Support NeoGAF

[RomanticHeroX]

You know what?

I find it funny that developers are expected to take all kind of abuse and disrespect for their work, but once they throw a F word in response there are some that feel outraged or displeased.

I guess some like to dish it but not to take it. And I'm not talking about Jaffe.

No reasonable person should expect them to take abuse, nor should any reasonable person expect them to return it.

LOL

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I agree with the little bastard.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

The game looks shitty to a lot of people. The gb staff trashed it on the bombcast as well.

Why does that not surprise me?

 

[Jinfash]

Addressing comment sections. Can you even? Because I can't.

 

[The Xtortionist]

This is a good response to "hate" comments. Funny and harmless.

Plus, it fits the tone of the game (if I'm not mistaken, the game itself says FUCK YOU when you kill/get killed)

Spoiler

Obligatory "Twisted Metal lives on in Drawn To Death" comment

There's certainly an machine gun called the "Fuck You 47"

 

[Bluekaveli]

Dave.

 

[IcyEyes]

Jaffe vs Polygon/GiantBomb ?

hmm, hard choice ... well, right now I'm with him ...

 

[Pomo]

I think this is kinda funny and a relatively lighthearted way to jab back at the internet. Looking forward to seeing how the game turns out.

Live in a vacuum until it suits you is a better tact to follow?

 

[Coxy]

I hope the game has a "Drawing dicks in your notebook" super move

 

[DarkJedi24]

He has the thinnest skin ever

Yeah, that's why he took it way too seriously and... made a tongue-in-cheek video on Youtube?

Yeah Jaffe, why don't you go grow some balls.

[KalBalboa]

I'm not digging the game the art or playstyle but #gofuckyourself? Really?

Some people have been saying really mean spirited things about him. Journalists, podcasters, etc. Genuinely cruel name calling kind of stuff.

 

[publicpwnerer]

I love the faux maturity in this thread, with the "really" and the "is that necessary" bullshit.


I really can't stomach this attitude in the games industry where people say anything they want about a developer (even their personal lives), yet act offended when they respond in kind / on the same level. It just exudes an inferior childlike mentality when GAF'ers / forum goers hide behind the notion of "you're a developer or industry person, you can't say that to me".

 

[PhoenixFyre]

Good. Fantastic. Developers are human beings and it can be really demoralizing to have something you've poured your heart and soul into be shit on by people whose only interaction with your game is a passing glance.

Every day I see people shitting on everything that doesn't exactly match their expectations or desires. I see it in every thread and every comment section because God forbid a game, movie, song or company doesn't meet your every whim. So if a dev or anyone in the gaming industry can find some joy in a snarky fuck you, or can use the shitty trends of whiny, demanding brats to help promote their game, good for them. More power to them. I hope it brings them nothing but happiness. God knows some of the pricks on the internet need to be cut down a peg.

/rant.

 

[Kacho]

LOL that game does look pretty bad so I hope he's not too upset over the reaction.

 

[Burt]

Funnier than anything Kamiya's ever done.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Seems pretty tongue in cheek to me.

I think the game looks awesome.

Yeah, this just seems like a pretty playful way to poke fun at internet comments that fits the the theme of the game instead of taking to Twitter and swearing off at people.

 

[Brian_FETO]

There's certainly an machine gun called the "Fuck You 47"

Lol oh god took me a second to realize that was a pun. Fantastic.

I'm still sold on Dodgeball Dan alone

 

[Einhander]

The game isn't interesting to me, and the notebook paper art style is off-putting. I'm also getting bored with online shooters.

 

[Tesseract]

game looks rad, big fan of 2v2

 

[fuzzyreactor]

terrible

Pretty much. This game got a pretty insane amount of kneejerk hate when it was announced, but I've seen multiple Gaffers that attended PSX call it some of the most fun they had at the show. Haven't read a single negative impression from anyone on here who's actually played it, and loved it myself. And no, the style doesn't really speak to me or anything - I'm all about mechanics, and Drawn to Death delivers the fucking mechanics.

Maybe just give it a bit of a chance, you know?

 

[Patapwn]

I'm very surprised that Giant Bomb trashed a sony game

 

[CambriaRising]

They trashed it because it looks bad.

 

[Dylan]

Jaffe is rad. I've never been a huge fan of his games but it's so nice to see an actual human being on the developer front as opposed to PR mannequins in monkey suits. I also understand that he excels at making games that appeal to the "high school demographic", which, many of us forget, is a sizable portion of the market. I say more power to him; let him do his thing for as long as he can.

 

[Patapwn]

4/10, Driveclub Reloaded

 

[KalBalboa]

They trashed him more than the game...

Plenty of other people are really up on the game too. Namely people who've played it.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

They trashed it because it looks bad.

Most Sony games look bad to them though so no biggie

 

[MisterR]

Good for him. Telling some entitled message board trolls to fuck off is a okay in my book.

 

[Pathos]

is it pronounced jaffe or gaffe?

 

[Americanmushroom]

I'm ok with this. As long as you arent threatening to assault or kill anybody then people can say what they want. I'm older though and not as thin skinned as todays generation though.

this.

 

[Patapwn]

is it pronounced jaffe or gaffe?

Jawfee is how I think it goes

 

[DarkJedi24]

Yup. When it comes to Sony 1st and 2nd party coverage, I generally don't put much stock in their opinions.

 

[LX_Theo]

Seems more like its trying to fuel viral advertising out of this than it is a response to it.

 

[Krogan]

They trashed him more than the game...

Plenty of other people are really up the games too. Namely people who've played it.

Should those who have a negative opinion of game footage not speak their mind until they have played it? If so this forum has a lot of shutting up to do.

 

[Skux]

is it pronounced jaffe or gaffe?

Pretty sure it's actually "Jaffey".

 

[Etnos]

Gotta say Im quite dissapointed with Mr Jaffe, that was complitely unescesary :/

 

[Neiteio]

Game plays amazing with four players. Very tight and intimate with a smooth game flow. I played a bunch at PSX and wrote detailed impressions here. It's a game people really need to try before judging it, if only because it's so damn different. I had a blast and barely scratched the surface of the mechanics.

Xtortionist speaks, I listen.

Game's now on my radar.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Choosy moms choose Jaffe.

Thanks for this.

Yeah its actually this. Been awhile since I heard it but listened to it and its jaff*ey

 

[matrixman92]

The game looks alright, it's definitely interesting in style. I still find it very odd that Sony decided to end the key note on this

 

[Xion_Stellar]

I'm a big fan of David Jaffe and his work (specially Twisted Metal) and one thing I really like about the guy is the fact that he doesn't sensor himself or go through PR to speak his mind even if other people question the behavior or get a wrong message.

 

[Squire]

In response I'm sure they'll find a way to try and frame Drawn to Death as problematic.

He described on stage as taking place inside a teenagers notebook and bring brutally violent. It's pretty obvious it's problematic to anyone with an ounce of social awareness.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Hey Jaffe,

You're a fucking child.

 

[BokehKing]

Giant Bomb is not even on my radar as far as any sort of relevance in my day to day video game life. I never seen a game like this and I want to play it

Those characters look like something I could have doodled in 12th grade math class

 

[Weeaboosuke]

I expected worse.

lol.

 

[PhoenixFyre]

Can I ask why? I don't know about your teenage experience, but I know mine and most of the ones around me was absolutely filled with violent imagery. On notebooks, folders, drawn on our arms, everywhere. The rebellious teenage years are a staple as old as time. It's not at all a recent development, so why is acknowledging it in a video game problematic?
