Oh Bugthesda. It is like clockwork. ;-)

@Phazevariance: The wonderful thing about opinions.

@jayz0ned: It really isn't. Too much Batmobile, weak Title villain and just no real focus. Totally the worse of the four modern Batman games in a lot of people's opinion.

I get what he is saying. Very basically, he is all about player-driven experiences. Stories that make themselves out of random situations. Games like Fallout and Skyrim. Yeah. Okay. I don't know if I call those high expression games. Then I see story as most important. Just differently than Spector. He just believes because video games are interactive, that all games should allow for more player-driven story than scripted. Yeah, but I am not sure if that is what people exclusively want.

I think the best stories are ones that are written so well that you can immerse yourself in. There is a reason that the Uncharted Series is thought to be one of the best out there. Yeah, you don't have any player choice as the story shuffles you to spot after spot but the story is SUPER Engaging. Sometimes that is hard to accomplish with player controlled story. Hell, sometimes players are simple and the only story that emerges is a bunch of goofing off.

That may be fun for the player but adds nothing to the story.

I get his point but I think he has too much faith in player agency. There has ALWAYS been an illusion of choice.

@The_Mystery_Box: The list is too long mate. I could sit here and totally lay it out for you though.

Pillars of Eternity (So Obsidian is some small dev now? Lmao!!), Hearts of Iron 4, Galactic Civilizations III, Anno 2250, Rocket League (Okay, it is on PS4 too but a PC game first), Cities: Skylines, ARK: Survival Evolved, Elite: Dangerous, etc, etc....

I really could go on.

@The_Mystery_Box: You don't know much at all about PC gaming if you honestly believe that.

@The_Mystery_Box: No. It indicates the stupidity of your comment. It is too stupid to give you the time of day.

@Dragon_Nexus: Exactly. Origins is still broken for some people. Didn't the same company that did Origins also port Arkham Knight?

Anyway, ironically that Origins is, in my opinion, a better game.

@stride21: And you have plenty of people saying Halo 5 has a crappy Campaign. Halo players are a but different than CoD players. Halo players expect a good STORY as well and I hear on all fronts that it is lacking.

Can't live on multiplayer alone.... Even CoD is learning that now.

@Thanatos2k: Nintendo is not in direct competition with Sony or MS and have not been since the Wii. So really can't count them. Nintendo has a core crowd and a business model that has nothing to do with MS or Sony.
