Bad marketing and Fury …

by

This is one of the things I like with games. The developers urge to satisfy every gamer. Every developer has to be inovative and satisfy our lust for more.

But why is that? Why arent we satisfied with what we got?
Does it always have to be new sound, cooler graphics, and better weapons?
I know I want it … and once in a while I get it.

The bad thing on the other hand …is poor marketing.
You know how the developers always tempt us with what is new and better but they seldom tell us how it is better and why …

I don’t know about you, but I am really tired of hearing “this game revolutionizes the market yada yada yada” and find out that this game is a copycat of the game from the other developed that came out last year…

Fury is a good example of this kind of marketing. Look at what they say at their website …

- “Fury is a new online role playing game that is revolutionizing Online PVP. “
- Great, but how?
-“It gives online gamers the ultimate PvP combat experience and is unlike any other multiplayer role playing game (RPG) in the market at present.”
- Again, great, but how is it different?
- “ Well, Fury doesn’t make you grind through levels for months before you can begin PvP. It doesn’t even compel you to fight a single mob! “
- Great, but wait … that’s exactly like another game I know … its called Guild Wars and was released a few years ago ..

This is how it continues. But as the sad sort of gamer I am, I of course look beyond all this yada yada yada and will give this game a try too. I mean some day a MMO-game will have to pull me out of Azeroth … isn’t that right?

Just remember, I never say don’t try Fury or any other game … I just complain when I hear that same old story when a new game is unleashed at the market … At least tell me the truth, don’t say things that tempts me to try it when it’s basicly the exact same thing that I’ve tried two years ago ..

Just to show you that Fury might be a good game …look at this video …
