: Oh, man... *pre-emptively prepares flame shield*

: The idea that games should exist to send some kind of message utterly floors
: me. That's why they're games and not movies: they're meant to be enjoyed
: by the player. That's why, to me, Rubicon failed. Chris spent too much
: time and energy making his maps look great and fitting -- and they do --
: but he totally forgot about how fucking annoying it is to be lost in
: maps like his for hours on end.

It's intersting you should say that; I've not really had that problem with Rubicon, but Tempus Irae have me a horrible time. The key to get out seemed too random often. I liked getting lost a little in Rubicon cuz it makes me feel good and manly to look at the map for a few minutes and figure out where I'm supposed to be going :)
