 Posted: 07/07/03 - 09:36 Post subject: Game Experience May Change During Online Play
|

What the hell kind of a warning is this? I've been sort of subliminally noticing it for a long time, but thanks to Star Wars Galaxies moronic and pointless 3 different credit screens that have to be stared at for 5 seconds each, I've actually been conciously noticing it. "Game Experience May Change"? WTF? It better change! What kind of exprience never changes? I thought it was a little come-on/joke or something at first, like "Warning, This Game Is Not Boring Like All Those Other Games", but I think the ESRB or wtf they are is real, so that must be a real warning. Or isn't it?
Does anyone in the whole world actually read that and think "Whoa, game experience may change? I'd better think about this"? Yet someone must have been paid big bucks to come up with that warning, and companies are paying good money to print it on boxes and code it into screens. It might even be a law or something. Is the whole world insane, or just me?

"Hmm, little Bryce is 13 now - maybe we should get that game he's been wanting"
"Sure, let's do that! Errr hold up - what's this? 'Game experience may change during online play'? Haven't we always tried to protect him from experiences that change? What sort of perverted change-peddlers would put out this sick monstrocity? I think we'd better wait till he's 21"
Heh. Actually SWG doesn't really suck yet - it looks decent, it has nice music, it's immersive (unlike Shadowbane), and it's still entertaining. If it amuses me for a month or two that's all I ask.

They're just warning you that it will start to suck once the nerf bat starts swingin'.
