Agreed. Clunky combat, stiff animation, the immature kind of "mature" (i.e. boobs and cluster F-bombs).

This was actually the better of the Modern Warfare sub-franchise. If you're talking single-player.

This was at a super-low discount of $3 last weekend at Amazon, but I was still hesitant. I'm all for a good cyberpunk stealther, but technical flaws can bother me easily.

These days, this kind of shoddy porting would be inexcusable, especially in light of some really stellar ports like the Tomb Raider reboot.

Same here; enjoyed the hell out of Prototype, even as my poor old 6870 struggled to render the game. Yeah narrative was your basic revenge, but oh the many, many, many ways the game let you kill people. Also, getting around was fun: No need to steal stupid cars, just parkour up a building and glide to your…

If someone bothered to give me a writeup that in-depth, I wouldn't be insulted.

L.A. Noire (specifically, the PC Port)

I have to agree with you. This and LA Noire triggered buyer's remorse within an hour of playing each game. The thought going through my head was, this is revolutionary?!

No, no, no. This movie is founded on the premise of the kind of hate-mongering that's part of PETA's spiel. The entire premise would not have happened in the real world, where genetics labs have to follow biohazard protocols, as well as regulations on taking care of lab animals. In other words, this is a film that…

I'd disagree with this, mostly because Battle Royale. I know, the author claims she never read BR. Still, point is it drew heavily from SF concepts from the past, presumably if not BR, then the same fiction that influenced BR.

Er, they could do an Andy Serkis with Ruffalo. He already kinda did that with Avengers, with their face cap tech. Why not a feature-length version with CGI Ruffalo Ruffalo-ing about an alien planet?

I like to think that he spent his most of his special effects budget trying to make Shia Lebouf relatable and charismatic. Of course, there are some things CGI just can't fix.

So he's saying that Levine is a real objectivist? Crikey.

My sister's main complaint at the time was that they could've at least matched the color grading of TDW. That, and Albino Liberace Benicio del Toro.

When I left the theater and explained to my sister that the albino Liberace was Del Toro, she was all WTF?!

CG stuff is weightless and gummy.

The only other accent she can do is Valley Girl. I hope she sticks to the Scottish.

Nah, the Xbone payola vids had to have a specific hashtag.

It's hard to reboot a franchise without shooting yourself in the foot. So many times the product feels bloated, weird, and abandons the thing that made it great to begin with. Strider, however, feels just right.

I dunno what's more cringe-worthy, the actual objects, or what passes for rigging.
