While I am definitely buying this game anyway, it's kind of dick for them to not let us know what's going on. All we're asking for is some sort of information. Anything. I'm not going to boycott ngmoco. I really like their games. But they are definitely missing out on an opportunity to connect with their customers. A lot of people (myself included) now view ngmoco as a traditional big name game company with profits as their only motivation. Imagine if these guys were more like Gary Vaynerchuck @garyvee. He would have been all over twitter and the blogs explaining not only the fiasco that happened over the weekend (pulling rolando 1), but also doing everything he could to get back to each and every one of us about Rolando 2's release. I just think that ngmoco is missing a huge opportunity.
I can dream of sexy dance parties with bears dancing in the woods. Also I just hired a hoe, she will be in the sexy dance party too
Well, listen, I don't really care when the game will be released, since I can survive without it, but... 1st of July is no longer 1st of July in the entire world. If they'll release it in 3 hours, it will be the first of July in San Francisco, but in the rest of the WORLD will be the 2nd of July. Either ng:moco doesn't know there is a world out there or they had some problems.
Because people like conspiracy theories. Apparently ngmoco wants to generate an audience by building suspense and releasing at the last minute. Maybe they thought that people would think that and the conspiracy theory itself would make an audience.
well, ngmoco certainly seems to have been prepared for today: http://rolando2.ngmoco.com/images/challenge/ there are even "Get it now" pictures and such.
While I am personally not mad at them for not connecting with their customers, I agree with you that it is definitely a lost opportunity and one that could ultimately deal a huge blow to the company.
looking forward to this, tho i didnt start liking the first one till yesterday (after I got it a while ago haha i just kinda forced myself to start playing again and i was really impressed). but in more important news, this is my 100th post! i'm finally a senior member on my favorite website
If there was hope we could have named this "The super awesome Rolando 2 release celebration sexy dance party". But...
