Heh thats what I did with EVE though I did make it out to into space but I couldn't quite graps the controls. Seems like it would be a fun game though.

Originally posted by greymann They are supposed to. I like to use single player games as an example. Your first moments in a game usually immerses yourself in that gameworld, so you can get lost in it. You never are told by the quest givers to press this or that button, instead, pop-ups come up with "Press A to Attack" and etc. Also the quests grab you in and introduces you to the mystery that you are to solve. Take Oblivion for example. It starts you off as a prisoner and the first thing you hear is some prisoner talking smack, which you can kill later if you want. Next the King and his guards walk through your cell, which allows you to escape through the back passages that the king nad his guards are taking. Along the way you engage in combat for your first time and get some armor. You even get to lock pick from the get go. Or take God of War for example. You start off on a ship that is being attacked. You immediately are immersed in the world and are like "WTF, Why are you attacking my boat," as you commense to kicking their asses. Giving a player a number in your quest, such as "Collect 7 of these or Kill 9 of those" is just bad. Instead, it should start out like "There is this local Bandit Lord in the nearby caves. I want you to prove your worth to our village by infliltrating his ranks and assassinating the Bandit Lord. Or, if you are so bold, just wipe them all out. I will pay you a sum of 50s if you are successful and will let you choose another reward from our village vault." By doing this, it allows the new person the freedom to do as he chooses (infiltrate or kill them all) and accomplishes the same thing as the kill quest. After all, he will probably kill 9 bandits during this quest anyways. |

I stopped getting PC Gamer years ago the magazine was just full of in jokes and the reviewers kept on bitching about they had to review what they got given by the editor and frankly if it wasn't a FPS game it was unlikely it would get anything about 5/10. This magazine has a 2 month lead time on it so what they are reporting on is now over 8 weeks old. This is why I saved my money by not getting this rubbish magazine and use the internet for demos/ and trials. |
