TalkBack / RE: Games Too Complicated? Carmack Agrees.
« on: August 23, 2003, 10:47:24 PM »
It's nice and all to say games are too complicated, and that may be true but it's not true for PC RPGs. PC RPGs are complicated because true roleplaying games are complex, non-linear and take a lot of effort to do. True roleplaying game fans demand complexity as they want to be able to create a character all their own and through out the game choose should he/she save the kid in the well, should he go on a homicidal rampage, or join the local criminals in a town and get everything he can or just try to put them away. That is the essence of roleplaying, you can't make it simple without getting rid of the roleplay. Hell just look at the word "role-play" its about playing a role as you see fit, not as some designer who is only good at making engines and not gameplay. Also Miyamoto is a true genius, he is known for good gameplay average graphics. It's tottaly the other way around for Carmack. It's a shame the standards for being a genius have gone down so much.
