You do realize that being open world doesnt automatically make a game better right? SOmetimes having some focus and linearity is important to get the story going. Its certainly necessary for a game like TLOU which is more about human interaction than just blowing stuff up.

Yeah because nothing screams strong DRAMA then holding your hand the entire way intermixed with set events in which you have no control over..

What are you talking about? I seriously have absolutely no idea what your post is about :? The only valid conclusion that I can come up with is that you probably never played TLOU. And as for you going on about "set events" pretty much every single game with an end objective has set events. You can say skyrim is open world and non linear, but does it not have a main story? does this main story not have a finite number of possible conclusions? Therefore is it not a "set event"? Lets look at GTA, does GTA not have a main story? Does the main story not have a finite amount of possible conclusions? Therefore can we not say that it has set events? its impossible to create a game with an end objective and not have set events, well, not until you create AI that can think on its own and construct the game world in real time ever altering the game world.

As for holding your hand the entire way...once again I ask, have you played TLOU? Cause it clearly seems to me that you are talking about a different and completely unrelated game. I'm pretty sure that this game puts you in an area, throws you some enemies, tells you to go from A to B, and then its up to you how you do that. You can be violent, sneaky, a mix of both. And when things go bad, its up to you to think on your feet. So I'm not quite sure what you are talking about which once again leads me to believe you havent played the game or are an idiotic fanboy.

And as for Drama, do you not watch movies? those are completely linear events where you have absolutely no input on what occurs, yet people still find them to be highly dramatic and entertaining, so completely ignoring the fact that you seem to know absolutely nothing about TLOU, you also seem to not know what makes something dramatic. Just to make it easy for you "open world and non linear" is not synonymous with "dramatic".

Not everyone has to make an open world game. its a trade off, open world games trade off deep characters for a larger world. For linear games are able to tell the story they want you hear, and show the character exactly as they want u to see the character. Its like those books where you can select how the story progresses. They are fun and all, but every now and then, you just wanna read a really great novel that tells you an exciting story, rather than having to make it up urself.

TLDR: You, sir, know not of what you speak of.

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"] Very few games can.SecretPolice

True.

State of Decay certainly isn't one of them either.

So pretty much, the game isnt ready for launch, so instead they are gonna force it for launch by selling unfinished products that require u to download the rest of the game? Sucks for people who have internet bandwidth caps lol (like me :( ) Hope this is the exception, not the norm.

[QUOTE="Lord_Omikron666"]

They were booing because the game is only on the Xbox One. Killer Instinct is anything but a Street Fighter 4 clone, and it's a damn fun game.

XboxStache
Yep. Not to mention, EVO was packed to the walls with COWS.

lol, i love this. Whenever anything negative is said about the Xbone, its due to there being a lot of cows...because completely unbiased gamers can't have any issue with MS. When MS announced Xbone games at E3 the room was once again filled with cows right? How about at the original unveil? The navy guys who wrote to MS, they were cows too? How about the German Official? he a cow too?

Look, I think KI looks like trash, and Im not a fan of MS's previous policies regarding the XOne and the future of gaming as a whole, but this is a bit rude lol. I feel bad for double helix. :(

[QUOTE="Bane_09"]

[QUOTE="thebest31406"] Seems that way. Music of all genres has become so pop now and from what I can tell from the commercials and car radios, rap sounds very auto-tuney, with lyrics mostly having to do with money, fame and excess. I'm sure there's plenty of booty and champagne in the lyrics as well. Would you say that the majority of rap deals with violence even now?thebest31406

I dont think it deals with violence as much as it used to but it's definitely still there. It will be interesting to see how the genre evolves over the next decade or two.

Just looking at the top ten rap songs I see Rich as F*ck by Lil Wayne which has some violent lines here and there

Christ. I wish he'd climb inside a microwave or something.

The thing about Rap is that it isnt rap anymore. Its no longer about the lyrics and more about the beat, which is sad.

I enjoy threads like this where people actually talk like adults :P Im not American, so I dont really keep up to date with American politics, but I read into this and it's all rather interesting. Time to read up on the immigration reforms people mentioned in this thread. That sounds rather interesting too
