In Response To: Re: Why change the grenades? (Narcogen)


: This again? So soon?

: Yes. It is catering to people who suck. We buy Halo stuff, too, and when the
: Call of Duty games come out, which always properly reward those rare and
: talented players who are truly able to exhibit their superior skills for
: all to see, only the Halo players who suck are left over, and without
: seven different kinds of audiovisual warnings for everything that might
: hurt them, they would all be killed by the Guardians instantly on entering
: an online any multiplayer match, and we'd all be forced to watch CliffyB
: teabag Jason Jones as the surprise ending of Gears of War 3 (the HUMANS
: are the INVADERS!) earns Epic the first-ever Best Picture oscar won by a
: videogame (with half the color palette behind its back).

: THAT'S why.

You joined the topic way late, but what I meant by people who suck, taken from a reply to Hedge, is:

"So when I refer to people who "suck" that are being catered to, I'm really referring to people who apparently are so bad at the game that they actually complained about being unable to see a grenade kill them (just like all those people who complain about the BR spread even though there's really nothing wrong with it), like they would have managed to dodge it anyway once it was at their feet (light or not)."

It wasn't about some casual vs hardcore thing, even though it came off that way (unintentional, should have been expressed better by me). In my mind this was about people who die and then complain about dying and trying to find any excuse imaginable to explain why they died, be it someone who just bought a Halo game for the first time five minutes ago, or the most hardcore veteran level 50 awesome General who still cries if someone somehow manages to kill his indestructable Spartan. That's really what I've been driving at about this light being a pointless addition. But I think we're all past that now. :P

And CliffyB teabagging Jason Jones. Ahahaha. Right into the sun via giant slingshot (the clip of CliffyB teabagging Jason Jones is being hallucinated by Cliffy as he nears the sun--surprise ending!)!
