Well in my humble opinion, your "extremely smart math theorist" of a teacher has done some serious damage to your perception of not just math but science in general. As a someone practicing medicine, I can tell you "prove" things all the time. It's just not the simple black and white answers people outside of the field with very little knowledge find interesting.
Please do tell me about this experience you describe so vaguely that no physicist can explain using math. It's not a form of math "we" don't understand. It's a form of math "you" don't understand. Math can be proven by countless studies and real world examples from varies feilds which correlate it's absolute and definitive existence. Your ignorance does not mean something as clearly true as math can't be proven.
Set aside your expectations and listen a bit closer. His criticisms for this game go much deeper than poor A.I and cursing. Let's start with the most disappointing.
1) At several climaxes, the game opts out of the tried and true open world Hitman mechanics for linear, scripted sequences. As a guy who purchased the original Hitman on PC day 1, I can't express how disappointing this is from design stand point.
2)The shooting feels uninvolved. The very simple "point shooting" borrowed directly from Splinter Cell: Conviction makes the action look great but has no substance or challenge to it.
3)The villians are unrealistically and almost cartoonishly evil. The never ending list of reasons to abhor them breaks immersion and leads to a less satisfying experience.
7.5-8.0. Seems about right for a beautiful game that missed the mark on some key points.

Really Eddie? The haunted hayride you went on with a dozen people was "terrifying" ? Not only does that make you sound like a child, but it's a completely illogical argument. If the ride scared you when you were surrounded by 12 people, would it not have been a more "terrifying" experience if you were isolated with none of your friends? Sure it wouldn't have been as much "fun" but it would have been a more horrific experience. Visceral games is cashing in on the Dead Space name by turning a once horror based experience into an action game. This is blatant public damage control after the poorly reviewed Resident Evil 5. Sadly RE5 sold well for Capcom so maybe EAs title will be ok, but as for consumers, we'll be getting a milked franchise.
" Who ever brought up racial tolerance?" The article and the Guild Wars team did stating, and I'll quote directly, " it felt obligated to explain its account suspension policy to those players who found themselves banned from the game, reiterating that racist names, hate speech, and other unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated."
Fascism is a nationalistic political agenda that has very VERY little to do with freedom of speech and everything to do with social darwinism and ethnocentrism. But clearly, you have a very elementary knowledge of the political system and absolutely no desire to learn so I'll spare you the lesson.
Don't purchase the game, but I think many of us see your responses contradict each other such as stating the game is a "shitty city of heroes" and a paragraph later trying to say you were a potential customer who is not purchasing the game based on your "fascist" perception of Area.net...Not a solid base for your argument if you ask me.
@electronicoffee Considering you're so eager to use profanity and clearly emotionally volatile, I'm guessing you're probably within the puberty demographic. I doubt you were going to purchase the game anyways if you consider it a "shitty city of heroes." Soooo really it's not their loss.
And racial tolerance does not equal fascism...in the same way racial intolerance does not equate to capitalism and/or democracy.
