Scribblenauts

The sandbox element depends on the game. Some games have done it well (Warcraft 3), and others haven't (Super Smash Bros Brawl).
Also, some user made games are actually good, such as DotA. And just because a game is made by a professional doesn't mean it's good. There have been professional games to rival the stupidity of user-made content.

It's closer to a full game than an expansion and anyway he reviewed FEAR: Perseus Mandate which he said right in the beginning of the review was an expansion.Snowalker said:
Hmm, you have a fine point, well, your second point anyway, your frist is debateable.General Vagueness said:
I think you might wanna watch his review of Halo 3, you'll find he didn't really like it. So unless the escapist makes him review, he probably won't because he probably won't even play the game itself.
"No other medium does this. It'd be like reading a novel, and every few pages there's a crossword you can do, or there's a little short story booklet stapled to the page that says "YOU CAN READ THIS IF YOU WANT BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO! IT'S YOUR CHOICE!" And if you read that then it doesn't affect the story but the rest of the pages become slightly easier to turn."
I love this part...
Anyway, the problem that Yahtzee has with Scribblenauts is that the devs didn't really answer two key questions: Who are we designing the game for, and what are we trying to make them experience?

I dont know who are the biggest idiots, you or us. You because you're calling idiots those who come a watch your videos or read your articles and therefore pay your salary or we because we keep coming back after being called idiots, well i know i won't anymore.Yahtzee Croshaw said:
Yes, scribblenauts and all games that let you create your own levels or gameplay is bounded to the developer's imagination but is also bounded to the players imagination depending on wich one is the smallest and you proved yours smaller for what you said in your review.
You're not any better than anyone, i dont see you writing, painting or sculpting a masterpiece your just a piece in the system you trashtalk so much. Your just a guy that get payed for playing games and writing and drawing jokes about them but insulting your watchers as crossed the line for me. I can see that the greatness sense has reach you.
I want to know where's Yahtzee's suspension for the uncalled insults. I guess there isn't going to be any, the hypocrisy.
Edit: You call out people for playing open games instead of playing games design by profesionals but you called them out too when this people design levels that are like those designed by the profesionals.
Im trying to think of a case where being able to create your own level and gaming experience kind of worked.. Far Cry 2 kind of did a good job. Had a brilliant level editor, the only problem i found was that all the genuily good user created levels were being pushed away by remakes of other game's levels (Cod4 backlot remake for example) and real life or famous fictional places (Paris, helms deep, That star trek ship).
I liek it when the professionals make the stuff, that way, i know its good.

Ok, Ok, sorry for the insult. I've been in like 5 arguements this morning, so I'm kinda on edge. I didn't realize you were joking, so I assumed you were offended. I sure wish Internet had a tone of voice, these kinda of arguements could be easily avoided.Dark Templar said:
I never got why everyone is so convinced that the world is full of idiots.(Go ahead, tell me it's because I'm an idiot, it'll be very clever)
But that's the thing he IS calling himself an idiot, and he knows he is. It's like he said, Games are meant to entertain us we shouldn't be playing games to entertain ourselves by creating idiotic stages or conjuring different methods to go through a linear story line.The_root_of_all_evil said:
The moment we attempt to entertain ourselves through a video game we have proven ourselves to be idiots.
I've never played any game in which I believed I would have to entertain myself within the video game that should be entertaining me.
Meaning I've never played... Sims, This game, LBP, or any game in which I believe content is left out for the "player's" creativity unless it's appropriate. (like City of Heroes)
Another great way to tell if your an idiot and probably the most effective method, is to ask yourself these five questions.
1) Have I ever bleeped myself out ont he internet? (saying d*ck instead of dick.)
2) Have you ever been to ANY of the chans? (4chan, 7chan, etc)
3) Have you ever used any of the 'internet lingo', 'netspeak', or 'Memes' to either come across as a sarcastic prick, to seem intelligent, or to gain favor and respect from all your 'pixel buddies' all over the internet? (Tl;DR, cool story bro, etc)
4) Do you normally point out people's flaws in their post structure, grammar, or content instead of staying on topic or addressing what the person is trying to say? (Destrin would be a perfect example.)
5) Have you ever been called a Troll, or argued with a troll?
Answering yes to 2/5 makes you an idiot. Which yes, I am an idiot as well. I'm on the internet aren't I?
Whut? My brain couldn't register what the point of this forum is. *Quiet fool! Say something clever and i'll release some endorphins!* Okay brain. The balance of eqations in chemistry is how many groups of atoms need to create the required amount to complete the end result of the formulae
That's because HALO ODST is the Porsche 911 of video games. It just a copy of HALO 3 w/ a diff. box. I mean, it even comes with the HALO 3 multiplayer. They should have called it HALO 3: Revisited.Moccamonster said:
