[quote]I will always say this, destiny has the greatest potential I've ever seen.[/quote]How do you measure a game's potential?
English
-
I measure it by how much of a story a game could tell and what gameplay can be made from that story. Like ,God of War had a lot of potential because there were a lot of stories that could be told about Kratos and the potential gods he could fight. Translate that to gameplay, you could make countless enemies to fight, weapons to use, and levels to design. There are a lotta stories in Destiny that could be told to players and an endless amount of ways that Bungie could make gameplay from that story. Not all games have that option.

-
Multiple reasons, some only have a simple stories that end quickly. So you can't make new gameplay from their stories. Or the gameplay doesn't isn't interesting enough. That answer your question
-
[quote]That answer your question[/quote] Not really. Don't other games have the potential to have new stories within their universes or have their gameplay improved?
-
Hey man that's just how I measure it. Agree to disagree
-
Lol there's nothing to disagree with. You're just describing what you're measuring, but now how you measure it. Do other games not have the potential to have their gameplay improved & more stories added to their universes?
-
[quote]You're just describing what you're measuring, but now how you measure it.[/quote] To which I provided a framework to measure it. And now you’re demanding I have to answer for his conclusion cause you couldn’t argue against the metrics I made up. So nice try. You failed. That makes you a loser. You’ve failed again in trying to shift the goalposts. That makes you a loser. Then you lied about wanting metrics after you couldn’t argue against the ones I provided. That makes you a loser. What happens when you keep being a loser? That’s right. You stay a loser. 😎
-
Or keep doing it, I guess lol
-
Idk, but i assume he's talking about what this game could've been. Lightfall not being terrible, Crucible being balanced, and pve fun.
-
Yeah but I don't get how someone decides what game has more potential than another. Like anyone can play any game & imagine it being better.
-
That only works if you ignore the fact that Destiny’s storyline was set back by being rewritten. Which by default means we lost time to fully explore the designed potential of the game. So it’s not baseless speculation or idle imagining
-
[quote]So it’s not baseless speculation or idle imagining[/quote]That's exactly what it is. For all you know, the original story could've been worse than what we got.
-
You’re conflating potential with actualized quality. A ten year story has more potential than a on the fly revised story condensed into a shorter span.
-
[quote]A ten year story has more potential than a on the fly revised story condensed into a shorter span.[/quote]How?
-
Less time means less content. And the fact that there is content post FS, after the ten year mark, shows the delay effect of the rewriting.
-
[quote]Less time means less content.[/quote]& less content means less potential?
-
Less time does means less potential, a video games story’s potential is inherently limited by the time you have to develop and make it. So time constraints are always a major factor. You either stick with a hard point or let it evolve until you/the players decide it’s over. Bungie made the decision to adhere to a ten year frame, thereby limiting the time they had to creatively build and thus limiting potential. And since you seem to mistake potential with actualized quality, I covered that with less content. 🤣
-
[quote]a video games story’s potential is inherently limited by the time you have to develop and make it.[/quote]So then why would the OP say Destiny has more potential than any other game?
-
Why are you asking me about someone’s opinion ? You asked about metrics, we are talking metrics. Don’t change the subject. Is the metrics issue resolved now?
-
Edited by Jvp WReNCh: 3/25/2024 12:46:37 AM[quote]Why are you asking me about someone’s opinion ?[/quote]Because my original comment was asking the OP how he measures potential. It's still there if you wanna read it again. So you disagree with his take that Destiny has more potential than any other game?
-
Well then you’ve mistaken the reason behind my presence. You asked how such an opinion could be measured and I established a reasonable framework from which potential could be measured. You don’t ask random strangers to validate someone’s opinion. So then as my part of this discussion is finished, you may continue without me.
-
So you disagree with his take that Destiny has more potential than any other game?
-
Don’t know either way, haven’t looked into the subject
-
What is there to look into? If you believe potential is measured by the amount of content, then you either believe Destiny has more content than any other game or you don't.
-
You’re once again confusing potential with actualized. And yet again trying to get me to answer for someone else’s opinion. So you’re clearly not fit for a discussion with me. Bye bye now.
