No pete don't listen to them. Just keep your mouth shut until you can show us prof in a demo. If he actually behaves I may end up buying this on launch day. If he hypes this game to early I will not.
Thomas I too am a writer, unpublished want to be really. I understand what your posting and agree with you on most points.
"That doesn't mean there should always be a choice. Sometimes I just want to be told a story. Sometimes I want to help create a story." thats a quote from my post.
Some games Like Mass Effect, Oblivion, and Saints Row are about the devolper and end user working together to tell an amazing story. Other games like Beyond Good and Evil, and Metal Gear Solid are about the gamer experiencing the developers great story.
Clearly you are a writer. That was one of the most well written post I have ever seen on joystiq.
I love the 360 but microsoft is starting to piss me off. All of our exclusives eventually come out on the PC, and they charge us out the ass for shit like the wifi adapter.
Some of you peeps need to learn how to read. No one is suggesting that girls don't like playing as guys in games. We are saying girls like having the choice.
Look at it this way. I liked fable because it was a solid game with a good, if not shallow fighting system. I would have loved it had I been able to choose my race, gender, weight, height, ect. I love it when devolpers give me choices. It allows me to take a game my have only liked at first and turn it into a game I love.
That doesn't mean there should always be a choice. Some times I just want to be told a story. Sometimes I want to help create a story.
If you "Hard Core gamers" ever want gaming to be taken seriously as a source of entertainment, you have to at least listen to 51% of the population, and not call them cry babies when they voice there oppion.
007craft. Playing as a guy is great. playing as a girl is great. Having the option to choose is better. Having the option to choose allows you to make the charcter more like someone you can relate to.
I loved Kotor because It was one of the few games where I could play a black character I could relate to.
Danno. You could have a homosexual relation ship in jade empire.
here is an Idea (short loading times.) No one is going to freak out if there is a 2-3 second load when entering buildings. I think THQ just wants to use the no loading time thing as a gimick. Look where its got them. The game was scheduled to come out at launch.
Oh well every day they delay is a day they get closer to the launch of GTAIV
