David Jaffe speaks my mind

David Jaffe, designer for games like Twisted Metal, God of War and Calling All Cars, one of the designers I respect the most out there has his blog on davidjaffe.biz (which leads to http://criminalcrackdown.blogspot.com/, 16/1/2010) and a few days ago he posted a video (he does a lot of video-blogging) about stats, leveling up and achievements in online-games and it really felt like he spoke my mind!

I completely agree with the man about how it's weird that the "meta game" of the stats seems to be more important than the core game or core gameplay. For me, that's just fudged up.

Anyway, since I agree with him I thought I'd embed the video here as well.
