In Response To: Re: Hyp(ocrit)es Hurt (Nemesis) > How, exactly, do you define "gameplay?" You just > covered most of the elements of the game, yet > "gameplay" was somehow not a part of any of that.

The rating you see on gamesites does NOT refer to graphics, story, models, or scripts. I don't see what's so obtuse about the word that is clearly used in many magazines and websites for many years now. > By that I mean how well you do when you sit down and > actually play it.

While it would, it's highly doubtful. First of all, you wouldn't need to hide such a secret- no one is suddenly going to say "Amazing AI! Why didn't I think of that?!" Second... well, you didn't see the movie (AFAIK). But if you want to get your expectations up there, fine.
