Official Fulqrum Publishing forum - The future of CoD...

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle and it's all a matter of how people word their posts and the manners they display: issues have to be reported, not aggressively whined about and make no mistake, there's a big difference between the two.

I think that's what mazex is trying to say too:

There is a bug reporting thread, let's keep it there with some kind of manners and constructiveness? Provide information that helps fixing the bug (detailed system specs, background info, ways to reproduce etc). As it is now there are tons of threads witch does not help the devs at all. It is a beta and the fact that the fps has gone down is well documented now? No need for another thread about that?

That being said, i do agree that 1c's future isn't resting on a single series. Just have a look at the other sub-forums and look up their titles on youtube/google/etc.

There are a whole lot of people playing their hybrid turn-based strategy/RPG or turn based tactical shooter/RPG releases and they are quite popular with gamers of such genres because of their different cultural background: while a lot of it has been done before, it hasn't been done this particular way.

We all know about a dozen stealth/action games where you can play a spy or covert operative, but there's not many of them where you can play a Soviet counter-intelligence Smerch agent like you can in the Death to Spies series.
We all know games like Heroes of might and magic, but the differences in artwork and aesthetics in the King's Bounty series are enough for fans of the genre to try it out.
We've all seen countless wargames, but not many that focus on the story being told from the perspective of an eastern block army like in the Men of War series.
There have been hundreds of first person shooters, but not many where the main character is stranded on a haunted Russian ice-breaker ship like it happens in Cryostasis.
And so on... ;)
