Bad publicity is still publicity.

To be fair though, GAF does have it's moments but Dyack needs to stfu.

1.1 - Indeed.

The publicity isn't getting to me, nor is his foolishness to be honest, but for the sake of the man's sanity...he needs to just put a sock in it already.

He's only making it worse for himself.

Dyack is seriously digging his own grave, he just needs to STFU. People keep calling this game the Haze of the 360 because it was way overhyped, and he is still overhyping the game when most of the reviewers are giving it an average to below average score.

God Denis Dyack sure takes sh** personally...hes just making himself look like a complete idiot, certainly not a president/founder of a game company and he looks so stupid by being as immature as the people ripping on the game.

btw Too Human sucks Denis, get over it and try to make the next one better.

It's a shame too. I loved some of their early titles and now after the media circus we are seeing these days with Denis, it is evident that he is just another developer blowhard. Bummer.

I think the best promoters are the ones that don't say or show anything about their game and then just drops a trailer like a bomb.

It gives you the surprise-"Huh? Who are these guys? Wtf!?"-reaction which I like very much =)

At the moment some developers expose their games too much. Sometimes it makes you feel as if you've already played the game before it's out. It kind of gets boring before you even have played it, if you know what I mean? Like there's nothing left to discover for yourself.

Nice conversation btw =)

Yeah developers should let thier games talk for them not the other way around.

He's lost the plot.

I have sympathies for the game because I really want to love it despite its flaws.

But I've no sympathy for this guy at all, who deserves as much flak as he's gonna get.

All this ranting and raving is doing neither him or the game any good. You can't force your opinion on others.

12 - Are we and the reviewers ALL wrong?

This is one enstranged man against the world, took 10yrs to make a crappy game, the reason for the mass downloads was the high expectations and the curiousness of gamers to see what its actually like and its a huge fail.

No buy for me thanks!

16 - To be honest...

GAF is over-rated, its filled with the same fanboys and fools that plague this site too. Everyone thinks they are an expert, and everyone throws their opinion around like it matters. Which in itself is not a bad thing I guess, but when it becomes jaded with Fanboy over tones then those opinions become far less valuable.

I understand Dyack's frustration, but unfortunately forums ultimately are impossible to battle against. You just need to ignore.

I am still getting the game as I enjoyed the demo, but I full respect that this game will not appeal to all.

I was thinking the same thing! The combat is never really satisfying either.Id buy it for 20 quid though.probably good for one play through.I know its off topic but could we get some more project origin news on this site? I think that game is gonna be a sleeper hit.

Man.. as a 360 supporter, I really hope MS scraps the TH trilogy deal with SK. Denis is a moron and doesn't realize when to stfu. It's one thing if he's got stuff to back it up but TH sucked and he just can't take it like a man. Denis, stop wasting MS's funds so they can fund better games on better devs that don't b1tch at the fans, or at Epic for failing to use one of the easiest engines in the industry.. Even Japanese devs like Square can use it fine.

I also feel shame since I'm a fellow Canadian, and also reside in Ontario. Damn, I have to share the same province with such a sore loser. Good thing we still have Bioware. Keep on making ports SK, and move to somewhere not Canada please.

it doesnt matter if its "the worst forum", arguing with people on internet forums is still childish, and especially for a game developer (who happens to be like 40 something)
oh and dennis, you got "Owned by the GAF"
