I agree, seeing how we are both high profiled game developers. Hell, you've probably done 12 hrs in the snow, uphill, with only Windows Vista to work with. All those millions of spoiled Americanized workers with their 8 hrs a day "I want to see my children" types. I bet those lazy Team Bondai workers wanted to have 30 min lunches and to be paid their hundred of hours of overtime too. The bums.
What's not tactical about running (on what seems to be roller skates) into any room guns a blazing shooting at anything with a pulse, have your health regenerate magicly, lunge five feet for knife kills, or spawn kill with a grenade launcher? You can even use stealth tactics, because everything short of a rocket launcher can be equipped with a suppressor.
Besides this COD type gameplay has to be paper thin. How else would publishers safely beat us over the heads with it?
Don't get me wrong. I respect the work Valve has done, but he is not the second coming and I don't hang on his every opinion. Valve as the highest known potential to do something with the platform, but I've got to see it first. My developers claimed what they could do with the Wii and nothing significant was realized. Either way, much luck to Valve.
Why is that statement funny? He is right, Elite is an innovation. It's a great new and exciting way to milk a video game franchise and nickle and dime fans.
