|
| | Only one I didn't recognise was Pandemic Studios. I went for Lionhead Studios just because of Peter Molyneux. |
|
|
| | are you a fan of his Bullfrog Productions days? |
|
|
| While I had Populous at the time, I was never really fond of it. I've never really been fond of any of his other games, either - except Black and White, I really liked that.
This is it, though; if I wanted to work for a games company, me loving the games probably wouldn't be top priority. I can see a need to at least like the games, and I can see benefit in loving the games (but also negatives - I'd hate to get sick of games I love) - if it was my main concern, Square would top my list to work for.
I read and thoroughly enjoyed an article about Peter Molyneux a few years ago, though. Not much stuck with me from it except it sounded like he'd be awesome to work for in most respects. Also sounded like there is a lot of experience there, that he'd be pretty light-hearted, and a lot of respect for his name. Seemed he'd rock on all levels, too, game mechanics, coding, management, etc. |

| I'm a quite a fan of his games, really like the good/bad element he tends to feature in his games too. Conveniently Lionhead is a 20 minute drive from me but less than conveniently they haven't responded to an application I set a fortnight ago, guess they don't like me, even though I put OSI on my CV :P
I guess your a fan of the FinalFantasy games? FinalFantasy X was the one that got me into the series but never really played any of the games before it, its surprising how well the FF formula works |
|
|
| They're probably playing through the challenges before they get back to you about the job.
Yes, big fan of the FF games. VII and VIII were my favourites, and very recently I played through FFVII:CC and absolutely loved it. Really wasn't expecting to. |
|
|
| | I loved FF7, i got really emotionally involved in the game, not so fond of FF8... but recently played through FF7:CC (And i have Disgea), FF7:CC was a good game, i enjoyed it, didn't expect the ending... not sure what i feel about the ending *Sheds a tear* lol |
|
|
| | The ending's awesomeness took me by surprise, but I really enjoyed the game throughout. And yes, FFVII was definitely a revolution for me in game-involvement. |
|
|
| FF7 Gamer: had an emotional attachment to her (Aeris(?)), cried and vowed to make Sephiroth pay dearly... punched the air and shouted "fu*k you b*tch, take it!" when you omni-lashed him into oblivion...
Personally, when i got there i was woefully under equipped and my save point wouldn't let me better it, so it took me about a year (with huge breaks in between because of annoyance) to finish, the day i decided to load it up and play it until i was done, it took me 9 hours trying different combinations of the crappy stuff i had, at 3am i did it, when i saw sephiroth fall i jumped up off my bed (in my parents house at the time), shouted "FUUUUUUUCCCCCC***** YOOOOOOUUUUUUU!" threw my controller at the TV and made a pr*ck of myself for at least 5 mins, that game was in the back of my mind for around a year and a half.
I might play the whole thing again on my PSP, the first time was the killer though, i got really involved in the whole thing, the game is so massive!
By the time FF8 was released i didn't really have the time to play it seriously, i couldn't get into it as much as i did with 7. |
|
|
| | sounds like I missed out on FF epicness as a child, I was probably playing on Age of Empires, Atomic Bomberman and Alien Trilogy at that time which don't have much of a storyline |
|
|
| | just so you can relive your trauma I've uploaded the video of when Sephiroth kills Aeris in a zip (14.6MB)here, the password is the answer to challenge 6 :P |
|
|
| |
|
| | I would go to Runic Games! I would be really glad to meet the original diablo inventors in person. |
|
|
| Bethseda:
The elder scrolls |
|
|
| Curse you, CodeX. I watched it to the point of Sephiroth just about to fly down and quickly stopped it.
Should we censor these posts? Don't want to spoil the game. |
