All n4g mods/admins have 10 bubbles (I think).
They'll step in and try to nudge him into CODifying everything.
We need don't need Bay 'splosions in a game that is sure to give us new profound understandings on nature, the human condition, and finding friendship during some of the greatest battles in console war history.
-"I didn't mean to say that minimalist stories in games are crappy. . ."
I figured you meant to say scant or under-developed; just making sure. :)
I guess the only thing that has me worried with games going more in-depth with their universe is consistency issues. From what I remember in a podcast with Uncharted and Bioshock writer, the brevity in writing out dialogue specifically for a each level, which aren't designed in order, could beco...
Minimalist and crappy really shouldn't go together like that. Minimalism is a literary technique used by many great writers.
I would argue minimalist videogame stories can be a greater risk from a marketing perspective. Think about how someone could try to sell SotC: you fight 16 epic bosses (and only bosses) to save your love. You might have a straightforward plot but the unwritten 80% is where those deeper themes lie for passionate fans to discover. If delivered c...
-"Given that our previous conversation is all the reference I have of interacting with you, I don't think I was entirely wrong to have the assumption of a repeat performance."
Don't those kind of assumptions become entirely wrong after seeing me make a 'valid response'-as you put it-that already presented reasons why said game wouldn't be included? There's no ire by me to be deciphered within text.
Also, I vaguely remember h...
In regards to your first portion: Do I need to wait until displays of slander in an attempt to get a rise out of me blow over or should I take that and your avoidance, unless directly approached, as a sign that I'm not welcome to discuss...anything in your blogs? Overall, it's rather disheartening to see this first portion as part of your reply towards me after what I stated in my closing response to you (in another thread).
Nevertheless, I thank you for taking the ...
Did I already mention the reason(s) why 'The Gunstringer' isn't mentioned? Just curious b/c you didn't say '@coolbeans' in this comment.
The Gunstringer is the only game (I can think of) closely resembling what 'core' gamers may be interested in that's missing from the list; however, it's fair to point out the development history, or the fact that each one is bundled with a Kinect arcade game, to have a good argument for that game to not be counted (I'm guessing you wanted to limit the blog to 'core' Kinect titles that were always intended for retail?). Regardless of its final determined category, ...
Very surprised to see neither of the Geometry War games listed. Not that much love for platformers either.
We just won't understand
"And this one costs $20 less."
Yeah, given how many exemplary $60 titles may only have an average of 6-8 hours, I think 4-6 (general time I've heard for Sorcery) hours for a Move game that starts out costing 33% less than the average retail game is enough.
Does anyone who's played the game know if there's any replay value: collectibles that get you invested more in the lore, hidden goodies that provide new powers, and/or unlockable artwo...
Just dye my hair black, give me a personal trainer to help me put on 20-30 more pounds of muscle, and you're good to go. :)
-"conveniently breezing over the fact that just because you think someones intentions are 'childish' does not make it so."
Just..like claiming your intentions are 'legitmate' doesn't make it so either? This portion leads you nowhere. I've seen the extra depth you've given as to why you decided to make that sarky comment and still vehemently disagree that it should be considered a valid response (in this situation).

"Almost like you want my comment to be removed for 'personal attack' or 'offensive' because you disagree with what it represents. Now that you've let it be known that you're in fact Christian just makes it all the more fishy."

-"There is absolutely no logic behind Adam's year-long journey and his failure to accumulate anything of use."
I honestly think you're being a bit harsh on how believable the situations are. After reading "The Road," I thought the idea of him harldy any non-perishables left to be within the realm of reason. The Man (<- character in the novel) carried a pistol with the same 2 bullets in it for a handful of years; him and The Boy also ran low on...
-"I pride myself on being open minded and I won't have people questioning this so condescendingly."
If you pride yourself so much in it, then it seems fair for other posters to constantly demand you show your open-mindedness on this topic and not use cheap measures in order to "tempt people out of hiding."
-"Now, I've wasted my bubbles defending myself from your, ever so slightly pretentious, assumptions."
-" 'It's kind of pathetic to hide behind this as to why you might be getting disagrees'
Civil you say?"
...We can let the community decide in the end, but I thought that statement was within the realm of civility, given the comment that predates it. My comment doesn't boast any sort of slanderous retaliation against YOU, just your defense as to why you might be getting disagrees and acting as if your approach is without its own crit...
"Edit: Judging by the agree/disagree ratio, 360ice was right that there are more 'believers' on this site than you might think"
It's kind of pathetic to hide behind this as to why you might be getting disagrees. You and I both know there's a better avenue for discourse-especially in these types of threads-than to just hammer someone else with annoying sarcasm.
While silent did say he doesn't want to argue about this, that doesn&...
but I have to disagree with the first half of his quote. It seems...a bit desperate to contort a term like 'violence' to also meaning a human's natural drive to define himself/herself, whether through geographical, religious, or other means.
Separation, and the independence in defining yourself from others, has basically caused the same amount of physical + mental harm as a forced unity; history can vouch for that.
No :P
Soon though, my goal of having more than 10 (or more) bubs solely from others bubbling me up will become a reality; in turn, always guaranteeing I have the last word in every argument!
*evil laugh* >:D
