Re: So you guys want specifics on game design eh..

In Response To: Re: So you guys want specifics on game design eh.. (Louis Wu)


: No, that's NOT what he was talking about. Reach will NOT be aimed
: specifically at the hypercompetitive crowd - it will be a mass-market
: game. Bungie (and Microsoft) want to maximize sales.

I meant it's a new game where things can be fixed.

: Narc's point was that it's NOT a 'tweak' - which is what some of the other
: arguments suggest. I think you need to work on your reading comprehension
: skills.

Well he didn't make that clear (and HP could've made it clearer too).

: There is one conversation going on here. There is (apparently) a second
: conversation going on in IRC. You are expecting Narc to glean the same
: nuances from the text here alone that you're gleaning from the text here
: PLUS the back-and-forth conversation in IRC. This is dumb.

That's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm saying those lines lead me to believe he may have a grudge of some kind and/or was not thinking very hard when he replied. I didn't feel like itemizing but I will:

: Is it your assertion then that Halo, or perhaps merely ODST, is
: insufficiently complex and designed for idiots? Or are we speaking of some
: other games?

he wasn't saying that at all

: The movie industry is making interactive movies? News to me. I thought that
: went out with Smell-O-Vision.

as pointed out, he was referring to the game industry and the sarcasm here as well as another line doesn't help his argument nor does it help anyone make better games

: Honestly, beyond this point I had extreme difficulty in extracting what it is
: that you concretely wanted to say about what makes Halo or other games
: good or bad and how they can be improved, so I'm going to snip on down to
: the tldr version.

it's not that complicated, if you just take it one section, one paragraph, one sentence at a time, it's not hard to understand, assuming you can read English and have a memory

I hope that clears some things up.

You cannot fall off the floor.
