I'm saddened by the responses you recieved - just wanted to say I thought it was a well thought out and reasoned critique of the game. I don't see generalizations at all, but your own reactions to the game. Not only are they valid, I'm surprised we're not talking more about they WHYS that R* did aim for so much…
