If the game would have been complete, he wouldn't have had all those problems.

Evil cuts corners.

Cheap bastards.

Also, if they could beat the game to win, that means it doesn't have enough end-game content. Most of those gamers wouldn't stick around till the midnight deadline anyhow.

Quote:

I hope I explained why the team who got to the end were able to use several advantages that regular games couldn't have.

You did, I meant that if there's nothing to do after they beat the big boss, that means there isn't enough end-game content to hold hardcore players' attention. Modern games have a progression to either a boss or a maximum level, and then there are things to do after that to keep people playing.

        But the downside is weakness to tickling. · HH · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 10:24:09 am EDT
        
        That only produces more giggling though. · Anime Jason · Mon Oct 31, 2011 at 11:26:59 am EDT
