Game News Wasteland 2 Interview and Official Blog Update

Can we just leave the GD shit where it belongs?

Well I'm sure any "Sane" businessman (oxymoron), of which I assume you mean "great" businessman, which would be a person who disregards any form of niche and is only interested in making the big bucks, would gladly have turned Wasteland 2 into a FPS with bromance and day 1 DLC and totally disregarded the fans of the original, and not to mention the Fallout fans who seem to be counting on him as well.

James Cameron is a staunch liberal and his movies dominate the market. So yeah, people who want to create things their own way, without allowing themselves to alter their visions for the sake of the almighty dollar figure have a bit more steam in their engines than the average "sane" Republican businessman.

EDIT#24: You know, I'm going to leave politics out of this, even though you opened that door initially.

But it is funny that you mention James Cameron, who's been "streamlining" his movies since 1998 to appeal to broader audience. Titanic was a sort of a tipping point. The man who brought us Terminator 1/2, The Abyss, and Aliens, most recently gave us CGI Pocahontas with the most yawn-worthy and childish plot imaginable. Visual spectacle at expense of everything else. Avatar - the Call of Duty of movies.

Truly, he's not on a hunt for a mighty dollar, but following his diverse creative genius.

It's a good thing you edited the political stuff out because I was about to mention ORCA and what a big massive failure that was and how that was a clear sign of a competence deficiency.

 

[shihonage]

It's a good thing you didn't mention that. Clearly it took some self-restraint.
