It's not. I fully endorse that type of game design. It's just very ironic considering how archaic many Nintendo handle unlocks. Wii Fit makes you play for, correct me if I'm wrong, 3 hours before you get boxing (or it might have been snowboarding). Why?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Just quoting this so it doesn't get buried in the thread:

I liked the part where the two researchers were demoing Motion Control at the Sony Conference, and one of the guys went...
"Tickle tickle!!!" :lol :lol
I genuinely laughed. I'd hang out with them... they seemed like good people.

Actually you're wrong. From what they "announced" at E3, Noobisoft is actually helping them create over 100 scenes for the movie.
Oh and the quote that made everyone say "OH SNAP" was the one during Natal's presentation taking a stab at Wiimote for having "pre-defined moves".

Well Kaz Hirai did a bit of it, e.g. when he mentioned MGS and was about to switch gears to Hideo Kojima.Catalix said:
The PSEye guys always seem pretty awesome. Just wish Rick Marx would let go of the IF YOU WERE IN AN RPG AND CHOSE FIREBALL AND YOU COULD THROW IT analogy, it's been about 6 years or so since the tech demo in that PS2 demo disc and we really don't wanna hear anymore fireball shenanigans.iamcool388 said:

The problem isn't that they exist, it's that so many people go crazy over them. There's absolutely no point in getting them. Or, at least, there's absolutely no point in playing games you know will be bad just to get more achievements to increase your gamerscore. You can't buy things with achievement points, so what's the big fucking deal?

I wonder how you feel about that comment now, a few days later. I'm kind of surprised about the amount of enthusiasm coming from someone I don't remember being overly into Wii and Eyetoy kind of games.Gary Whitta said:Wow, that was some week, huh!

I've always been a big believer in the Wii and motion control. I'm sure I could dig up some old podcasts and quotes to support that if I could be bothered, but I can't. But I camped out overnight for a Wii at launch and have both the PS Eye and the original EyeToy. I love that experimental stuff, even if the full potential of its application isn't immediately apparent. And I think Natal is (potentially) fantastic.Lord Error said:
As for that quote... ha, I guess I wrote gaming magazine coverlines for too many years; the habit of making fairly exaggerated statements in order to get a reaction/grab people's attention is a hard one to break. I still think when all is said and done at the end of this generation the 360 will be deemed my most non-biased pundits to have "won".

No need to dig anything up - I believe you, and sorry for that comment. I just must have mixed you up with someone else, and I think I know who actually.Gary Whitta said:

Well, if first party support is anything to go by, Sony is definitely unmatched. It's what I love about Sony. I would say they certainly weren't outdone by anyone this E3.

What about that Peter Molyneux quote: "I want you to take a moment and think about what that means."
Or was that just a meme that popped up from a quote he said earlier?

Were Muppet's posts in that thread proven to be a joke? I always just assumed he'd lost it for a bit.pakkit said:

Sweet Zombie Jesus, the ego on this guy. Personally I don't think the "How awesome/So awesome" meme quite lives up to All You Need is Love, but I guess that's subjective.

Mielke is such a raging fanboy its horrific. His interviews with Itagaki and Nomura always have this uncomfortable squirmy feeling to them. I mean calling yourself a "budding young game designer" when he hasn't designed shit...god damn. What a tool.
He must be so massively jealous of the other 1up crew now in the industry that its unbelievable.

Why is people going crazy over them a problem? While I'm not too concerned with my gamerscore, if people enjoy getting achievements, even from subpar games, good for them. And as I stated before, if they're designed well they can shape the way you play and enjoy the game, an example being the Geometry Wars games.
Saying that achievement points are pointless is odd, since using the same line of thinking you could say that playing games is completely pointless as well. You don't get shit for playing games (aside from very few exceptions like 1vs100), so why do it?
Struct09 said:
I think the actual argument would be this: there is a chemical distinction in the brain between "fun" and "addictive" behaviors. While it's entirely likely that many would mistake one for the other, because both create feelings of reward through endorphins, I believe we'd describe the former as healthy and the latter as unhealthy.
One might argue that the behavior described above (collecting achievements from games you don't enjoy) fits the latter description better than the former. Can I prove this? Absolutely not. It's purely a conjecture, and I certainly could be wrong. But if you're looking for a possible explanation, there it is.

I read through some of his history, but not enough to get a good sense of whether he was joking or not. Good to know.pakkit said:

This should be framed and hung up on this gaming generation's metaphorical wall.
This is basically the really old pedagogical question about extrinsic vs intrinsic motivation. I don't know if it's a good thing or not (I personally don't like it), but surely it's much harder to design a game without it so it might also be a matter of "pride"
Imo it's much better and safer to rely on the intrinsic properties of gameplay. You can mix extrinsic motivation into gameplay much more subtly too (like with MMOs or loot games hehe).Opiate said:
I'm almost sure you're right. This question is really old and the arguments are still going on. It's basically the same question as whether it's a good practice to pay children for good grades or not etc, loads of debates about this.

Unlockables can be different, they can also be used to give direction to the game and lead the player so that he tries every different feature for a bit (like in Rhythm Heaven or in fact the Wii... games). They can also serve the same function as achievements.

I think it's on an E3 1Up Podcast when he says it... as soon as someone mentioned it, I recalled it immediately. Can't remember which podcast, tho.
