Re: My H4 review - Campaign (Gameplay and Story)

In Response To: Re: My H4 review - Campaign (Gameplay and Story) (uberfoop)


Calm down.

Maybe gamers always have complained just as much, and the lack of such a readily available venue and audience made it less apparent.
I don't believe that though.
As gamers average ages have gotten older, I think a bit of 'grumpy old man' syndrome has been setting in.
There are so many things little niggles that I believe people once would have shrugged their shoulders about and just moved on.

I will say that Sonic CD isn't the best example and your also mistaken in how the spin dash worked. I had the original Sonic CD back in 93, as well as importing the Japanese version of Sonic Gems for the Gamecube.
Both games required the player to come to a complete stop.
In fact, every 2D Sonic game has required you to come to a full stop, otherwise you just spin. Fundamental Sonic mechanics here.
The difference was that in Sonic 2, you 'revved' the spin dash by repeatedly tapping the buttons.
In Sonic CD, you pressed the button once and it would rev up to full speed on its own over a couple of seconds. To launch at a slower speed, you had to let go of the button before it reached that maximum rotation on its own.
The 2011 digital release has the Sonic 2 version as an option, not a change.
In much the same way that ever since Sega re-released the first Sonic game on the Saturn as part of Sonic Jam, they have often added the option of enabling Spin Dash, a feature it lacked on the Mega-Drive.

Anyway, as far as my own observations go, I am seeing more and more often the smallest mole hills in a games design being made into mountains as someone agrees, then another and another, spiralling upwards into a remarkable indignation.

: But for many of us

Given the population of this forum, I'm not sure 8 (thus far) could really be called such a significant portion.
As is usually the case, people who are satisfied, unconcerned, tend not to feel the need to voice their thoughts one way or the other.

This is Halo, not a super fast paced beat 'em up like Street Fighter, where an excessive animation cycle can be severely damaging to the game (though in those cases, they tend to be implemented in a risk/reward manner).

Speaking of risk/reward, where do assassinations figure into all this?
The concept is essentially the same thing, taking control away from the player momentarily add a little flair.
More than that, assassinations throw you into the 3rd person so you can actually see it all.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I have the impression that most people seem to like those.

That is where this started in the context of Halo.
