bigger and more was the wrong way to go with this sequel. the first game was one-of-a-kind fantastic action game with a stunning world and a mind-blowing story. what it lacked was any kind of response to player decision by the world, its factions or individuals. it reduced everything to be a lifeless film set background. disapointing that this was not taken into consideration for the prequel, instead cluttering what was perfect already. are we not all tired of more razzledazzle instead of going into real depth and ingeniuity of world response? more console process power does not provide that. it needs great developer minds. but this seems to be the thing with all the AAA games, not much soul in there.
Whatever! George R. R. Martin will never finish A Song of Ice and Fire (Book Title of the GoT Series). He was babbling things all the while, promising all kind of finishings very soon, and it got clear for anyone who would follow his promises, that he would never deliver. To come up and claim that he wanted it differently in the aftermath is suiting to character. While I have the biggest respect to this author for creating a world and book series that nobody else had in such a (radical) way, it also saddened me to see he would not be able to bring all the strands together. However it was always in the nature of the (RANDOMNESS) in which the story archs closed or not closed and main chracters died or not died, that the story would kind of be unsolved. Let me hear your thoughts on the matter if you followed the world evolvement more closely such as i did. It's quite interesting.
Very much not my thing. With a linear plot-line and 12 hours this is more or less an interactive movie (series) and not really a game. Anything more than 10 or 15 Dollars is just not justified for something like that.
I was always impressed by the roles she played and her performance as an actress. But now she lost it. Well she already lost playing Black Widow. Why go there when you are such an established artist? Money. More money. And that brings us to.. she lost it.
@mrbojangles25: more power, but not more quality. more quantity, more of the same, but not more passion about what they do. I agree. let's think back where gaming comes from though. I am with the scene since 30 years. I remember the old games, the passion, the effort in it, to make it happen. this new expansion is parallel to the trash games that are rolled out on mobile and now other platforms. no longer any gaming, just more addiction and mind numbness. I am happy however that at the same the the independant game developing scene is also thriving.
@lhughey: yes. we were thought so at school as well. Expand, expand, expand. there is no foundation to this assumption that it is necessary to survive, but it is the wide-spread believe. Netflix is so popular and successful on its own, it cannot collapse in a long while.
Why does every big enterprise think they need to expand into everything? What's the point? They don't know what they are doing, they are not the experts and tgere is so much offer out there already. Why not leave it to the Pros? (Steam) I don't get it.
There is some very serious bullshit going on here. A game that has been announced to be the next level of open-space gaming - on an incredible scale - with incredible detail - with incredible opportunities - and sooo ooon. Then for literally YEARS there is nothing but some fake updates and drawings coming out. This thing is dead. And it will never happen. With so many people working on it and so much potential progression... nothing? This wrong. I am disappointed. But then from the beginning on there was this doubt lurking in the shades: How is a project like this even possible? The answer: It is not. It implodes.
