What do you think is missing from video games right now? [b]The option to play the game how I want to play it. For decades before, we've had Mods in PC games & Console games that provided the user with 10 different ways to complete a segment of a level, cite [a Bungie game] Halo: CE Assault On The Control Room - that particular level could be completed 100 different ways. However, compare this to many of [a bungie game] Reach's levels that (while better looking, obviously) felt like they could only be completed one or two ways before you've played it fully. There has certainly been a degrading in depth of what you can do in Single Player in the majority of games, likely because of one key reason - Multiplayer. [/b] Which do you think makes a better e-sport: DOTA, League of Legends, or Starcraft 2? Why? [b]Have never looked into any E-Sport enough to answer the question.[/b] Top Five MCs? (That stands for Master of Ceremonies, not Master Chief. Please answer in the form of five YouTube links.) [b]Not something I partake in[/b]. How and when did you first fall in love with Halo? [b]The first moment the first menu opened & the first theme began, that was when it began. Not much else I can say, other than what solidified my interest in it for the next decade was the incredible final few levels & the chemistry between the Chief & Cortana in these levels, along with a fantastic soundtrack & an ending sequence that left me wanting to play it 1000 times more.[/b] Which movie would you most like to play as a video game? (please submit your answer in the form of link to an iconic image from that movie) [b]It would have to a story in the sort of Anarchy genre of V For Vendetta, a story of one innocent person in a facist state caught up in something they have nothing to do with, eventually deciding to join up with some sort of group & eventually leading the whole country [world?] on a revolt. Would be incredible if done right. [url]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hjJQ_ge4NzU/T1yTKLUvagI/AAAAAAAAALs/FETjydVgBNU/s1600/V_for_Vendetta-thumb-560xauto-41210.jpg[/url][/b] PS. If anybody has any films like this, drop me a message. Do you think the game community could be doing more to cut down on harassment or unsporting behavior in general? [b] Not marketing the game to people under the game's age rating. Providing the mature gaming community with a gripping story & competitive, mature multiplayer will still make your game sell millions & will leave behind a positive legacy for your writers & your company. Unsporting behaviour will always be around, as will harassment - however there's a reason that it's basically non-existent on games like Arma 2 whereas it's rampant on CoD, one targets a mature, core audience whereas one targets to total mass market. Hitting a sweet spot in the middle satisfies core gamers & your bosses.[/b] What is the most memorable positive experience you had with a stranger while gaming online? [b]I find that strangers who have particular roles in the team which allows me to do my thing & work like cogs in a well oiled machine are the most positive to play with. Providing incentives to people to do this works well [Guild Wars 2 is a good example in the sense that it's been marketed to the masses, but the community is so teamwork focussed because the game is structured to reward it].[/b] What's the best game in your opinion - in terms of value/dollars ratio as opposed to raw quality - that came out this year? [b]This year? Skyrim. No question.[/b] If you could easily teach a thousand people one idea, what would it be? [b]You're probably nothing special, but you really could be[/b]. Is there one game (other than Halo) that you can point to that really hooked you and turned you into a gamer? What was it and why? [b] Ape Escape, that game is the only one I rate above CE. I love it to this day. [/b] [Edited on 09.20.2012 3:55 PM PDT]
