And this isn't happening already? |

Hmmmm... I would really like to flame your post some more but I'm doing my best to remain tactful considering I'm relatively new to the community :P
Oh come on now, it was just a little comedy, after reading a few threads complaining about the complexity of something I find to be quite simple and striat forward.
It was NOT ment in poor taste, and, if you took it that way, I would have to say that you are just being over sensitive.
But flame on if you feel the need. |

I could post quotes and everyone could decide for themselves if you like? |

"Casual" and "hardcore" were not my terminology, dumb and smart were however. Hay, I just call'em as I see'em (as I said I can post the quotes if you like). Man, I've never seen so much out rage over a word a fifth grader would use.
Shijima Kuraimaru wrote:Also, certificates do not denote career paths. For example, say you get all your turret control skills to lvl 5... You would be eligible for a turret control mastery certificate. They're for specific skill groups, not career paths, and they don't allow for automatic allocation of SP. But they do tell you what skills you need at what level to get said certificates.
I would have to agree with you on that one. Nope, not at all the same. |

Shijima Kuraimaru wrote:"Casual (dumb) gamer Vs. hardcore (smart) gamer" directly from the title of the thread with implications in the post, but I was joking anyway so it doesn't really matter.
I said it was "a little comedy" I never said anything about "joking" bubba. And there is a big difference.
This Sums up my feelings about the matter quite nicely:
Edu Ashbourne wrote:You know, I'd rather we'd discuss the skill tree thing then regress into that "that hurt my feelings, you must apologise!" social justice malarkey. There's enough of that stuff in the news.
Whether it offends you or not, the smarts and attention spans of the average gamer have taken a fall over the years and game quality has suffered by catering to it. Dishonored's dev team said that when their levels were entirely open choice, playtesters would wonder aimlessly for hours because there wasn't anything to tell them what to do. It's scary stuff.
Man by the ridiculousness of the majority of the posters on this thread, you would think that I called some "African American" a black guy or "Anglo American" a white guy. Oh you know what? I do that all the time, oops so sorry... not. I'm tired of this ridiculous PC bullsh!t.-á
Now, is everyone going to continue to contemplate killing the messenger, or are we going to move forward and actually start considering the message, or is everyone here so dumb that they can't think of anything of worth to contribute to this thread. (now, you see, that was comedy, but I was not joking. You people need to grow a funny bone).
Some times, a swift kick in the @$$ is what is necessary, when dealing with people. And that is a life lesson that is learned through personal experience. |
