: You missed my point,
: I understand the concept of setting
: up a story, but you don't create a fantastic story,
: history and environment and then don't come back to it
: in the next installment. Look at Myth, I've played
: through all the solo levels hundered of times just to
: hear the the beginning story for the level. In Myth 2,
: it gave no history and provided no link to the past,
: it just gave you information on the level and just a
: bit of info on the story. Why they did this? Because
: everyone who reviewed their first game said
: "There needs to be more description of the level
: in the beginning and less set-up" so of course
: Bungie is going to listen to the reviewers.
Hardly, Myth2 went into depth on a number of characters, primarily the fallen lords and worked into brilliant introductions of the units throughout the game. When i build a program and have people review it i take down everything they say because the more imput i get the broader range of ideas i can come up with based on what users say. Bungie, being a company of many talents and brains, does the exact same. Of course they are going to listen to the "reviewers" they arent stupid.
: All I'm saying is that the relationship and mystery
: behind the Fallen Lords, Alric , the Head and in
: particular the Watcher and the Deceiver is what made
: playing through Myth fun. There is absolutely nothing
: like the Head in Myth 2, nothing to start a Myth 2
: Story page about. They would not be giving anything
: away if they were to add some more background and
: mystery to the story in this sequel, I was just
: expecting a little more on the past. Are we never to
: know what happened 1000 years ago with Connacht and
: why the Watcher is so pissed off at the Deceiver? Myth
: 2 played not like a sequel but like a Warcraft
: story...dry and unimaginative.
And going after Mydred wasnt fun? Taking on the Warlocks and having friends like these were adventures just as good and fun as in the original myth. Because the storyline is not closed there is a very good chance future titles could come of the myth universe in which more questions will be answered. Just because you didnt find what you were looking for the first time dont immedietly assume you will never find it. Thats arrogant and takes the fun out of the game.
Arc
ps. And Warcraft 2 is arguably the best game in existance. It is a little two sided but at least as good as the myth universe so dont even go there.
