Ashes Cricket 2013 General Discussion

BRAB said:
Ross put forward his experience in the past using his current marketing technique. You said it isn't anything to be proud about as the videos were late. This was obviously an attempt to discredit Ross's marketing tactics. I explained how it cannot be late as it hasn't broken any promised dates, and explained that you made arbitrary assumptions in regards to what constitutes something being late. An example of a late something would be, for example, not meeting a RELEASE DATE (A* word cough cough)

The focal point of the discussion is Ross's Marketing tactics, you attempted to infer that he had nothing to be proud about as his videos were "late". I explained why your point held no ground.

And why I tried to explain that is beyond me, it really isn't worth it.

Playing games around semantics is silly.

There is no good reason for there to be no gameplay footage if the game is finished and Bigant has been hyping it on this site for the best part of a year.

I don't expect it to, but I also don't expect someone to be ridiculed and called a troll for suggesting that it is strange and to seem like something is up. The truth may well be different, your reasons and marketing plan may be valid and tested - but there's not many giving Trickstar the benefit of the doubt at this point either.


And you're calling Mike Fegan 'Sanders' as a response to his appearance in a video of him openly communicating after making mistakes - albeit using a different forum to put that out there.

I should be clearer, Thanks MattW. I just don't consider that as open as what Ross is doing. Mike Fegan has a lot more time to consider his response and a chance to script his reply. Ross's replies are a lot more unscripted and emotional which is more impressive in my opinion.

I concede it was wrong of me to neglected to mention Mike's attempts to communicate and my statement should of read:

Ross manner of communication is a lot more open in my opinion and he is the only one who has remained on PC despite his mistakes

Let's be clear, Ross has released separate CA updates by adding new features earlier than expected. He then released screenshots when it was least expected, he released screenshots just to lift off mood by Ashes saga. He also has released so much game information almost daily and not to forget the recent video. Now what you people don't know is he released all these before starting a market campaign i.e It is all PC exclusive, there haven't been any media released officially outside PC. Yet people are so greedy to ask everything even though we should be lucky to get the info before world does. All these have been done by Ross before marketing campaign is just for the sake of cricket gaming fans who has been disappointed all these years. He communicate with us like a normal cricket fan here daily and provide us the satisfaction by answering ALL our queries without asking ANYTHING in return. HE DOESN'T OWE US ANYTHING. Yet our greed increases rapidly. If you can't thank him for creating a game by listening to fans than atleast don't disrespect him.

You Aint patient then you aint getting $h!tt u know. At the end W.E info's we r getting right now, might nt be given at some point. Good t Be limited sometimes, cause you just cant eat all the $*** together at a same time ! ( no offense ) just take it as a quote, t everybody.
 
I think you did... and it is true that I shouldn't have followed you with it... I admit I was laughing when it came on Facebook and I should apologise for that.

I would say Yes if the world (cricket games) is about to burn and we have to take leap of faith by trusting Big Ant when there is no other alternative.

Doesn't work for you though, you'll just be standing there questioning why sheep's can't run faster or do dolphins sleep?
 
I don't want to close this thread temporarily but we're way off topic and it's getting too heated.

I want to leave the "why no gameplay videos?" issue for now as well. Whether people agree with the decision or not Ross has made it clear that gameplay videos will not appear till the month of release so we're going to keep going round in circles on that one otherwise.

Asking questions is fine. Asking the same questions incessantly because you don't like the answer is not.

Apologies if I was "playing semantics". Please explain how that comment should have been interpreted.

Please give a well reasoned, thought out explanation as to why there is no good reason for Big Ant to not release a gameplay video as of yet.
