Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Tell me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience without telling me you’ve never tried to code a complex interactive experience.

I actually have, and have worked on multi person teams doing such.

Its why this line of argument rings so hollow.

Even if I didn’t, I could obviously point to the many games that do have levels of granularity like this, and are completely successful at it.

If you think it’s so easy to take every element of a highly complex, performance sensitive program and make it possible to pick and choose which ones you experience without breaking the whole experience or turning a 1 year project into a 10 year project, go ahead and try.

See, this is what is called the most blatant strawman argument I have ever seen. It is so obviously so far removed from anything I’ve suggested its laughable on its face.

Do you also ask movie directors to make their movies so that when you hit ‘skip scene’ because you don’t like the way the scene looks, it still makes a good movie?

Yet another nonsensical analogy for obvious reasons. You wouldn’t need this obviously badly fitting analogies if your POV had merit.

What movies don’t let you skip past some scenes based on what you’d like? I very frequently speed up/skip parts in movies that move too slow, or even rewatch parts that I miss. Its most definitely an additive part of the experience.

That’s just your failure to understand there are more kinds of museum than a history museum.

All museums do what I am talking about. Your pedantry about it being more than history does not at all change the merit of the point made.

The analogy is a failure, to be sure, but only because I hadn’t considered the possibility you wouldn’t have that piece of common knowledge. Now that you do have that knowledge, though, if you can’t see the analogy, that’s on you.

Except that the literal only thing you could point out that was wrong with my critcism of it, was pedantic and had no effect on the effectiveness of the point.

Being stubborn is a virtue to you I suppose.
