BTW jackzor I have friends who work for Bungie external to this campaign. I can't say what they are working on but generally developers are asked to contribute their expertise in specific areas and is a constant as the game is nothing but feed content into a huge database - It is not a competition of best but more what will work for them with what they are designing. You may have good design art, AI programming or skinning but it comes down to the Art Director having to make decisions based what will work with the game engine build. And their is always going to be good artists. We lack the ability to bring new ways to bend the space in a game engine. Currently there are some exceptional physics programmers working in 0 gravity spheres that may work in new multi-layer design engines of the future. This tech is at least 5 years away so don't get too excited. However if you want to learn about this stuff it requires a relatively high level of learning and very good maths + physics.

.

Well it has to be said - fewer 'all teched up' people follow good developer news today.

And what do you get when a good proportion of gamers probably are influenced more by hype because of their age and intelligence alone is less than a satisfactory ability to discern quality design in their buying demand for be the first to finish the next release.

This is becoming a little like watching lemmings take a leap of faith only to find that they cant fly or swim. SPLAT.

You idiots woh support these trashy half baked game are not doing anything to support better game designers in smaller institution from bring the next level of quality to the fore. Instead you think that Bungie as a well known trademark will always bring better game design. WRONG - they are in this market to dupe you into thinking their track record is unblemished and relable but instead you have been a sucker - Rhey just pulled 500 million dollars from your pockets for this mistake of rubbish design. They are laughing at you.

I think its shameful and I have put a mark against Bungie to keep a watchful eye on any content I buy from their future releases regardless of publicity hype. It is just a huge mistake that you people don't read enough and learn what makes good game design. You play this content. Why don't you care more about what you expect than be the stupid lemmings of this world.

I've had enough here - I'm going back to Minecraft to bury myself in a deep hole. I didn't get sucked in to buying this game.

And FYI there is little good quality for the new consoles if you have one. You will wait at least 2-3 years for anything that really shakes this lazy gaming community to it's core. Can't wait that long? Go buy some books and learn to read about game design so you make better decisions in the future.
