I'd like to thank 343 for making a perfect game in Halo MCC...... oh wait nvm.


Let's keep this positive, please. There's plenty more threads on this forum to vent your frustrations. This thread is to give sincere thanks. 

Thanks, everyone, for such nice words. I can tell how much these people have filled places in our lives. I went ahead and did some research about a designer I didn't know before. His name is David Crane and he is probably best known for founding Activision. The reason I looked him up, though, was because he actually created the precursor to the level design found in Metroid. Pitfall 2 was without a doubt the most complicated, open world platformers on the Atari. Crane also heavily warned against porting arcade titles to home consoles, fearing a glut of rehashes and "me-too" software that would generate instant cash, but not long term success of the platform. After leaving Activision Crane's most successful title would probably be A Boy and His Blob, an unusual title that recently was treated to a modern retake with updated visuals.
