in the topic Taking the creator away from the creation in the forum The Lounge

To me, the important thing is not keping the creator(s) themselves in charge, it's maintaining the spirit of their creation in subsequent followups. The (semi) recent release of Sonic Mania is an excellent example of this. The team behind it had nothing to do with the development of the original Genesis titles, yet despite that they made a game that, at worst, is a worthy followup to the classic Sonic games and at best surpasses them. Why? Because it was made by fans of the original games that knew what made them great and maintained that in Mania. By contrast Sonic Team itself has produced far more misses than hits since the Genesis days, in part because they have a tendency of adding stuff that is antithetical to a Sonic game. Now granted, the easiest way to maintain the spirit of the original creation in sequels is to keep the original creator(s) involved (usually anyway) but as games like Sonic Mania showed, it's by no means required. And even then, there are occasionally new entries in certain IPs that I enjoy despite doing little to nothing to maintain the spirit of the originals. For example, I love KOTOR II's deconstruction of the tropes and plot elements we take for granted in Star Wars, despite the fact that in doing so it couldn't be farther apart from the original films.

in the topic Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus in the forum General Gaming

I thought The New Order and The Old Blood were both pretty good, and this one sounds like it's better, if only a little. I'll probably wait until it goes on sale before picking it up though.

in the topic Breath of the Wild in the forum General Gaming

Beat it yesterday. Still have a lot of side content to work through though. It was good, if you ask me, but not as amazing as others make it out to be. This post was edited by Albino at July 8, 2017 3:18 PM EDT

in the topic Middle Earth: Shadow of War (looks really, really good) in the forum General Gaming

I played through Shadow of Mordor and found it thoroughly underwhelming, so I doubt I'll be picking this up.

in the topic Decision Time: Ning or SocialEngine in the forum The Lounge

You guys are absolutely free to believe whether or not ***********'s only reason for existence is to talk shit about the Vault and steal its members but at the end of the day the decision that needs to be made is "Ning or Social Engine", not "Ning, Social Engine, or ************". So if you think ************ isn't good then I advise you to stick with talking about this site. With that being said, Hawkward does make a good point. The point of the thread is to discuss whether or not we should stick with Social Engine or go back to Ning so Caesar is well within his rights to argue in favor of the latter. Personally, I still think it's too risky a gamble without solid evidence that the situation on Ning is improving but that's just me. EDIT: Forgot about the filter. Oh well, you guys still get what I'm talking about. This post was edited by Albino at October 25, 2016 9:16 PM EDT
