We're all stupid.

 

But we are all less stupid than Oblivion. So that's something.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

The important thing to understand is that, as you sit and judge the stupid people for being stupid, they're also standing around judging you, the stupid person, as stupid.

Oh no they're not. Not these people. Take a look if you really care. The Off-Topic section should be enough.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

That was pretty good. It started with him soundlng like he liked it, then he ended up spending the last 2 minutes ripping it apart.

Who thinks QTE's are a good idea?

 

 

It's like a return to the days of FMV games.

 

Hopefully, just like with FMV, the trend will quickly pass, leaving only a bad smell and a few brown stains.

They were fun in Dead Space, since they weren't all that hard and if you ever failed them the death scene was just awesome.

QTE's are the unfortunate byproduct of trying to please everyone. It happened exactly like this.

 

 

DESIGNER: "And then theres a cutscene that explains just what the hell is going on"

 

SUIT: "Oh. But we have polls that say players with ADD dont like cutscenes. We have to find something for them to fidget with while watching it."

 

DESIGNER: "A cutscene is a cutscene, and if we remove it the story wont make any sense. Just let them sit and randomly mash the buttons or whatever while they wait if they cant be bothered to skip it"

 

SUIT: "Thats brilliant! We'll have them press buttons during the cutscenes!"

 

DESIGNER: "What?!"

 

SUIT: "Yeah! And not only that, but we'll force them to press them and if thy dont theyll die! Like in those old laserdisc games where you had to press left or right not to die and have to start over!"

 

DESIGNER: "Thats friggin retarded."

 

SUIT: "Dragons Lair sold like a gazillion copies. We're doing it."

 

DESIGNER: "DA didnt sell gazillions because it.."

 

SUIT: "I dont pay you to make bussiness decisions, just do it or Ill find someone else who will."

DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

 

Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture.

 

"I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
