Ya... right...

Texting while driving is illegal and so is not a marketable audience. I'm not really sure how it's relevant to your point at all.

Except it does.

People don't buy phones to play games but people do have phones that CAN play games.

I get that you can bring Halo up but I don't think anyone would argue the necessity for a female protagonist in a game called Batman.

You can apply it to real life.

Doesn't look awful to me, i'll reserve further judgement till I actually see it.

You assume the brain is going slow, for your surroundings to appear to be going that slow though I think they mean for your brain to be going blisteringly fast.

It's not broken because it's fun.

This is the same expansion that was a pre-order exclusive that pretty much just comes free with every copy of the game.
Maybe there's one or two around that don't include it and cost £1 less or something but basically everyone has this DLC except only Premiums can play it at the moment. Because you can never have too…

I live in the UK so guns and rednecks are less of a problem. (probably more air rifles and "hackers" would be our problems)

I've got to say most of those things can be worked out with an apropriate design solution.

Who are these people?
They're not scraping the bottom of the barrel, they can't because you're in the way, living at the bottom of the barrel, unaware of anything going on around you.

They must've shut it down intentionally for some other reason.

Also any game with energy meters gets removed from my ipad/phone now. Balls to that nonsense. Most apps I get are so I can entertain myself, often without internet. If I can't go on a flight or a bus ride or spend my lunch hour playing a game at my leisure then I shan't play it at all.

Yesterday we went out christmas shopping. Before we left my boy was playing a game of Angry Birds Star Wars Jenga.(The death star one)

Read the clues/hints. I thought it was tricky for a minute then it becomes so much easier when you tune into the mindset.

Meh I only want a game to provide me a feel of realism. An authenticity f you will. The gameplay mechanics shouldn' be compromised for this though.

Why can't a game be awful but worth playing/trying at the same time?

What are you talking about? People will never care about techniques enough to decide one is lame or not. "People" will only care about whether they like the look of an end product or not. It's only the artists in question that are likely to make decisions about the techniques and in that case, any talented artist has…
