I do hope they don't dull down the dark themes in Starbound too much. They already made a gigantic walking pile of feces, the game kind of needs some darker overtones in order to balance it out a bit. Much like cooking, making a meal too sweet can be just as bad as making it too bitter. A balance is needed in all things.
It's astonishing that in so many sentences you couldn't muster a single cohesive thought. You literally said nothing of value here. I think just out of coincidence, we should have seen a logical progression of ideas develop that would lead to a thesis or argument for something... But, no... Just mindless ranting.
You say I'm 'lick devs asses,' but I'm not. I'm doing what you said, and expressing my opinion. 'tell what you think about it.' That's exactly what I did, and you're criticizing me for it. And honestly, attacking the decisions the devs make isn't going to get you any bonuses either, man. Having a conflicting opinion is fine and all, but insulting someone for not being angry that the people making a game decided to change something isn't fair. And who said they cut content? They never said "Oh yeah, so we had a whole entire gore dungeon for some reason, and then we decided to cut it because it was too mature." They set the standard for how mature their game is, man! And I even said in a later post, myself, that "I'd probably like to mod in a gorier death animation." The fact is man, they can change what they want, when they want to. Getting flippant about it isn't going to change anything. The way I see it, take changes positively, because it means they're still working on the game. The day they stop changing things is the day Starbound is said and done with. And that's a bummer, bro.
Have you ever met a seven year old? Terraria update was cool. Will help stave off the withdrawal pangs from a game I haven't played yet. How DO you get withdrawal pangs from something you've not yet had?!
If people think something is being censored for the purpose of pandering to younger audiences, there WILL be rage, and rightfully so.
certainly can't blame them for that with the abuse they get Won't be bothering with your mods then... Seriously? Stuff is being taken out and put in all the time. You're saying because they're not pandering to your specific tastes they are "less community friendly"? If it is just blood effects and maybe the odd 'in' joke that's a bit too adult then what have we really lost from the game? Oh drat. I just lost the game... Don't you just hate metagames some times?
Atmosphere. Artistic integrity. Without knowing what it was referring to - or for that matter, if it was just a joke - we don't know. In any case, the problem isn't so much any one thing being removed. The problem is if some sort of policy is (or has been) introduced, restricting the artists on what they are allowed to put in the game. Basically, selling their artistic integrity, and the game's soul and atmosphere for the sake of pandering to kids. I don't want that to happen.
Age-friendly? I played Diablo 1 when i was 7... lol, but then, I never thought Im normal. I don't mind Age-friendly dungeons, although I will miss the spookyness they could have :/
OOOOOoooooo! NPC trading. Looking forward to features like that. Yeah same here. I usually check just in case, there's been several times when it was up before I went to bed. It's always nice when it does.
I dunno. You see the thing is that people think boundaries are always a bad thing but I've seen stand up comedians on their 'not for telly' DVDs and often they were better on television. Less true nowadays as television has less censorship but the point I'm making is that sometimes boundaries can make people more inventive and creative not less so. I'm not saying that's definitely the case. I'm just saying it could go either way. I reckon that the changes will actually be quite minimal as I'm guessing it was reasonably child-friendly in the first place.
^^ this, definitely this. i want to hit those critters and see huge explosions of bones and gore... why?, well why not.
It could've been a bunch of pulsating, boil-like plants that dripped a strange yellow-y substance, with the partially consumed skeletons of other races laying around, some of whom are clearly alive and in considerable pain, eventually being pulled into the plants where you get a nice view of how a digestive tract works. i.e. We have no idea what, how, or even where they changed it other than first Floran dungeon.
