I don't think tchange will solve their lack of sales. Better and more consistent writing and making sure the books are out on time will.<br /><br />Some of the biggest mistakes made by DC are the fact that the follow up to 52 was Countdown to Final Crisis, which seemed to lack any idea what Final Crisis was. So we had a disconnect continuity-wise. Not to mention the delays with the Johns-Donner Superman stuff. Or the fact that the Superman-Batman title was claimed to be out of continuity post Loeb...<br /><br />I could go on.. it seems the guys in control of DC do not know what they are doing and they can whip up all the spectacle they want- without any substance they will ultimately fail.<br /><br />I think a better way to attract new readers ( for real ) is perhaps to produce low cost comic books printed on news print- cheap stuff printed with shitty ink. Like the rags we see at the end of the conveyer belts at shoprite. Make them 50¢ like the old days and make sure the point isn't to put them in zip lock bags with backing boards in order to preserve the value...<br /><br />love the blog btw-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-81011917495554071062011-07-27T16:04:51.041-03:002011-07-27T16:04:51.041-03:00Note that to avoid current developments in my DC g...Note that to avoid current developments in my DC games, I used to set them in the mid-80s, even taking part in the era's crossovers (Legends, Millenium, Invasion, etc.). It's easier to plan out a series when you already know the layout of the setting for the next 25 years.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-86878371646268491372011-07-27T15:57:11.459-03:002011-07-27T15:57:11.459-03:00At the time of the original release of DC, I was a...At the time of the original release of DC, I was a customer who was REALLY excited about Green Ronin having the license to the game. <br /><br />After the release of the Hero's Handbook and seeing the way the DC characters were being handled (that is, the "iconic" versions) I was disappointed then for a similar reason to why you are disappointed now.<br /><br />The characters in the game and in H&V I are all over the place in their abilities and their time-frame in the history of the DCU.<br /><br />I gave H&V I a chance by buying the PDF but having seen it -- I'm not bothering with H&V 2 because I've realized I'd have to re-stat all the characters I wanted anyway.<br /><br />On the other note... I do think that DC kinda sucker-punched GR with Flashpoint and the Reboot. It is an inexplicable move on the part of DC. I just don't get it... but, to be on topic -- I am happy to play in the "old" DCU because I'm not really interested in the New DCU.Rhetorical Gamerhttp://morrisonmp.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
