what an argument!


Honestly, why use 50 words when 2 will suffice? If you missed out on Atari's greats then that sucks. Hence poor you... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

historically a game has ever been an imitation of RL life (i can make the difference between a game and RL, thanks) but more the principles of life will be well imitated more it will be a good game...


A good point but too black and white. There is such a thing as going over the top. You can include too much in a game. This is time-consuming and pointless. Especially when said skills do pretty much the same damn thing!

Including the priciples of life is essential. Otherwise you create a totally alien system. Nobody would buy that. There are many games that do it better though. That is the point I'm trying to clarify.

Good discussion MG. I'm off home now though. Argue with some other git till tomorrow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
