I have been inventing a game for a long time and have thought a lot about how best to express my "vision" as you correctly called it, to those who would create it. I had similar ideas as you but your thoughts have really given me valuable information. Thx again. Brandon. Hey Thx a lot for the information.

Really explains everything that should be in a design document. I already got a sample design doc by Chris Taylor but this post gave me even more confidence. Awesome post.

Screw censorship, screw restrictions, because that just causes curiosity among those restricted. Why can't parents do their job of explaining what's right and what's wrong instead of simply saying, "oh, sorry, there are visible breasts in this game, you can't play this." When I have kids of my own, they'll be able to play whatever they want. I'll do my job of explanation of what's right and wrong, and why things are bad. And they won't go into airports murdering people with an AK47 when they grow up, which is the opposite of what the media thinks of kids who play shooting games. @Nancy

I've been playing FIFA 10 a lot and it's great but there are a few really basic coding flaws, such as the HUD isn't updated from game to game until something happens to cause it to refresh. People complain about Wii shovelware but there's just as much for XB360 and PS3, ours is just shinier. I must have played about 30 generic shooters that were all boring, were poorly coded and had terrible voice acting and storylines - but look at the shiny shiny oooooh. Assassins' Creed would be a great game if they ditched the crap actors and pointless cut scenes and stupid present day storyline, you're making a GAME not a soap opera! And get your grammar right while you're at it - Assassin's implies there's only one assassin. And why the crapstick is british comedian/film-maker Danny Wallace in the game??? The game industry has really lost its way. Have they forgotten the games they played as kids? I hope it will mean the end of sloppy programming and pretentious big-budget games.
