QUOTE (kzt @ Mar 2 2013, 04:48 AM)  Here's mine: Computer rules will again be an unusable mess based on the traditional combination of TRON worship and Gibson worship, combined with people who really have no idea how computer work trying to make them "more realistic". The rules as written will have at least two huge gaping holes in the mechanics that would have been obviously found with semi-competent playtesting. For example, the SR4 1st edition unlimited remote services. The rules will again encourage everyone to be magically active, but the designers will pretend that being a mage is not the obvious thing for all players to choose. And if you do become a mage you'll rapidly blow by everyone who chooses another path. Combat rules will again be written by someone who has pretty obviously never fired a gun or seriously trained in any sort of combat skill of any kind, having learned everything they know from comics and bad movies. It will take at least two years for them to release the errata and corrections to the rules needed to make the game playable. I wanted to say you are far too pessimistic -- until reading your last prediction, which is so unbelievably optimistic that it makes up for all the other doom and gloom prophecies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
