Mr_T, you're being a bit unreasonable.Mr_Terrific said:
Reviews aren't bias, they are opinions, based on experiences.
Just as you don't like The Walking Dead, but do like Beyond: Two Souls. There are people who happen to like The Walking Dead, but not Beyond: Two Souls.
It's not because they hate David Cage. They just didn't enjoy the game.
Some people did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_nyNvq7ESo

No one is "right".
As for me?
I haven't played either game, so I couldn't really say.
Heard good and bad things about both though.
Someone in Hollywood needs to give Cage a job writing and directing straight to video movies so he'll stop mucking up the gaming sphere.
To all game makers out there, if your game idea is 50% or more little films instead of game play, it ISN'T a game. Do everyone a favor and get the fuck out of the industry.

He's Hideo Kojima without the flashes of narrative and gameplay genius. So basically the only two things they have in common is the fact that they're both males in gaming industry.In Search of Username said:
Well yes, also that. I was comparing them because they're both kinda pervy and both seem to be unable to write dialogue that sounds anything like actual people talking to each other.Adam Jensen said:
I love Kojima though, don't get me wrong.
Wh... when did she say she wanted any of that other than the female protagonist bit?VanQ said:
I honestly didn't know she was so popular down south. I've followed her career for a while but only because I'm Canadian and loved the Canadian show Regenesis which she was on when she was younger (anyone else actually see that show? Its goddamned brilliant!). She was also on the show Trailer Park Boys (also Canadian) but I'm not a fan of that show. Also, Hard Candy is one of my favourite movies ever and I think its her best movie by far in terms of acting. I would recommend it to anyone.erttheking said:
Knowing that Yathzee has a long established hate-boner for pretty much every game and genre that doesn't fit his Grand Unified Theory of "optimal" story/gameplay ratio, I would take it with a grain of salt whether the story is actually bad, or just doesn't fit certain expectations about precisely what extent of gameplay is the only one able to maximize fun.
So the game is as bland as porridge, it has naked people in It and still sucks. I'll just stick with Saints Row 4 then.
I see nothing wrong with a game doing all the things Yahtzee is criticising here. What worries me about B:TS is the marketing campaign, not only how it has omitted details about what the game really is like, but, more importantly, because it is yet another case of game publishers trying to push this idea that games should aspire to be like movies.
I like Ellen Page, and as such, I'll watch her movies, thank you very much.
Again, it's OK that movie-ish games exist. But enough with trying to sell them as the future of gaming.

Someone sounds bitter,Vale said:
Also yes, he would, because the decisions in that game are dotted around the story that have a lot of impact (and are also timed), so they are more involving and deep(especially the more morally nebulous ones).
