The poses are almost identical. I'm not saying he's right, but he isn't wrong either. Both only have "armor" on one armor and shoulder, similar hair, similar pose.

Bad art design doesn't mean outdated visuals. For example, Crash and Spyro are great examples of games with good art design, but are outdated graphically.

The story of the game falls into antiquated, clearly racist tropes in particular the "Magical Negro"/"Noble Savage" story trope, which was surprising to even see in a contemporary story.

Give it 10 years and we won't be hearing these ridiculous arguments anymore. By that time, everyone will be playing games and the blame will quickly shift to whatever the "new" scary unknown thing is.

Sony would make more money if the game was available on more platforms.

I made note of that in my original post. While that's a nice coincidence, you can't make an argument based on a coincidence.

That's exactly my point?

I think the biggest piece of evidence here is that I am unable to find any evidence of a Joakim Mogren who has contributed to any major video games. From their press release:

Here's an article the sums up most of the points I make in a much better fashion.

Well, it's sort of ridiculous to even assume we can fairly pick the best game of the decade. You have to assume bias towards a particular type of game, types of genres, etc.

Quick thoughts on Spartan Ops -

They didn't make that one. They made Nightfire and the newer ones.

Sorry, I disagree. Maybe they should have had one more ending - a middle of the road, some sort of neutral ending - but the game never punishes you for playing a certain way. It simply shows that your actions have real consequences in the game world. More rats and weepers doesn't necessarily make the game harder or…

Agreed. Right now, there isn't any challenge if you can just die and respawn any time you want. Limit the number of respawns to, say, 3...then I'll be more interested.

I think they're more so pointing out that the character's actual name is Elizabeth, unless it has changed.

Yep, video totally condones rape. That disclaimer at the end where it said, "Hey, go rape someone." Totally priceless.

I disagree. Just because her husband also cheated doesn't mean that she isn't still culpable for her actions, or that she shouldn't be judged for them.

Honestly, I like it for the exact same reasons you dislike. So, that's just like, your opinion, man.
