Re: lamancy in the games
Lame? I don't think so.
Last year when I first saw the game, I'll admit my first reaction was "that's it?" I mean, sure it was easy to understand from the audience POV, but.. it can't be hard or anything. As build season wore on, I was proven wrong- there were so many ways of going about this project! Then during competitions, I found myself holding my breath so many times, hoping that my team wouldn't fall over as it tried to cap, and it always seemed like forever when I was waiting for the score to come up.
This year, at kickoff my first thought was that the game would fail to please. While I guess that's true for some.. This year has been so exciting for me! You can never really tell which way the matches will go- even with robots that seemed to have identical capabilities, I can never tell what will happen.
As of now, I'm very fond of this year's game. It's easy for the audience to understand, there's options in what you can do, and it's a challenge for veterans and rookies equally. Teams can choose to specialize, or try get everything done. In my book, this game is marked as a success for the GDC.
