Meh Frankly it does look kinda lazy as I think ive stated before. But as others have pointed out it wasn’t supposed to be a blockbuster game. It’s just like any arcade game you down load. I mean…Its just that…an arcade style shooter. I can see where someone would think its a smash tv clone. The entire game looks like it was made of a very small budget which would explain why it looks like they rehashed a bunch of ghosts from gbtvg. It was probably cheaper to do that then hiring people to draw out concepts for new ghosts and go from there. Come on its 10.00 Though I think it doesn’t look that great I’m still gonna give it a shot. Its…just 10.00 You get what you pay for so…it could really go either way…I mean…sometimes you go to a steak house that you’ve never been to before and you buy a 10.00 steak and it just isnt any good Or its the better than sex. Same thing here. It doesn’t look impressive but atari is basically broke so what did you expect?
Sorry but you are wrong. It functions exactly as intended. Kinda funny given the topic, and how the game was made exactly as intended…
phpBB offers a way to test out a forum user’s browsing expirence to test out their permissions. Here I can view the site as if I was you. You have 1 person on your block list. That users posts are blocked. You are CHOOSING to see them by pushing the show this post button.
"I think people DO understand, but just because its priced at $10.00, doesn’t give developers the green light to make a half assed game. Say they took their time, used the actual actor likenesses, came up with all new ghosts, and had a drivable ecto-1, would you be willing to pay say $30.00 for the game? How about $40.00? "
This means nothing. You have no idea of the decision process that went into making the game. That you’re blaming the developers instantly says you don’t know what you’re talking about. Atari hired the dev to produce a game of a certain scope, for a certain market, within a certain amount of time. That it. The devs are probably more than capable of making a bigger game, but Atari would still have to pay for it, and they obviously didn’t want to. But you’re blaming the devs.
“See I disagree. If you think for one minute the sole purpose of making this game was to please the GBfans and not to turn a quick buck your sadly mistaken. Its obvious they were trying to cash in on the GB name with little to no effort applied.”
You’re half right, but it’s the part you get wrong that shoots you in the foot - yes. Atari wants to make money off the license, and a quick buck is better than a slow dime. No duh there. But again, you have no idea the effort applied. You’ve decided, with your gut apparently, instead of a knowledge of game development, that it’s a half-assed effort when in reality it’s exactly what you’d expect to get for the development time and approximate money spent.
Actually, you did make us out like we’re a bunch of kiss-■■■■■.

"Conversely, people need to stop going gaga over every item that comes out with a GB logo slapped on it. "*
Not what’s happening. What happens is someone goes “More info about this game I’m interested in” a few people go “Cool!” and then someone tromps in to make sure every knows, again, that they hate it. Those that wanted to enjoy the new info get annoyed at the killjoys, and the killjoys write long posts telling everyone to stop being a bunch of sucks and they can say what they want because airing their opinion is more important to them than, say, shutting up for once, and enjoying a lack of negative attention for once.
And don’t put sycophant in quotes. It’s a proper word. And it is not us.
Similarly as in I’ve formed my opinion like you do for entertainment, or how you form them for other topics?
Honestly, my opinion of you begins and end in this thread, based on the fact that you don’t know anything about game development, but won’t let that stop you from talking shit about a decent development studio and anybody that’s genuinely interested in the game. Beyond that, I’ve got nothing on you.
AJ, thanks for the update. As for those people here that keep bashing this game to no end… Seriously go outside and get some fresh air. I’d repeat the rest of the same yak I say per thread on GB:SOS, but why do that?
Do you really think I’m stupid enough to actively click a button to show the posts and then complain that I can see them?
Also, I find it kind of ridiculous that you can simply log in to other people’s accounts to test their settings. What else can you do? Read their private messages? Post as them? Change info?
| alkaline |, that made zero sense. Clever brevity fail.
Ghostbuster87, No. No he can’t. He’s not logged in as you, he’s logged in as himself, with his account temporarily using the same permissions and settings as you - it’s a function the board system allows admins, so they can, you know, check complaints that the board is broken for someone. If he were to post, or check account settings, they would be of his own account.
you do only post here to complain about how things are ran and bitch about the members, so you need to see my posts if you want something to moan about rather than add to a discussion.
Thanks. Very much appreciated from the guy who owns and operates the site. I guess I’ll be taking that prop order I messaged you about elsewhere.
If he was logged in as himself with the same permissions and settings as me, wouldn’t it still say AJ Quick up top rather than my name? Plus, I don’t see how doing that would make potential browser problems apparent to the owner/operator, but I guess there are different ways of testing that.
Yea, not really interested in going around in circles anymore each of us pointing out the flaws in one another’s responses. You have a good day, be well.
More and more I am seeing comments from users posted here, posted on Facebook and posted on other sites. You guys hate what you have, you hate what you get. You hate GBFans and you hate me because I run GBFans. I’ve seen similar things about ProtonCharging.com (castewar’s site) too.. so I hope he can relate to what I’m about to say.
I am an active user of this site.
If I see discussion that I do not agree with, usually as the result of a lack of forethought or lack of research or lack of brain cells… I will post either as a correction, as a rebuttal or as a difference of opinion. More times than not, this causes people to call me unfair or in the ultimate cop out claim that I am not letting people post their opinion and that they are not welcome on GBFans.
That leads to people thinking their idiotic fan boy pant legging ramblings which are made with absolutely no forethought or any kind of logic are some how “opinions” that they cram down other people’s throats even when shown that their logic is flawed by experts. They even give names to the experts trying to berate them.. “Heavies”. Eventually this leads to people claiming their opinions are not welcome… and then start attacking the site… making remarks about being glad they don’t support the website they post on every day. Then that eventually turns into people posting on other sites how they are “About to get banned from GBFans”… to try and gain sympathy from others… usually turning into further “YEAH AJ SUCKS FOR RUNNING HIS SITE. I DON’T EVEN GO THERE ANYMORE!” comments from people who are completely ignorant to the situation. That leads to some extremely eccentric people to start claiming that I’m “reading Private Messages and changing settings”.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Lots of you guys are really socially inept when it comes to intelligent debate. You think if I don’t do something to appease you.. that it is my fault and therefore the entire site is unfair, unwelcoming, and I’m a big meanie. (Keep in mind that this applies to other people who post with differing opinions from your own. Not just me.)
