| Re: Let's Talk Halo 4 | |

In Response To: Let's Talk Halo 4 (Cody Miller) : Player investment systems, just like quicktime events, are something that : never ever makes a game better. When I first played Spartan Ops, I had to : start with an AR / Pistol while my friends got to start with better : weapons. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I really have no desire to : have to unlock the ability to use better loadouts later. The proper thing : to do is to either allow preferred loadouts to be fully customized right : from the beginning, or have each episode contain 5 loadouts to pick from : tailored to the mission. I mean, if I can eventually add the DMR or Plasma : pistol, what difference does it make if I wait or get it now? The end : result is the same fucking thing, but if you give it to me right away I : can have all the fun I should have been having instead of playing with : shitty loadouts. When you have a system like this, you are making players : play an inferior version of your game repeatedly in order to get to the : 'real' version. That's horrible. Ditch this system. Please pay more : attention and stop including things that make your game worse. GTA V is supposedly even going so far as to make everything in the game world available to the player right off the bat. I think the belief with some developers is that while they know what the most popular weapons and items are and that a lot of players want to use those exclusively, they'll purposefully design it such that the player will have to use a lot of other stuff in the gameplay sandbox before getting to the popular items, because the designers think the other weapons/items/etc. are as worthwhile as the popular ones. I think it's a cop out, but Rockstar seems to be listening, at least.
