Nintendo’s reason for not announcing stuff way ahead of time is reasonable. They want it to be a surprise, and not to have too much change between it’s announcement and release. I get what you mean though.

There’s a reason Brutal Legend didn’t work.

To be fair basically everything you just described happens TODAY. I don’t think WE live in a dystopia, there is just a lot of unfortunate stuff happening.

That’s the thing though. As far as I could tell...nothing was really dystopian. The guy who the AI says is super evil and a monster who’s this big bad Big Brother figure...turns out to be your Dad, who is just a sad unattentive man sifting through his memories, trying to see what he did wrong.

It’s a little subtle at points. Like, with the hitman lady, after she drops you off when you’ve finished fuckin’ her brain up to make her think the staff at the ultra hospital killed her husband, she says she “has unfinished business to attend to” and later on you can hear a report about how the ship, which you can…

Well no, all that stuff is the stuff you do in game. You mess with the russian hitman’s mind, and it causes her to carpet bomb the ultra hospital. You release all the prisoners in jail onto the city, who set it on fire and riot and loot. Also releasing them from jail also flooded the city. You do all of this…

Well here’s the thing. It’s not the suuuper best gameplay wise, and their actual unique memory manipulation mechanic isn’t super elaborate. But it is cool, the world building is PHENOMINAL...and the plot is written so completely straight that I honestly don’t know if the writers are deluded and think “all of this…

You also set Neo Paris, the shining beacon of the end of war, on fire. After flooding it. After causing a violent mercenary to blow up the best medical ship in the world. We’re kind of a monster.

At least we don’t become lady Hitler in this game like Remember Me?

Boo that Demon’s Souls death penalty is back, but yay broke ass magic?

I don’t see why you think so. I’ve read your arguements and I just don’t get it. If you start at world 8-4 you’d be mad the game was too difficult, and whine about how the game “didn’t stop me from doing something I wasn’t prepared yet”.

Spare is a word for it yes.

That’s what I’m talking about.

What about all the many, many reports of the instruments being really bad? Or did Rockstar really send better quality tools to reviewers?

Oh god that picture is amazing thank you. Also yeah, that’s something I hope they do do. Show Peter trying to be an actual human being again. If only he had a wife that would make it super easy to show scenes like that. Sigh.

Man this is totally a story you could neeever tell if he was MARRIED. *spits*

Cool Peter Parker is Yoshikage Kira now.

To be fair I haven’t gotten to the part where we GET foward operating bases, so sorry if I came off as rude.

Okay thank you for the actual advice, I’ll keep that in mind.

I meant actual advice. I know I can defend my stuff but I just don’t want to do this part of the game.
