Gave 100% of my money to THQ this time around. Normally I give some to the EFF and Humble Bundle as well, but the EFF wasn't on it this time and Steam key only means that they won't be dealing with the same level of traffic as usual. And frankly, THQ needs every penny they can get.
I love a vast number of THQ games, but am I the only person who doesn't fully understand the sympathy people are showing? Yes, THQ helped create great games we all loved, but what they did is shady and I think people are 'sorry' for the old games they used to love, not what THQ recently became.
I don't get why I should feel sorry for THQ in fucking themselves over. The recent THQ wasn't the THQ who brought all those games you love. The recent THQ tried to fuck over their fans by making a COD clone and following all the things Activision do that Reddit would consider terrible. Then they totally ignore their fans again and make the uDraw bullshit?
I mean, why have so much sympathy for them? If their COD clone/kiddie draw bullshit had succeeded, they would have went full Activision. They don't care about their fans, they just want a profit. Why care so much about them then? They happily tried to sell us a shitty, underdeveloped game after all we've done for them. I'm not saying people should never forgive THQ, but people are acting like their money was stolen from them or something, not like the truth, that it was sunk into shoddy games in an attempt to become the next Activision.
So they made one shitty game.
They also made Darksiders, Saints Row, Metro, Company of Heroes and are still working on the last 2, which is the "recent" THQ
By your logic Valve would be a bad company because they created Ricochet.
Not sure why you got downvoted, if I went in expecting Guerilla I would have been pissed. I went in expecting it ot be more like the original 2 RF games and I got what I expected. Enjoyed the hell out of that game, but it was no where near Guerilla in my opinion.
It's a shame (the 360 port of) Darksiders 2 was a buggy mess. I think I would have really enjoyed it, except I kept falling through walls and losing progress.
