough for that. I mean sure, both games were flawed at release, but at least BIS is patching and adding things for free, with CM you pay for everything twice ... and it still won't work. Not even to mention "work as advertised" ...

[Tonci87 163]

No Please don´t....

on PC patches and DLC are free, on consoles patches are free, DLC is not. and BIS dont have a game on the consoles so you cant compare them on that system

[MrBump 10]

Don't worry, I'm sure the lowest option would be "first born child". :D

The personal attacks (on both sides) stop right now or we end that 'discussion'. This thread is about the sunken dragon as a game, not about its community members or developers.
