[Kalyx triaD]

Forgot you added this.

Rog, this is the part where you kind of lose it. I'm not sure why you break down like this. It's not a good look. You shouldn't internalize this kind of convo. We were talking game mechanics, and somehow that led to you writing the following nonsense.

If he wants to be punchy then I might as well just go back to how stupid he is by not understanding the intention of the danger zone radar.

Again, we were talking about game design and mechanics. I am 'stupid' now.

I suppose it was designed by Bungie, what the fuck do they know.

I don't subscribe to the notion that devs can do nothing wrong ever. Even one as celebrated as Bungie. Evident by their major patches. So in this case, yeah, they should have known better. It's also disappointing that after all this time you're deferring to an authority. Only two AAA games use this kind of radar.

Shall we play this 'defer to authority' game? Shall I raise you a few studios?

I also happen to really like to like it but I am not some fucking off the shelf neogaffer/redditor like Kalyx so I have to watch him explain games I've played to me at length.

I repeat: We were talking about game design. Rog has taken something personal and I'm not sure why.

Also, if you like it that could have been end of conversation. Instead you tried to defend it, which future readers of this thread will judge accordingly.

I'm sure you played a lot of shooters. But it is evident to me, that you aren't as far along in how FPS games actually work as I am. I'm not trying to pull rank or anything, but you haven't even once met my analysis with any substantive counter-argument/analysis. And instead of then making this a learning experience or an open discussion in competitive FPS design, you're calling me a neogaffer/redditor (neither sites I actually frequent), 'stupid', and... condescending, by your tone?

It speaks volumes that you're reacting like this. We were talking about game design. What are we doing here?

From someone who proffered that we were idiots for not shooting the walls in Splatoon that's a big fat lol.

Oh yes this launch period gaff certainly dismisses the fucking... pages of game analysis, commentary, review, advice, and generally chit-chatting in the VG forum.

Ignore everything Kalyx wrote in this thread. He thought painting the walls added to the score in Splatoon. Nay, The Rogerer is our man right here.

No.

And Halo 1 came out before CoD but it popularised the regenerating idea,

No it didn't. You're gonna have to do better than posit this. You have shown yourself to not fully understand this subject. You can't just say things.

I know it wasn't literally regenerating health in Halo but it inspired the mechanic you poindexter

No it didn't.

It is no longer a half joke; Walk away.
