Unless she specifically said I want no combat in games, that is not the equivalent of taking the game out of games.JazzJack2 said:wulf3n said:No, she wanted the option to skip combat if the player so chooses. A very big difference.thenoblitt said:she did want to take the game aspect out of gaming, and that really bothers me.
Err how is it that any different? if she has said wanted other gameplay alternatives to combat within a game with combat I.E things like Fallout 1 & 2 or Deus Ex where you can stealth or talk your way out of combat if you didn't want to do it then I'd largely agree because it doesn't sacrifice gameplay but actually expands upon it. But she didn't want this, all she wanted was a big fat button to skip combat with no gameplay alternatives and this essentially means she wanted the gameplay of a game to be skip-able which is very much 'taking the game out gaming.'
It is an option. Nothing more. You can either press the button. Or not.
It only affects those who actually use said function.
I mean, L.A Noire basically did this and nobody raised a stink about it.
