Poor Marketing/Release on PS4/xbox1?

[blockerdave]

This thread makes for very poor reading. Tempted to just close it so it die in peace.

Quick forum rules reminder:
Don't attack other members - this includes calling the idiots however justified you feel you are in that assertion
Don't post when you haven't got anything useful to say - usually prevents the above from happening as well...

I realise that it's too much to ask people to stick to facts but maybe we could leave out the more egregious examples of "making shit up".

when i have the second to last post before you were prompted to write this I can't help but feel offended

 

[barmyarmy]

i was writing this post in my head before I got close to reading yours

Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it is worth listening too. It seems that you haven't listened too/read anything so why should we bother with your opinion?

Considered opinions are always appreciated - eg. MattW's comments about social media. But saying 'Big Ant have been rough about their publishing strategy' clearly indicates you don't have a clue.

Well then don't bother reading what I write. The only reason some people like you don't see the rough publishing strategy of BigAnt is because you are too busy licking their @sses like you will get free 100 copies of the game or something. How are you not going to agree that their publishing strategy is pathetic? Do you know what the release date is? It is the 2nd day of the month when the game is going to release and yet no date is known. Until you tell me the release date, it clearly indicates that you are just licking BigAnt's behind because you have no release date to back them up kid.

Can this piss poor excuse for a discussion thread just be closed? It's worse than the release date thread.

It's just two people making stuff up, and they refute evidence given to disprove their claims. There is literally no discussion going on

Same thing goes for you. You have nothing to back you up so don't even argue back. Unless the release date is released, the strategy will remain pathetic.

You cant argue with the above guys post

I know you blokes are sticking up for ross and no problems with that, but now from what ross says this is out of his hands, its now in tru blu's hands and with 27 days in march left, im a little concerned

one thing i will say is if this game doesnt release in march, a few of you internet tough boys might owe some people an apology, and im pointing directly at SNOWYCASANOVA!!

These people can argue all they want in defense of BigAnt but we all know they are just sucking BigAnt's behind because they don't got anything to back themselves up, not even BigAnt. What developer in the world is not concerned about the release date of their product when it is already the month when the game is planned to release?

Snowy's done nothing wrong. He's stuck to the facts. As have most of the rest of us.

If the game doesn't release on time (and I think it will release late march) that's to do with TruBlu or other factors out of their hands. No need to apologise.

 

[madman981]

No. The thread started because someone was too lazy to find out if there was going to be a PS4/XB1 version or not. Then they tried to make up statistics in an attempt to hide how horribly misinformed they are, just like you.

You don't know what you're talking about

I am really starting to dislike this bloke....

i dont see how you can sit here and bag everyone out when deadlines look to be continually not met

Snowy I want to know what your official opinion of late March deadline is, will it be released then or not in your highly educated, arrogant, higher than though opinion??

Why would he answer? He is BigAnt's personal pet. He won't say a thing against them

He has openly and continually abused people when they express an opinion of A FORUM!!!!

are you for real, if i knew this bloke in real life and he spoke to me the way the tough guy is speaking on this forum i would break his nose!!!

Its an opinion.... simple as that

and I was at the Melbourne Premiere, Im the biggest supporter of big ant and this game, Ive played it, I know its going to be great, But if I want to express an opinion of my concerns on the Late March deadline then i reserve the right to do it without Snowy getting on here and calling me all sorts of names....

You seem like a real nice guy. You'd break a person from an internet forum's nose if you met them in real life, just for speaking his opinion, backed up by facts.

Can you show me an example of when he's called you all sorts of names? You're hardly holier than thou either towards him. It's an Internet forum. We're hardly going to be sitting in a circle making daisy chains.

Also, you are being incredibly hypocritical. Slating a guy for having an opinion and then backing your side up by saying you have a right to an opinion.

 

[madman981]

Im extremely frustrated at continually waiting with limited release information and snowy felt like a great target after reading this forum for a few hours today.... it made me wanna break his nose... yes

@madman981 Stick with the facts. It's all I've done. Fact is, individuals in this thread were making numbers up and are unaware of the history of Big Ant/Tru Blu releases

If you're such a massive fan of Big Ant, then you would know March is still achievable given their release history. My opinion on them hitting late March means absolutely nothing. Just like your opinion means absolutely nothing. Facts are the latest information said the end of March. And there is literally nothing that has confirmed otherwise

----------

Same thing goes for you. You have nothing to back you up so don't even argue back. Unless the release date is released, the strategy will remain pathetic.

Actually, I do. Past Big Ant/Tru Blu games have released 3 to 4 weeks after the official release date announcement. It has worked for them in the past.

AFL Live - Announced 27th March for 21st April - 25 days

It is literally a fact, and you seem to keep ignoring it?

Will you be kind enough to post the links to those facts then?
I am not attacking you or anyone here, I am just saying that this is a very pathetic publishing process from BigAnt. I haven't told anyone to agree with me or want anyone to agree with me but I had people attacking me on this opinion which got me started with replies of all sort. The only fact until now is that we only have 4 weeks left in this month and no release date is known. Any good/responsible game developer would follow up with their publisher and see where it is going wrong. Heck, no one from BigAnt haven't even replied in this forum which further proves how irresponsible they are.

 

[Snowy]

And your opinion is based on a serious lack of knowledge, and a total reliance on assumptions and guesses.

So you are not getting free stuff from Ross, wait videos/Beta and other juice news. Plus his award winning comedy posts.

PS I am sometimes annoyed not knowing if i can pick the game up soon but in the end there is nothing we can do about it. Good things come to people who can wait. Peace. Hoping for some good news this week.
