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

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


: : Are either of you at least willing to admit the possibility that I am not
: : turning things around in a stupid way, but merely making obvious responses
: : to a line of thought which takes into account only your own personal
: : preferences and desires and unjustifiably generalizing them for the whole
: : audience? And that the audience might object to seeing that done-- over
: : and over again the same way, with slightly different configurations of
: : words?

: Please don't lump me in with him and his stupid approach to this.

: : You're honestly going to advance the opinion that our disagreement is somehow
: : based on the idea that I have not given enough thought to the subject--
: : inferring that both you and HP have?

hey >:|
As you've hopefully now read, what I meant was exactly what I said, it seemed like you didn't understand because you apparently didn't read his whole post, which shouldn't be a problem if you just go slowly and think. As for a grudge, it was just a thought, some of this has gotten pretty heated.

: : : I think we could use another definition of terms from both of you.

: : What, granularity?

I was referring to "skill ceiling", it didn't seem like it meant the same thing to both of you (and I'm not sure what it means anymore myself).

: : : That last line baffles me. As for before that, again definition of terms, but
: : : if it's what I think it is, either you or Bungie made a significant
: : : misstep somewhere.

: : Yes, I know you do. I don't, and they don't, and the marketplace has vindicated
: : their viewpoint with just about every metric that you can possibly use.

OK now I'm completely lost as to what you're saying.

: : I do not understand your obsessive urge to suggest that Halo be turned into
: : something that its developers, that the majority of its fans, that nearly everything
: : about its design suggests it is not trying to be. I suspect you are treating it, and
: : this thread, like you treat your game: work at it long enough and eventually it
: : becomes fun.

That's not what I want and I'm pretty sure HP, Cody, the Wu, and most everyone here agrees that's not what they want. I want the next Halo game and indeed all of Bungie's games to be better than the previous ones. That doesn't mean I disliked previous ones, just that they can do better. HP presented some things he thinks developers keeping in mind would help them make better games. No one here wants to take your Halo cookies away from you, there are enough to go around; not everyone likes them, but with just the right recipe almost everyone will agree they're a nice snack, if a little fattening, and now if you'll excuse me I have some more metaphors to beat to death like the dead horse we disintegrated and had to replace with a dead zebra.

You cannot fall off the floor.
