Never, my answers to riddles are too dry-witted to be accurate.The Thinker said:
I never said I would answer these questions in a timely fashion. Let's just see how many questions I get, and for how many days this continues, before we see if I do manage to answer every single one.
Vermilion is my favorite color. The wavelength makes is more noticeable, and people often don't notice when I am in a room. It hides blood stains. And the Man in Black is a long time rival of mine.Ser Imp said:
Yahtzee is a name of a character in a video game Yahtzee made. It's also a game with dice, which is where it original probably came from.
Foolish. You really think having the game played on motorcycles is going to give you the edge you need to defeat me in a card game. I anticipated you would try something like this, and it would be naive to think this would be of any concern to me.Dfskelleton said:
They just don't care. Some are lazy, some think better game play require a sacrifice of realism, some find in play testing players expect guns to behave unrealistically (as many gamers don't fire firearms often), and most prefer using fire arms that are either fictional or models of guns extremely rare in reality because they look cool and are often in movies.StarCecil said:
Physics engines exist and the database of gun knowledge is out there, there's really no good reason why a developer couldn't make firearms extremely accurate. Still, the fact that they aren't is another hole in the argument that games train kids to shot people.
I am unable to answer that first question, as it goes against forum rules.njrk97 said:
The better question is why 2D platformers went away, I think platforming makes more sense from a 2D perspective. Still, these aren't completely dead... unless you mean adventure adventure. In which case I'll say most recent games don't do adventuring right, as its very low in the list of priorities they think gamers want.
This can be blame in part on 'casual gamers' who find puzzles and exploration boring or difficult, and think immersion is having action thrown in your face every minute. But I think casual gamers don't know what they really want, so developers ought to ignore this opinion. The Halo style life bar and lack of powerups also removes any reason for exploration in most platformers. People have almost gotten tired of this though, so we might see a shift back into adventuring soon enough, if publishers get the message. There's a reason Link and Mario games always sell, after all. People like the gameplay they offer, not the shallow characters.
