@Crows90 Absolutely false. Reviewers are providing their review of a game, and that review will *always* be subjective. Opinions cannot be objective.
The only time a review can be "objective" is with actual metrics, like discussing the game engine, and the tech driving it. A game reviewer saying that the game has "realistic animation" is not an objective statement.
Honestly, I don't know how old you are, but this is what worries ...
I adore their version of Prey, and I think calling it that was a huge disservice to the game. Too much baggage around that title. Prey 2's bounty hunter-style thing made a bit more sense, but neither game seemed to have any real ties to the x360 original.
Watch Dogs did not start this trend.
Just Cause 2 was one of the first games I remember where the maps themselves included a legend, and EGM and Game Informer had a tearaway map that could be folded and used like a normal map.
It was a huge part of their marketing campaign.
From there, the obligatory comparisons between Arkham City and Arkham Knight, and obviously Bethesda loved to talk about how big Skyrim was to Morrowind, but it really wasn't a c...
I remember when the size and scope of a game were like a super big thing. I don't know if I just got old, or the marketing speak just kind of wore out its welcome, but scale means absolutely nothing to me anymore. It's great that they are aiming for grandiosity, but man do I miss smaller, tighter experiences that have been polished to perfection.
I'd honestly be more impressed and excited if a developer said, "our game takes place on Alcatraz, and we'v...
What a breath of fresh air. Love what I'm seeing thus far.

I know, right? Ever since Kim left him, he hasn't been the same.
"Lately" is probably a 10-12 year break.
I was a gamer, and gamed alot. Haven't lately, and got GamePass about 6 months ago, and I friggin love it. Love seeing some smaller indie games that I can play comfortably without worrying about sinking hundreds of hours into like I did when I was younger.
So yes, "non-gamers" will see incredible appeal in gamepass. So far, GamePass reminds me a bit of the good ol' Xbox Live Arcade days, and that's never a bad thing.
So well said.
If Vin Diesel has taught me anything, it's that it's all about family. I'd like to think EA is just trying to embed that wisdom into their properties.

*GASP*
How DARE they!
That's like going into a casino, grabbing a cocktail, and watching people play the slots thinking to yourself, "see, I'm doing just fine, without putting any money into it".
What seems lost on so many people is the idea of a *precedent*.
Expect fewer shorter, single-player titles without a monetization scheme attached.
Expect more companies to invest heavily in this space, knowing full well that the backlash will do nothing to deter wha...
"To sour you against violent games while playing one."
...That has almost nothing to do with "being woke".
I literally thought at least half of your comment was being sarcastic.
Ninja Gaiden on the SNES had such amazing music, and the gameplay was absolutely brutal but perfect. I also remember all the hype surrounding Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox, and that became one of my biggest reasons for buying one. Ninja Gaiden was the demon/dark souls game that I and so many others grew up playing, and just like those games, there were no excuses for dying because the core mechanics were rock solid.
that shot at the way bottom of the city street looks absolutely incredible.
@Lore
Name me one quality, enthralling and lengthy game and I'll name you a dozen 5-8 hour games that were padded out to 40.
very cool!
