| When I read this, that's when I first knew Richard Garriot was insane. Or maybe just a stupid asshole.
He made older games where the ripoffs were better and peaked at Ultima 5, then quite wisely surrounded himself with people more talented than himself and stepped back, so he had guys like Warren Specter working on things by the time it was Ultima 7. Unfortunately, Garriot is a game designer who doesn't actually play games himself, you know like all the great writers who don't read. So the titles fell apart, he knew the names of the characters, but he didn't know the characters. And he sucked at design when the talented guys were gone. I played his MMOG through the beta, and it deserved to be shuttered. I was shocked when I learned his idea of an endgame was a respec mechanic. That was the actual answer and I still can't believe it was the official line. The game was horrible, but somehow he sued them and got money back for it recently. Fucking Texas! I'm still unsure how a guy who doesn't play games and can't really design them ended up the motherfucking tycoon of gaming. This horrible fucking asshole hasn't produced a game that wasn't horrible since 1992. Ethical Hedonism, Jesus fucking Christ. |
