| marley said: What I took that to mean was "We don't think Splatoon would benefit from voice chat and at the same time believe it would give some players an unfair advantage". I think they want to keep an even playing field and more importantly want to keep people from having to deal with dickishness. I don't really understand why you think that contradicts them bringing everyone into the game slowly to keep everyone even. In my mind it only reinforces it. |
"We want players to develop strategies." - "It would be mostly for strategic use." You don't see a contradiction with those two ideas.
As for leveling the playing field; an okay idea but how will you attract people who play competitive games online and enjoy winning and getting skilled and climbing rankings if you make it a point not to include the simplest tools and options made to said gamers in other titles? And how will the more "casual" players enjoy taking part in matches with these more dedicated players?
I think this is another case of trying to appeal to everyone, and I don't think it will work very well in the long run.
I'm sorry, there's nothing anyone in this thread can say to change my mind on this. Making the choices, fine. Ridiculous explanations as to why; not fine in my opinion.
The world won't stop turning even if we disagree, but I really, truly believe that this is hogwash on their part.
