No, it isn't, it is idiotic beyond belief.dathwampeer said:
North Korea has an estimated population of around 24 million according to wikipedia, and I recall the US population passing 300 million not too long ago. Adding to that is the constant famines that have plagued North Korea since the 1990s, producing a generation of crippled NKs at least. Adding to that is the requirement to garrison South Korea (which enjoys a 2:1 numerical superiority to the North in manpower), Japan and "Many countries in East Asia" (China, with a population of 1,5 billion, and presumably South-East asia with a population of 0,6 million, and also taking into account the Japanese population of about 127 million, that means that North Korea is outnumbered 112 to 1.
In comparison Afghanistan has a total population of 28 million and its insurgency has managed to hold its ground for almost a decade against the US occupation and collaboration government.
In addition, Korean re-unification isn't sure to happend over two decades even if the North reforms into a democratic state with a market economy, let alone over 2 years with communism still present.
Furthermore, the instability plotline in the US is quite absurd, as the union has endured much worse crisis in the past (Such as the Great Depression and the civil war), and despite harsh rhethoric in American politics I don't see the disintegration happending within 30 years.
If this story was set in an alternate universe or centuries in the future, fair enough, things would have changed - but the plotline listed there is the developers insulting the intelligence of anyone with a basic grasp of world affairs.
Mind you I'm only covering a small portion of why the plotline is idiotic but this is what draws the most ire, and before you go off labelling me as an American conservative, I'd like to draw attention to the fact that I am a Danish socialist.
Hell yeah. That was some bullshit right there. The Armory of General Knoxx was awesome tho. ;Pgmaverick019 said:
OT: Fucking Dead Rising 2. That shit was so badly acted and written I swear it gave me internal hemorrhaging.
Don't even get me started on Resident Evil 5. Tho it was bad in a hilarious way.
Bayonetta, H.A.W.X 2, and the Left 4 Dead series.
Bayonetta got so absurd and unlinked in its story that I lost interest. I'm suddenly fighting in space, with no real reason why? Okay...
H.A.W.X 2 was simply bad. Both of those games I never finished beating, which for me is a big deal.
Left 4 Dead was a let down, seeing as how well Valve can tell stories in its other franchises. They fixed it a little in L4D2, but it's still missing something that makes me actually care.

Oh that's right, i remember now, the game ended for me when the credits started rollinggmaverick019 said:
. Tannis was just epilogue and yeah, not very rewarding for epilogue but like i said, i shot the big thing in the face till it died, saw that Hyperion was behind the blue girl thing transmissions in some way and the game was over. I'm still not sure if she works for Hyperion or was just using their equipment or what. But i felt like i had been a part of something REALLY big, bigger than i could have imagined. The game ended there for me and i stopped caring about a story that they obviously weren't going to continue. But i wish they had.
Regardless of Jong-un's actions the scenario is absolutely ridiculous. Any progress with Korean unification would take decades, and I can guarantee you that the South wouldn't elect a Heavenly Great Father, Briliant Comrade and Dear Great Leader, much less try to invade China, Japan, South-east Asia and America because he tells them to.dathwampeer said:
If this was set as a guerilla war in South Korea under Northern Occupation after the US had pulled out of the place following the financial crisis, it would be taking big liberties with how the world works, but it would be excusable. As it stands it's as likely a story as Rhode Island, with it's 1 million citizens, breaking off the US and managing to invade and annex Britain and France (roughly same ratio)
As for the financial plot point, financial crisis has been done before, and much worse, without disintegration happening. Disease has also occurred without countries falling apart (Remember the Spanish Flu)
I'll give you that Japan's military isn't impressive at the moment, but neither was the military of Afghanistan, and the US is not having a good time there.
Many of the mario games lack storytelling but for me Black Ops has to take this prize.
Sure it was interesting at first but by the end I somewhat wanted to cry because it dramatically shifts tones, style and anything I could have thought of for absolute grime

Final Fantasy 13
I'm one of a few that love the gameplay and battle system, but the story just drains....
No game should require you to have an encyclopedia or journal of notes to remember what the hell is happening and what all the imaginary places/things/maguffins are called...
p.s. FF13 is a brilliant game in my view, as long as its not compared to ANY other FF game.

Mercenaries 2 certainly is up there...
I personally hated the plot of the 2008 Prince of Persia game. While at first it just seemed mediocre, the ending was such an earth-shattering kick to the nuts that you honestly wanted to reach into the game and beat The Prince so bad that Nolan North would feel it.
Anyone who has played that Prince of Persia game knows what I'm talking about. Just... wow.

Jesus Christ, whats with you guys and bashing the Borderlands ending? Oh boo-hoo, you didn't get OP guns when you killed the final boss. What did you expect? At the beginning they even said clearly that the Vault was just a legend.
F.E.A.R. 2 was probably written by a bunch of perverted idiots who were trying to squeeze in as much full frontal nudity as possible in a series that had absolutely no need for it.
Also, Metroid: Other M was horrific.
