I feel like if you ever type the term "kill yourself" or some variance thereof into a comment, it should register an automatic pause in your brain and force you to re-evaluate why you're so overly-invested in the discussion.

If I were still on GAF I would tell the OP that people who aren't willing to pay well for a design job aren't worth your time. Graphic design is a business not a charity (unless you're really down with the person/project/cause behind a design and are willing to add in a discount. e.g. Aaron Draplin making the Cobra Dog logo for his friend).

Right now I'm charging $1000 a day and by next year I'll be charging $1500 by the day for freelance work. Ł50 ($100) is peanuts for a logo design.

Some people say I charge too much but those people fall by the wayside while I snag clients who are willing to pay that much for my visual knowledge, experience, & taste I've accumulated throughout my life.

Microsoft and Nintendo both put Sony in its place. The Wii was one of the best mindfucks commercially in this medium.

The software lineup for the PS4/Xbone is also even more identical than last gen's, making the gloating more obnoxious than usual. These consoles are two boring slabs of sequels, remakes, and remasters.

The PC stuff is pretty bad too, but the cause of that is fairly straightforward (it's Lore's platform of choice) and it's been an issue forever anyway.

Like, there's a thread on front page where someone asked which Deus Ex game they should start with, which is a reasonable question since the story chronology is a right mess and the games play wildly different, but the thread's a circle jerk about how great the first game is and how awful Invisible War is.

The "Greatest Hits" cheap factor is one reason I own Crash 1 and 2. (2 is soooo much better, yet everybody talks about the first one which is straight unbalanced garbage for many chunks of it. Maybe they just never got past the first island.)

But also the Spyro series, which was two masterpieces and a good game, so it evens out.

According to Gamasutra, the first Crash Bandicoot game has sold 6.8 million units worldwide as of November 2003[84], making it the seventh best-selling PlayStation game of all time. Cortex Strikes Back sold 3.9 million units in the U.S., while Warped sold 3.8 million. The last 2 games on the PlayStation console, Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash, sold 1.9 million and 1.6 million units in the U.S. respectively. Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (the first PS2/Xbox/GCN non-Sony title), has sold 2 million units in the U.S.[85]

For comparison from the same Gamustra article, the original Rayman for PS1 sold 4 million worldwide.

I'm a grown man and I love serious, competitive games but honestly, sometimes I just want to chill the fuck out in bed and play something fun. Crash Bandicoot was a game I loved as a kid and I'd be all over a new one, maybe if Ratchet and Clank does well it'll make devs a bit more brave to just make fun games that aren't super realistic.

All the PlayStation 1 platform games were the best, crash bandicoot is my favourite indeed i hope 2016 will be the year of crash; i hope other platform games come back too (spyro, tomba, medievil, gex, croc) like abe and rayman did  in these year (i really want to see more frequently rayman console games)

ash7355 months ago
I've always said, Crash Bandicoot needs to return, but NOT essentially with Naughty Dog like most people want as Naughty Dog today hardly has anyone there who was involved with Crash. Any studio would be fine as long as Jason Rubin, Andy Gavin and Josh Mancell (Music Composer for Crash 1-3 & CTR) were involved.

Plokster5 months ago (edited)
Loved the Crash Bandicoot series, although the first was a little too hard for my taste.

I wish there were more games with this sort of spirit. Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are some the only games my siblings will play with me because the games are simple, fun, and anyone can play them.

Also, this amazing comment:

Stranno4 weeks ago
Its funny to see Jason talking about the challenges of doing the first real 3D platformer ever (not the same kind of old-school 2D sidescrollers in polygons like Gex or Rayman in Playstation) and people are like wooooahh, what a genious.

And then Eidetic, that was an amazingly talented studio, developed Bubsy 3D, the first 3D open level platformer ever and the first translation of a character from a fully 2D concept to a fully 3D concept and people are like what is this shit? Because of the tank controls (digital controller crappy magic) and the simple design.

InFamous
Tomb Raider
Call of Duty (especially the MW trilogy)
Spec Ops
Fallout 4
Bloodborne
Dark Souls
Demon's Souls

at best some of them have "neutral" endings (shit is fucked up but for the most part things are ok now)

pretty much nothing outside of Nintendo games have an "everyone lived, yay!!!" ending

Several games that have downright shitty story telling and stories have drab or overly edgey endings? Thank god for Uncharted 4, I can also count on games mechanically made for children and man children to have bright endings as well!

Fuck MS for screwing up so badly they allowed these fuckboys to win.

The comedy from the gloating sony stanleys getting up in arms when 4chan and Reddit mock them and Lore whines about the "Neogaf is a hivemind of Sony fanboys" meme keeps growing though since they prove the internet's point every time. Like that time they found out one of those obnoxious Sony twitter stans gloated about being evilr on gaf, permabanned him and he went on a rant about how he was "Saving gaming". Now there's about 50 different evilr's with the level of shitty juniors they let in lately (Or just plain shitty posters still unbanned like Deep Enigma and Conduit. Steve Youngblood becomes Slaneesh, concerned more about pleasure and sloth instead of moderating, more and more every week).

Neogaf is now a punchline to an industry joke and gaming culture but it's own posters and management don't want to admit it. Especially since Tyler isn't getting paid for rampant shilling and astroturfing whille he's begging his own userbase to turn off ad block.

Plenty of Nintendo stans and PC stans(Subdivided into AMD and Nvidia Stans as well. Durante is a shameless Nvidia marketer for one) alongside MS stans (Statham and Speedy Blue Dude pop into mind). Sony stanleys just take it to exceptional heights of obnoxious shitposting, concern trolling and FUD that it's a running joke on other forums and in the industry, while mods get buttmad if people make fun of them on gaf. Which just self perpetuates the "Sonygaf" meme and the cycle starts all over.

There's nowt wrong with being a fan but throwing your life into defending corporations and astroturfing for them to the level some people do on gaf is exceptionally sad. Especially since Tyler doesn't get paid for any of it when he could have solved his revenue problem
