Where's Les Enfants Terribles when you need it?
I think that example breaks down because TLOU wasn't an open world game where exploration was not only encouraged, but required to advance the progression of your infrastructure.
I agree that it's still a bit of a dick move, but I guess I'll reserve judgement until I see how numerous/out of the way the cassettes are.
Do not read. Awful.
(FTFY)
Apparently one person would hold out for that last dollar. SMH
I prefer Red Dead Redemption as well, but that doesn't mean I also don't love Mass Effect. I also prefer a million dollars to $999,999 dollars. I wouldn't turn down either.
Obviously you haven't played the game or you wouldn't think that.
Out of 34 current reviews in order of scoring, Polygon's is 32 of 34.
On the Last of Us with 98 reviews, Polygon was 97 of 98.
Draw your own conclusion.
Yes, it had flaws. But it also had brilliance. There were so many ways that your conversations could affect the flow of the gameplay in missions, plot, resources available, and so many different possible endings.
All it really needed was a sequel so that they could refine the model, and it would have been a blockbuster.
"needless and tedious exposition."
I could not disagree with you more, sir. Considering all of the separate and disparate plot lines that all culminated in that game, Hideo Kojima could not have provided a more fitting, emotional, or satisfying ending to an epic series than Metal Gear Solid 4. It tied everything up in a complete package, and was the send off that Solid Snake deserved after fighting for so long in a war that began before he was even born.

Don't put too much stock in it. The Toluna survey involved only 1000 people, and judging from the responses, they were only asking "gamers" in North America and they had specific choices on the survey with anything else not specified lumped into "Other".
San Andreas got 119 votes, for a little over 11%.
Hardly representative of the "Gaming Public".
EDIT: For those who are interested in the results of this su...
Frigging epic. And that has to be one of the most entertaining gun fights I've ever seen.
That 180p difference represents a 144% increase in the number of pixels. Assuming you're running 900p natively, and not some reduced horizontal resolution.
None of this has anything to do with DirectX 12 however, which will result in an improvement regardless of what anyone says.
As long as they don't farm it out like they did with Aliens: Colonial Marines.
The word you're looking for is "Recycled".
Seriously? No love for Handsome Jack?!
What games do I play of Konami's? Metal Gear games.
How do I want to play them? With Hideo Kojima directing them.
Just the good ones. ;)
Which frankly I thought was a much better game. And before anyone jumps on the Dead Island hate train, I have a platinum in both games so I'm a fan of the series.
I just don't see Dead Island 2 being a real competitor when compared to the studio that created the series and it's newer, better project.
@deadpoolio316: You've got the order of events backwards. Yager Productions filed for bankruptcy *because* they were fired by Deep Silver. Yager Productions was only a sub-division of Yager Development which was established solely for the express purpose of making Dead Island 2.
Goddamn, I cannot wait!
