I think you're hearing such a vocal outcry from people of their disappointment with the game because of how massively marketed the game was about being so revolutionary. Not only that, but how it was marketed as a game design that it wasn't quite at - meaning that the hacking aspects of the game were the primary focus…

Because the depth of the hacking could have been so much more without all that much more work to the game. I know development is a lot of work, but the form of hacking they've implemented is barely more than super hero powers you see in other games and could have been better developed to bring a more rich experience.

Why shouldn't it take marketing into account when that marketing makes suggestions as to how the game plays that aren't appropriate when you can pre-order the game.

"I very much got the impression is getting review is knocking the game for what it could of been rather then what it is"

This is Glenn Beck we're talking about. Sense is never a part of the conversation.

The problem is movies and television do the exact same thing, and are typically much more influential, yet he chooses to use video games as the scape goat here. Note that the coroner he mentions has no evidence what-so-ever to prove anything he's trying to hypothesize yet it's so easily accepted as truth to these…

Again though, you're assuming that glitches are always easier than anything else in the game, when that's often not the case. Youtubing the 3d Zelda glitches alone will provide you with dozens of tricks that are without question harder than anything presented to you in the game in it's intended form.

You say that as though glitches are always easier than the normal play mechanics, when that isn't always the case. There are countless glitches in games that are easily harder than anything presented in the original game. For example the Zelda series, which has glitches in every 3D version of the series that are…

Your marathon analogy doesn't apply because a marathon has accepted rules that aren't capable of being broken for legitimacy while video game speed runs have separate rules for each type of speed run. It's more like saying the person you mention in the marathon is the fastest at taking a route not generally accepted…

It'll definitely be intrusive the first week or so when you're getting through the story and wanting to do side missions/achievements. However, I'd also so it's much more fun than a Dark Souls invasion, especially since there are several options of invasions (car chases, hacking, and a few others). So even when your…

I get that, but people who haven't been following the game won't and therein lies the problem. They're advertising this game as more of a GTA 5 with hacking neglecting most of the stealthy components that anyone who follows the game knows is there. This is extremely misleading in my opinion, and bad for the game…

From what I've seen, most people who are critical of the game are critical because it's advertised as this big hacking/puzzle/interactive game world when most of what they've shown just makes it look like the main components of GTA 5 are what you'll be doing in the game (driving cars and shooting) instead of showing…

I'm not sure why you think the hype is unfair. It's been marketed to death as much as most triple-A games, if not more. Any expectations people have of the game are purely due to how they've presented demos and marketed it. They built up the hype themselves.

No offense, but I don't even know what to say to that. If you honestly don't think arresting drug dealers gets law enforcement anywhere on drug control I don't know what to tell you. It's not useless, just not perfectly effective in completely negating drugs being distributed. That doesn't mean it's useless.

No, by my reasoning it effects other criminals and criminal behavior. I never said it would remove it completely, just that it effects it. And it does.

You say that as though this is taking time away from them fixing software that's been hacked. It's not like the developers are doing the paperwork for the lawsuit.

So are you actually saying that arresting the drug dealer is useless?

It's not being done so much to stop cheating, it's being done to stop the selling of software that allows people to cheat.

It's not so much about hacking the game, but making money by selling software to hack the game. They would need Blizzards permission to legally do so.

That's exactly right. They're suing for the same reasons that they'd sue someone for say charging for an addon for WoW, because they're making money off of Blizzard's product without their permission. Whether this mod/hack is legal is irrelevant.
