I haven't thought about some of the dusty old IP's THQ has acquired for a long time.
The one thing I remember the most about Joint Ops is that the helicopters handled like they were guided by invisible rails. Just up down left right. This was compared to Battlefield 2 though, so maybe it was actually fine, because BF2 helicopters are probably still the most maneuverable in the whole series.
That's probably Joint Ops in general, it was fine but worse than one of the best Battlefields.
I think Joint Ops allowed for a higher player count though.
A new one would be absolutely incapable of competing with Battlefield. Just from a budget standpoint.
World War 3 is trying to do Battlefield 3 on a lower budget, don't know how well that's doing.
Delta Force had an impressive draw distance at the time. You couldn't really make out what the hell that voxel was supposed to be, but you sure could spot it at an unusually great distance. Don't recall exactly what else Delta Force was about. Was it kind of tech demo-y? Don't know if I'd want a modern equivalent? it'd probably just be some kind of Call of Duty?
Not that I was going to buy a Destroy All Humans remake or a cobbled-together Saints Row V, but THQ Nordic can go fuck themselves.
Even if you're a Timesplitters fan, I'm p r e t t y sure it's easy to just... not get a video game if it means not giving your money to people who are, at the very least homophobes, pedophiles, & Nazi sympathizers?
Not buying a game is super easy. There's all kinds of flimsy, petty ass reasons why people opt to not buy a specific game.
This reason I consider more valid than plenty of them.
Not buying a game requires very little sacrifice and conviction, and has the added benefit of saving you money.
If you really want to spend it on a game, there's thousands of others to choose from. Or buying used is a decent compromise.
Some say it wouldn't be fair to the hundreds of people working at or for THQ who had nothing to do with this.
But like Ms. Galaxy has said:
And judging by how things are going, I don't think you have to worry too much about the innocent employees of THQ. I think they'll manage.
They ought to seek work elsewhere if/when possible.
Every fuckimg thread regarding thq is going to be boringly filled with neverending hate.
...bored of that same posts from 30 other threads. pls, dont do this in every fucking thread...
I'm tired of not being able to freely talk about the games I like without people telling me why I should boycott this company.
The apparent expectation that people would have any inkling of empathy or respect for your pleas is very difficult to understand.
We want the company that knowingly signal-boosted a Nazi pedo terrorist site to be held accountable, but wait, we should shut up about that, because bringing it up makes you bothered and bored.
Nothing is stopping anyone from discussing THQ's games.
You opted instead to make these your sole posts in this thread.
