You guys just don't understand. Clearly, since a very small percentage of the population can't handle simulated violence in video format, we should ban it for everyone just in case one of those people happens to play a game, and that game happens to warp their mind enough to make them shoot 20 children. Let's keep following this train of thought. Next I think we should ban milk, because a small percentage of the population is lactose intolerant, and heaven forbid one of them should get their hands on dairy....
@wexorian With each bioware installation from the last few years (ME2/3, DA 2) we have gotten increasingly simpler game play, shallower character development, boring level design, increasingly polar 'moral choices', the list goes on. Bioware is a shadow of its former self. The fact that they are now making this for next gen transforms it from a possibly redeeming title to an almost guaranteed mess of shallowness.
Everyone knows take two is one of the best video game companies around (largely in part to R*, in my opinion), but I don't like how cocky this guy comes across. Don't worry about who is or isn't going out of business, shut up and do your job.
@nurnberg So much certainty. Yes some people will be disappointed with some kickstarter games, but that happens with all releases. Overhype, misunderstood information, what have you. And so far there haven't been any reports of a project that was purely to take money with no intention of making a product. People might have tried, but projects that aren't being created by gaming legends or that don't have concept art/videos aren't going to reach their funding goal. Personally I have backed several projects. If one or more of them aren't completed and I lose my money, so be it. Such is the risk you take when investing.
@CyhortI82 50 missions of pure single player that will give you citizenship as well as some credits when you complete it so you can jump into the other part of the game. It's not really an online game, you only see other people in the universe if there is a battle instance (say some pc pirates are trying to ambush merchants on a trade lane) or if you decide you want to travel around with your friends. That's it. You won't see random people flying around or just floating in space chatting away. It's a space sim with mmo elements, not an mmo.
@Warful @FedCom Of course it's good. It could be an hour long and still be good. The point is, there really is no excuse for not having at least 15 hours of gameplay in a single player campaign. Plenty of companies give you both a decently long campaign as well as entertaining online play. Honestly, with Halo you are paying for the name and the graphics more than anything else. It might be fun, you might play multi-player for years, but as far as I am concerned the game isn't worth full price, but again that is because I play single player games and tend to stay away from multi-player.
