OMFG !!!

Freaking puzzles? I HATE PUZZLES IN GAMES.

I was gonna try this game Stargate Worlds because its an awesome show series; but as it stands, I just dont enjoy puzzles in my games. It shows that they really dont have much content in the game if they have to resort to puzzles.

No thanks, I'm not buying it. Role-playing games dont really need puzzles because they should be immersive in other ways. Ugly puzzles (*especially* when their difficulty gets worse as you progress) blocking enterance to a zone or (especially) an ability, frankly, annoy the fuck out of me. No thanks.

I will not be buying Stargate Worlds now, unfortunately. There are plenty of other MMORPG options that dont have gay puzzles that take the place of lack of content. Upcoming games like, say, Darkfall, Age of Conan, Warhammer Online, Unleash the Fury, to name a few...

This actually makes me pretty angry.

Seriously, I do not see much of an audience for content-unlocking puzzles in the MMO crowd. Players want fun, not frustration.

Bad move for Stargate Worlds, IMO.

I have written them off my list of games to buy, permanently.

 

EDIT -- Actually I changed my mind... what.... three months ago, about this. Stargate Worlds is gonna rule! (even with puzzles)

Of course not, It may hurt our brain cells and you know how precious those are. We shouldn't tax them, who knows they might break!

Didnt you even READ THE ARTICLE?

I dont think you get it.

Its not "reading and thinking" in the game. Its not based on actual in-game content.

Its a pop-up that is puzzle. Like a puzzle you put together at Christmas. Get it? Got it?

Its like stuff you did in grade-school or when you're extremely bored.

Read the article, then talk to me.

Well again this is a game that is a long long long way off so there is no way I could judge a game and say I won't play it until it releases and I get to try it out and see. With this game I could see how Puzzles could work and be alot of fun and would be different than other mmos could be good Ill definatly keep my Eye on this game :)

Hey, if you wanna play this sort of game, go play Puzzle Pirates.

I dont like Puzzle Pirates. I say again, they shouldnt pollute Stargate Worlds with gay puzzles.

Stargate SG-1 is about action. And also about fixing problems in-game. Not stupid puzzles.

You fanboys are impossible to reason with. You are blind, dumb idiots that cant think for themselves.

Stargate SG-1 team fixed things with other content elements. They didnt do stupid cross-word puzzles to save Earth. They actually did stuff within the gameworld. However, now this reveals that they cant make a simulated world so they wanna make it into Puzzle Pirates.

I dont care what you think, I know I wont try it until they have toned down the puzzle elements.

If you want to spend two hours on an extremely intricate puzzle that unlocks a high-end skill-set or area, then thats YOUR PROBLEM. I dont want to. Its NOT FUN to me. I would rather PK you while you solve your little puzzle. To me, thats fun. To you, maybe you like to prove to yourself how smart you are. I dont need puzzles to tell me how smart I am, and I also dont think puzzles are fun. Psssh.

Are you freaking serious?  Every other episode they are trying to figure out some puzzle or decipher some ancient language.  Have you ever even watched the show or do you just tivo it and fast forward through to the shootouts?

You dont really get it. Really, youre the one that cant fathom this complaint of mine. After this post here, I am done with my argument in this thread.

In the television shows they werent doing cross-word puzzles or some such shit. They were deciphering languages. They were figuring out astro-physics. YOU WONT BE DOING THAT. You will be solving little puzzles because they arent able to have a sufficiently simulated worldscape to implement anything else.

Really, I would rather have the game emulate those methods (like all other MMORPGs) using in-game player-character abstractions like skillsets (its called "roleplaying)", instead of me doing boring, repetitive "puzzles" that are... dull waste of time.

Thats it. I'm done. I'm out of here. Bye, fanboys.

I just read the article and actually think it's pretty cool.  Something non-combat once in a while keeps it interesting.  I can only kill so many people/aliens until it loses its luster.  My dad, who is a huge SG fan, will love this because he is not a big combat gaming person.  So I might be able to convince my dad to play with me in this one!  Thanks for the link to the article.
