while i am excited to hear from him...im a bit eh’d out. I was expecting some kind of ground-breaking super artsy thing.

am I the only one who felt like they were making a tribute to Half-Life 2 with that opening sequence?

It bothers me, however, how the all the main female characters look exactly the same, aside from hair/make up, and sometimes eye color. Have the designers been outside? Been in love?..

Is it just me or does it look like she was totally modeled after Emma Watson?

“let’s re-arrange some architecture, Delta.” Heh, I love all the dialogue in the game.

I just want to express that i thought the “it all blew up in their face - party confetti suddenly turned to shrapnel” line is a really nice piece of writing.

(I think others have said the other things i want to say)

AND he was fucking around with the shutter, half-opening and half-closing it

you just subtly wrecked a lot of people’s self esteems/worlds (this is kotaku, remember), with the “worry if you’re fun to be around, if you can make her laugh.” I don’t need to worry more about that.......I rate pretty low on those, actually, and not because i’m low-worth, but just because of my personality, because…

so this confirms it’s basically a remake of the old game(s?), so not far from the same game in 2015 graphics. I don’t know what I expected, but it was more.

the story is not force-fed to you, that's why you don't remember it. i'm guessing you wanted to dislike the game, too, and so you did, to feel like a super smart person who's smarter and cooler than those suckers.

Well said!

by looking at him.

lold, good one

We have similar tastes in jam.
The low zoom scopes are still next to useless at anything before a medium-farish range tho, esp since people move fast and fly around. But yeah up from medium range a low zoom good fire rate sniper is pretty brutal. I'd love one like that with perks being less flinching when shot and the…

i really hate people who really hate people for reasons that don't desere being really hated

The whole retro thing is saying, effectively, that you could make beautiful games before, and it's even easier, since you're forced to be minimal. But yes, especially translating art to the screen, as you say - we can obviously do so much more today than 10 years ago. And i am totally down w/ that.
I just wanted to say…

i want to be that guy, and remind that technological prowess =/= beauty. It's the art direction, the artists who do something beautiful with the tech, that make beauty, especially when they put more into the world than just colors and very high-res litter.

How often has a cod game been beautiful, despite the back of…

It's.
A.
One.
Headshot.
Kill.
In multiplayer.

You can say that about any sniper rifle, but you can use that one in closer ranges, as it has ironsights, and it's a primary, so you can rock a shotgun with it and wreck...
It's definitely an unusual and difficult to use weapon, and I wouldn't try to do a hard raid with it...but…

Lold!

Gotta say though always saddened me that while having companions is kinda cool, they enemies usually attack them, exclusively. Them being immortal and you just kinda watching while wailing/casting/shooting away for a while just felt so weird..
I kinda just gave up on the combat after a couple hundred hours,…

No, a lot of games look highly-detailed and nicely textured and realistic. Some games look pretty, with a beautiful moment here and there...
