@acidoverride23: yeah, sucker punch, definitely never heard of them. i agree with you though, the reviewer gave it a 7, but it definitely sounds more like a 7,1. i can hardly contain myself considering this outrage!

@balkonski: the travesty... the sheer audacity... the reviewer must hang for this!

@xantufrog: exactly! it comes with a price though. you never know if you trigger a quest that you don't want to trigger yet ;) but i'm ok with that. if it's a good game i'm likely to play it a second time anyway.

@mrbojangles25: i'm hoping with you.

@Blackened_Halo: the reviewer didn't criticize there not being a map. i think he welcomed it too.

@basketballfan: still need to check that out. there was a dlc as well, right?

@death_burnout: agreed. in general the whole HUD should be customizable in more games. also stuff like pick-up logs, that are totally unnecessary if you pay attention to what you pick up. dishonored is great in that regard as it lets you select what parts of the HUD you want and which you don't.

@Blackened_Halo: i think these were all factors that lessened the immersion for the reviewer. i get that. being able to lose yourself is not that easy for everyone. one of my favourite game series of all time still thinks it's ok to release games where the npcs don't move their mouts while speaking. it has great combat, but that is just lazy developing and bad.

@alinawaz: Right, because playing a game rated 7/10 is beneath you?
