So this has been a news item for a little while now:
http://au.gamespot.com/features/the-dangers-of-gamer-entitlement-6350732/
Not just reading this article, and some of the terrible things it has mentioned but also the comments down below. It took me five or six comments before I couldn’t…
I disagree with being embarrassed, as I am clearly not one of these morons. But I don’t understand what the problem was with the comments underneath. I saw mostly people defending Hepler, or stating (in a reasonable and calm way) why they thought Hepler’s opinion was a bad one. HOW is that a bad thing? Why would you be ashamed of that?
And to give my two cents, I DO think that her idea is not a great one. While I HIGHLY enjoy the story to games, I don’t buy a game to watch a movie. Nor do I think that anyone should. If they want that sort of thing, they should simply take the cinematics and package them as a DVD, sell it for less. That would be a great idea, and not ruin the concept of gaming.
Also, I am REALLY bad for hitting buttons I don’t mean to, and I would be pissed beyond belief if I accidentally hit the skip combat button or something like that.
Another idea is to make a mostly, or even completely, conversation-based game. That would make sense, although it would have to be quite substantial. Something like the way Mass Effect had the different options, but with more consequences if you choose the wrong thing to say. Still, a bit dull though.
Anyway… I may or may not get yelled at for this. Yay!
