Re: Exactly what you said
Posted By: Cody MillerDate: 12/13/10 3:27 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Exactly what you said (General Battuta)


: Is it possible that the asymmetries and gaps present in the Betas and H1
: allowed players to generate their own gameplay rather than playing inside
: the developer's rules? Or am I just being a wank?

In a sense you are right, but please understand that you cannot 'generate your own gameplay' nor can you 'play outside the developer's rules', since that is all determined by the game code. Everything you can do is part of the 'developer's rules' unless you modify the code yourself. What you mean I think is discovering rule interactions not foreseen by the developers, and yes this is rewarding and gives games depth.
