[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 7685814, member: 10738"] First: I don't really like John Wick. Let's get that out of the way. But I dislike character assassins online even more. #1: Was Galaxy XXX actually released? I just read that entire article you posted and it was a reasonable discussion of how difficult it is to make a game in that conceptual space. Enough so that he stopped making it, at least as of the end of that article, while re-evaluating how he could execute the concept. What was described there isn't even fractionally as disturbing as FATAL. (EDIT: And like Giancarlo points out, wasn't it an April Fool's piece???) #2. is the reason John Wick annoys me. I read that article a long time ago and disliked his assertions. However, it does not negate his prior works (he did a great job on 7th Sea). #3. My experience with John's videos is that he is typical of a pretty large chunk of the gamer community: a bit over-obsessed with analyzing this hobby, to the detriment of a reality check at times. Not nearly enough time to parse out which videos brought you and your merry friends to derisive laughter but maybe you could post specific links? I'm not saying that it's unjustified....I have found pretty much Zero videos about RPGs on Youtube to be anything I want to connect with....but if your goal is mockery of someone who is honestly fairly typical of the average over-obsessed gamer personality then I'm just not sure why you're here. EDIT 2: Actually, on reflection I'll just state that I suppose it's a non-issue, but I think I only really took umbrage because I dislike efforts to convince people that a person's entire body of work is negated by portions of it, their personality, or (insert here). 7th Sea doesn't stop being a decent system just because you dislike John Wick. But....like I said, I am not a fan of his either, but my dismissiveness of him isn't really any better than your mockery of him. [/QUOTE]
