I don't see what the big deal is. It's just gonna be the same.

How is a lantern and maybe a new main menu going to improve the story, scares, level design, or really anything else in it other than throwing in a few unecassry gimmicks in to make it look flashy? See, that's why I hate this mentality of full conversions = better by default, because 95% of the time the things they add don't even benefit the story as a whole and are just thrown on at the end because the creator think it'll make their story look new and interesting, IE a gimmick.

Or you could completely ignore the entire point I was making and instead of actually giving a logical counter argument to support your idea basically just going "lol ur dum" yeah that's cool too I guess

Kman has a point.
RE: Custom Story made by the whole community. - jiersk - 03-04-2013
I agree. Kman has a point.

I dunno, one could also interpreting JustAnotherPlayer's facepalming as facepalming at himself. That's where my mind went the first time I saw the post at least.

Most indubitably. I agree. Kman has a point.
