I've always felt that we live in the Bizzaro alternate universe to a normal place with a vibrant, robust RPG industry where BIS and Troika prospered, Todd Howard works in a comics shop and Hines is selling used cars.Beelzebud said:Anyone else find it rather sad that you have one company, Interplay, that could make amazing games, but had shitty marketing; and another company, Bethesda, that makes shitty games, but has amazing marketing?
If only Black Isle had been owned by someone who knew what the fuck they were doing on the business side of things, the gaming landscape would look quite different today.
I'd rather have Pete Hines selling BIS and Troika RPGs. Say what you will about him, but he seems to be pretty damn good at what he does.Cimmerian Nights said:I've always felt that we live in the Bizzaro alternate universe to a normal place with a vibrant, robust RPG industry where BIS and Troika prospered, Todd Howard works in a comics shop and Hines is selling used cars.

He reminds me of a politician. He stays on message and hammers away at this talking points, never deviating. Spin, spin, spin. He'd make a good presidential press secretary.Scorpius said:I'd rather have Pete Hines selling BIS and Troika RPGs. Say what you will about him, but he seems to be pretty damn good at what he does.
I'm actually not that impressed by their facemen. Pete and Todd aren't very well-spoken, and they do make errors. Pete in particular says some silly things. And Emil gives me the creeps.Cimmerian Nights said:He reminds me of a politician. He stays on message and hammers away at this talking points, never deviating. Spin, spin, spin.

He's well scripted, they all are.

Who the hell does the guy think he is?
It is not so much the fact that he comments on Halo ODST as MS really did shuffle with this thing, from a budget release to a full retail priced game, but more that Cheng seems to focus on any game that somewhat competes with Bethesda's releases for popular purchases.
