The Ghost in the Machine: An Essay on Spectre and the Burden of Legacy
When Sam Mendes delivered Skyfall in 2012, it was hailed as a psychological deconstruction of James Bond—a somber meditation on aging and relevance. Following such a masterpiece was always going to be a herculean task. With Spectre (2015), Mendes shifts the gaze from the agent’s mortality to his origin. The film is not merely another entry in the franchise; it is a baroque, grandiose attempt to reconcile the gritty realism of the Daniel Craig era with the camp mythology of the classic Bond oeuvre. Spectre is a film obsessed with the past, exploring the idea that one cannot move forward without confronting the ghosts that haunt the machinery of one’s life.
He follows a cryptic message left by the late Judi Dench’s M, leading him to a secret organization that has been pulling the strings of global terrorism for decades: SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion). Its leader is a man named Franz Oberhauser (Christoph Waltz), a figure with a deeply personal grudge against Bond—a connection to Bond’s own orphaned past. Nonton Spectre James Bond

“The problem is that the game’s designers have made promises on which the AI programmers cannot deliver; the former have envisioned game systems that are simply beyond the capabilities of modern game AI.”
This is all about Civ 5 and its naval combat AI, right? I think they just didn’t assign enough programmers to the AI, not that this was a necessary consequence of any design choice. I mean, Civ 4 was more complicated and yet had more challenging AI.
Where does the quote from Tom Chick end and your writing begin? I can’t tell in my browser.
I heard so many people warn me about this parabola in Civ 5 that I actually never made it over the parabola myself. I had amazing amounts of fun every game, losing, struggling, etc, and then I read the forums and just stopped playing right then. I didn’t decide that I wasn’t going to like or play the game any more, but I just wasn’t excited any more. Even though every game I played was super fun.
“At first I don’t like it, so I’m at the bottom of the curve.”
For me it doesn’t look like a parabola. More like a period. At first I don’t like it, so I don’t waste my time on it and go and play something else. Period. =)
The AI can’t use nukes? NOW you tell me!
The example of land units temporarily morphing into naval units to save the hassle of building transports is undoubtedly a great ideas; however, there’s still plenty of room for problems. A great example would be Civ5. In the newest installment, once you research the correct technology, you can move land units into water tiles and viola! You got a land unit in a boat. Where they really messed up though was their feature of only allowing one unit per tile and the mechanic of a land unit losing all movement for the rest of its turn once it goes aquatic. So, imagine you are planning a large, amphibious invasion consisting of ten units (in Civ5, that’s a very large force). The logistics of such a large force work in two extreme ways (with shades of gray). You can place all ten units on a very large coast line, and all can enter ten different ocean tiles on the same turn — basically moving the line of land units into a line of naval units. Or, you can enter a single unit onto a single ocean tile for ten turns. Doing all ten at once makes your land units extremely vulnerable to enemy naval units. Doing them one at a time creates a self-imposed choke point.
Most players would probably do something like move three units at a time, but this is besides the point. My point is that Civ5 implemented a mechanic for the sake of convenience but a different mechanic made it almost as non-fun as building a fleet of transports.
