In Response To: STARCRAFT?!?!? [OT RANT] (Jester)

Hey, just FYI.. The Chris Taylor behind Fallout:Tactics is a different Chris Taylor than Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor. What a sad game that was.

SoSD

: Funny ... I would think a Jeremy Soule fan would be a Total Annihilation kind
: of guy.

: SC is only throned because of the millions of fans that will buy anything
: with the name Blizzard on it. Some titles that would be best-sellers if
: released by Blizzard: Don't Buy Me, Empty Cardboard Box, Imavirus, Flaming
: Dump in a Box, etc.
: Not that I'm not one of those millions of morons, but Starcraft was not as
: technologically advanced as TA (which came out months earlier) and it's
: build structure is archaeic.

: Chris Taylor takes everything Blizzard does, and does it better. Watch as
: Dungeon Siege makes the Diablo series look foolish. (I'm not sure even he
: will be able to top World of Warcraft though ... geez).

: And while I'm on the subject, I would like to point out that the Bungie
: community isn't the ONLY insanely cool community. In addition to running a
: company, Taylor answers every single e-mail from fans, often within a
: week. Not ten months later (*coughMatt*)! But I digress ...

: What I'm trying to say is that a game's "success" shouldn't be
: based soley on its sales. It should be based on the quality of the game.
: When Marathon 2 came out for Windows, it had little hope of outdoing
: Quake, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a better game.

: So there ... your yardstick is too short!

: -Jester

: P.S. Thank you for the amazingly cool and detailed recollection of your Halo
: experiences. It was awesome how thorough your writing was. Thanks!
