Survey for the Future Part 2
On the other hand, Numenera going turn based was for me the best news since the announcement of Kickstarter. Unfortunately you can't please everyone, but for me the best wish would be turn based Reign of Winter Adventure Path with rules as close as possible to PnP Pathfinder rules and with the availability of Core Rulebook, Advanced Players Guide and Advanced Race Guide classes, archetypes and races, with combat as close to the Temple of Elemental Evil as possible. Up until today, I haven't play game with better combat as ToEE.

Actually this is the most interesting thingie on his reddit from what I have read: "Also note that the original article presented this as a "code comment" which made it look like it came directly from my code. Decompiled code does not include comments. The blogger wrote that comment (and all the others) herself. She also restructured the code and added names of variables and such (decompiled code doesn't include local variable names). It's better regarded as her pseudocode interpretation of my code, not anything I actually wrote." So in current age, it is actually allowed to practically decompile a code and then turn it into your own, which does not represent the real code, and blame the original author for what you have created on your own?

You mean playing a game is boring? It's no different from games with XP mechanics really - you want to increase a skill, you grind. You want more XP, you grind. A well designed game won't ever require you to grind, regardless of skill mechanics used. Which is the first massive advantage of "learn by doing" systems, incidentally. When you learn skills by using them and you can't level a skill up, it probably means the skill is useless and should be ignored. It has this mechanical courtesy of telling you "Oh yes, the skill is there, but we didn't have enough time to polish it up, just ignore it." Those are the same kinds of skills you invest in XP-based games and the find out they're utterly useless and you have lost a bunch of skill points needlessly. How exactly is that different from running away in the middle of a quest to grind up XP? In fact I'd say learn by doing systems have massive advantage here since you quite simply won't get inexplicably better at swinging your sword by finishing a bunch of fetch quests. The writing is less consistent since the expansion is more open and ... well, longer, but the writing is brilliant nonetheless. Well the reason why I do not like skill based stuff, is not because it sucks, but because the balance of the stuff and grinding tends to break the game much more than xp grind. The thing, which I love most is XP based adventures with tiered level caps. This allows very challenging encounters even in middle of the game. We are playing that way our Rise of the Runelords AP in PFRPG tabletop. And I love it.

I actually hate leveling by doing stuff and I prefer XP, because most of the time the skill based leveling is broken. Hitting **** 1000 times to get enough skillpoints to level up is boring and lot of games don't give you enough options to levelup all of the implemented skills. Trainers can solve the issue somehow, but the main issue becomes non-existant time management. If you go in middle of the save the day quest for a week of training, the game should reflect that, and give you hard time with the quest...

No do not be... They have just announced online multiplayer... sigh http://www.siliconera.com/2016/10/27/final-fantasy-xv-goes-gold-gets-online-multiplayer/ I am really thinking hard about cancelling my limited edition preorder... yes I have preordered it, despite thinking it will be as bad as Lightning Returns, but I have decided long time ago, this will be my last FF game, which I buy before it hits 10 bucks bargain bin sale...

Couch MP was the reason, why I enjoyed the consoles so much when they arrived in Slovakia, even though I was always HC PC gamer, but nowadays, the couch MP is dissapearing even from consoles. The reason why Wii sold like cupcakes, was reintroduction of couch multiplayer, but somehow big publishers completely ignored it, and the online became the norm again... what a wasted opportunity...

Well, this words is the reason, why I have left WoW in WotLK and never came back. They made raiding so easy, that our extremely casual guild have cleared Naxxramas on our first raid week. It is OK to make the game more accessible, but making it so easy that you can raid it blindfoldly is stupid. Anyway back to BF1 topic, yes, I do believe, that most of the buyers of the game do it for the SP campaign. They'll play few MP missions and go to another game. Only small fraction of people stay with MP in any game for more than 3 months...

Hmm to be honest, I prefer to play on my I-pad's screen over my phones screen. But what do I know... As I've said, I was always different to all the other kids on the playground...
