The Gamer's Manifesto

John Cheese strikes again!
Anyway my personal take:
1. In shooters, not really that important, bot intelligence honestly doesn't matter much if they can't aim. And then what, only a certain percentage of their shots hit as a difficulty meter?
2. See Japan.
3. Ha! FF8 was trash. But yes, if that tech demo of ff7 is bullshit, then SAY it will be bullshit.
4. See Japan again.
5. See...guess what, Japan, once again.
6. Well, I am a QUICKSAVE WHORE. As in give me an emulator, and you'll find I use 5 or so save states constantly. This promotes sort of laziness, but I do agree some games won't die from a quicksave function.
7. Do you know that on an emulated PSX for computer, you will still get "loading" times? It's like built in.
8. Madden sucks!
9. I LIKE THIS. However, the thing you have to remember is, for a console, everytime you put in jump, you use up a button. PC, no excuse.
10. We've just started on being able to do this (HL2). Immersion only depends on the game honestly. How the hell would you immerse yourself in a tactics game?
11. Hm...again, depends on the game genre for point a. For point b, well, if you have multiple angles, who cares if you can just choose the one you want. Sometimes you want to see the sunset around you (See WoW or Everquest or whatever). Point c is YES. Keep it Japanese, stupid.
12. Yes about RPG triggers. No about ammo starvation (Ammo does not pop out of zombie dogs, immersion wise, and neither is it infinite.) Yes about confusing floor plans with no maps. Yes about instafail stealth levels. Not sure about ending levels, as most of the one's I've seen are RPGS, and as such, aren't challenging at all. Ambivalent about speed cheating, there's not much you can do with racing car AI (see 1) besides corner perfectly and taking the most effecient route. Speed cheating just gives them a chance, or would you rather they drive like God.
13. Unlocking stuff is CRUCIAL to keeping a gamer occupied. So no.
14. Haha on the crates. They seem to show up in FPS the most. I really have no beef with crates.
15. YES ON PATENTS. YES ON EA. YES ON CRAP.
16. Anarchy online, anyone?
17. Reminds me of the sega fantasy VI flash. People WANT their consoles to do their taxes...really a pity with nintendo there.
18. This WILL HAPPEN. Sony's giving in was ALREADY THE FIRST SIGN. Game economies, especially mmorpg economies, will become linked to normal economies.
19. AHAHAHA. Can't see your feet. I like that. Yes jumping puzzles are hilariously bad.
20. Eh, careness factor zero, I always had lots of room =D.
