How is it that people are angry that they can't run through a game without challenges...thats why games are starting to be crap now...no challenges...and GTA: SA...is still Ridiculous in how easy it is...the worst thing I had to worry about was my crappy 1st gen Xbox locking up. Now I have one of the ones that actually works and its fine...the flying is kinda disorienting at first...but its like any other game where you have to learn how to handle the vehicles...bah...if it was too easy you would be complaining about that.
Thats even better...bitches took my turf...makes it more satisfying...I think i'm on my 4-5th playthrough this time i'm going for the 100%, and this is the only GTA that hasn't been more fun to cheat...though running from the cops with the jetpack is very fun, but nothing beats getting in the back of a pickup, scaring the driver, then sitting in the back shooting people while the cops chase you.
Hell they could make three distinct types of themes, the Regualar GTA guy (criminal, builds criminal orgs) The Law (this would have to be new as the cops in previous GTA's have either been bumbling or "evil") And then some kind of mix between the two....so that in theory not only would it be the greatness of openended GTAness...but you could move around the ethical spectrum
Oh and PS love the idea about player made quests, I always have thought that would be a great way to build community and I guess I don't understand the limitations on why they havn't done it yet.
The one thing I would love to see, would be a sandbox type game (I.E. GTA, TES) That was able to handle a large realistic world. 10,000 People in a city each going about their lives, and a storyline that progresses with or without you, but that you can directly influence...basicly more realistic simulated worlds with good or better storylines...
I love the controls...except on the Xbox the Drive by controls (L2 and R2 on PS2) on the original controller are hard...and on the S impossible...but by just driving past the person you want to kill, jumping out of the car and locking on to them with the tracking rocket launcher...well that makes up for it.
and to comment on the two weapons thing...well it's ok but it would have been better if they alternated instead of one shot fires both weapons...also...why can't I have two silenced 9mm...or if I can shoot two sawed off shotguns...but not two DEagles?.....anyway...
I'm so sad I only had it for Xbox...won't be making that mistake with Oblivion. I see no reason why Devs wouldn't release a game editor with any/every game
Non-gamers will never understand gamers and will always think that games are a waste of time. I have a friend who has said that she feels like she is wasting time when she plays games and would rather watch tv...because she can get more done......seriously she thinks that...so we'll just have to remember that just as other people think we don't make any sense playing games we'll continue to think they are retarded.
This has been documented, it created a rift in space time and directed the blast back ~65 million years to the location around the current Yukatan Penninsula.
But the fact that this is a good idea, and something that you want doesn't mean that we have to get rid of the games that you don't like...because you have no right to decide what I like or should play...So when it comes down to it, you have your Family games...Mario Party...basicly any mario game is a good family game..there is a wide range of them as well, also Sports games (to get your children interested in some physical activity)
And I'm prolly wrong but it sounds like you are complaining that there is more then family games...
The game designers are not solely to blame, nor are the players; it's the production companies who (much like the movies) are sticking with the "mainstream" games that will net the most profit...
The fact that gamers have matured over a lifetime of playing games and thus would like something more engaging...(for example you still don't read the same books that you did as a child, or enjoy the same simple movie/TV shows)
In fact that is the largest part of most complaints about depth of game play, that games only focuses on Physical conflict (conflict being the integral part of most plot devices...) while neglecting plot, character development and believable AI.
Until we have a much more cost effective/easier way of making competent AI/writing then this will not happen on a large scale. And this is unlikely to happen until simple violence is unprofitable (see production companies above)
Once the demands of the gaming audience changes and broadens then the variety and depth of the games will. As we get older we need deeper and/or different things from our entertainment. Mario is still fun, but so are Bugs Bunny Cartoons...unfortunately both are too simple for me now to be my preferred source of entertainment.
And I am in no way an expert on any of this, this is just my opinon on this subject.
Ahh but what happens when she starts building pylons in her room? and trying to merge with a dark templar....then you'll be saying "why!!!!" and the camera will zoom out from you kneeling in the muddy grass.....
Uh...are you saying that the fact that Game cater to a growing audience (including the first generation of gamers who are now in the second half of their life) is a bad thing, or that it has somehow corrupted video games? I've read your post 5 times and still cannot figure out what you are trying to say.
Parents should teach their children that hurting others is bad...I think this *might* fix some of these problems...maybe all thoes Christians out there can tell their kids what Jesus said was the most important Commandment...HA! Tricked you...whenever someone asks Jesus what the most important commandment is he says "Love your God and love your neighbor as yourself" or some such...end of transmission..../.
Becasue we already went through that phase where we blame many problems on that media and now most adults and older "folks" have been desensitized to it and accept it as something that isn't bad becasue "I grew up with it and I'm fine", same thing with rock music and clowns..."clowns?" you might ask....yes....clowns
Nu-uh If you do something bad and then find a game that has the same thing in it, thats an easy way to get an easier punnishment, and with people like Jack Thompson out there making very well grounded assesments of games and Evil game developers like Rockstar tricking kids into watching hardcore porn in their games then there will always be a place for people like me who take sarcastic comments waaaay to far...like this one
And you are a coward who hides behind anonymity....maybe you are just as bad as this guy you are comparing to Hitler...at least we know who he is so we can avoid him..
Well the game wasn't made to let you take part in the storyline from the Star Wars movies, just to live and adventure in the Star Wars Universe, so that is why someone would want to be anything other then a fighter in SWG...though not now since they axed that part off.

I think it was pity, helping out the dork from his past who was trying real hard to fit in with the real gangstas, but just couldn't cut it.

Unfortunately there's none Is not a proper contraction because "unfortunately there is none" is gramaticly incorrect...it would be there are none
sometimes I just get this bored.

That is unfortunately a result of capitalism.

He forgot to add "Carrying the Pac-Man Arcade game on your back"
Yes because that whole License to drive thing really got rid of the bad drivers...
