That’s really the key, and I’m not sure that he will. He’s his own worst enemy when it comes this game and I’m not sure I’ve seen enough to give him the benefit of the doubt that his ideology on this has changed.Experience is not just experience. It is also seeing where to save time. The biggest enemy in some sense is Ocean´s perfectionism. Just look at the drama with the music. What Heckmäck that was to get the various songs only to now loose many of them again. That is not necessary, that is a side area.
If Ocean could start just focusing on art and text, this would give a serious push.
And like I said, that energy crisis that’s brewing....with how Ocean is constantly updating his hardware and pushing it more and more... I don’t think it bodes well for this game seeing completion. We might be looking at AVN equivalent of The Winds of Winter.
