Providing option isn’t about pleasing everyone. It’s about giving everyone the means to please themselves. Taking away player options is almost never a good idea.

Don't freak out or anything, but I think you and I might be the same person.

That’s exactly what I plan to do. Giving me the choice to not play your game rather than the choice to play your game the way I want to isn't good synergy between your design strategy and your business strategy.

I’d have much rather they implemented them well than taken them out. What in-universe reason could there possibly be that your character would be incapable of using guns? Are they missing their trigger fingers? Being able to snag an enemy's gun, take out a few nearby enemies, and then drop the gun as you climb up a…

No, don't do that. That would just be salt in the wound.

This gif is begging for some unnecessary explosions.

If they would jump at that opportunity, then why have they not jumped at that opportunity? What's stopping them?

I don't see any reason to believe that.

Right....the interactivity and rapid improvement in graphical technology in recent years are completely irrelevant to the matter...

What good would that do? It's not like Ubisoft doesn't have the funding. They just don't want to allocate the resources to this project when they could be making another AC sequel.

It's almost like games and movies are entirely different experiences that are judged by different criteria.

They never stopped working on Last Guardian. This statement basically says “the guys who were working on BG&E are taking that knowledge and working on something else now.”

Maybe pull a few guys off of Assassin’s Creed: Another Superfluous Sequel to work on a follow-up to one of the most beloved games of its generation?

The problem is the Bethesda’s companion AI is so bad that they usually end up getting themselves killed in stupid and pointless ways.

That's great and all, but if you're going to do it you'd better have decent companion AI. It was far too easy for Dogmeat to get killed in stupid pointless ways in Fallout 3. I found that dog and he was dead within an hour. I reloaded a few times, but he got himself killed so often I finally just gave up and decided a…

Hahhahahaha.....man, you are like a parody of a douchy Cardinal's fan. Keep it up. Your attempts to "rise above" the shit stink your team wades in is like a drug to me.

Because Ramsey said he was going to Stannis's camp and then all his horses went missing and his tents burned down in the very next episode. This wasn't a Sherlock Holmes novel.

He burned down all their tents, stole their food, and converted all their sellswords (who stole all their horses). Who do you think was in that army that wiped out Stannis?

None of which matters to me more than my opinion on the matter. What "matters" is entirely subjective. And all that matters to me is the final price and whether it's worth the money.

So what you're saying is the show is following the books' arc pretty well, then?
