As much as I would LOVE to have a game do it, I doubt this will have dynamic character transformation of Ellie through gameplay. At least not in a complex sense. Maybe as a Kid, neutral, and Killer slide bar.
I dont question that Naughty Dog is capable, its just that they have so much on their plate. Even if they were planning this as a central feature, it might get cut in favor of fleshing out the rest of the game.
Even though we've all heard way too much about it, The biggest villain in this price fiasco is DLC.
Nevermind having to shell out 20 bucks for an arcade game of limited content, I'm paying more for 3 Call of Duty maps than I am for the entirety of Battlefield 1943, an entire (albeit multiplayer only) game, that comes with 4 MASSIVE maps.
I used to be able to get Gears of War and Halo map packs for free. At worst I'd have to wait a couple weeks.
Well, -ACTUALLY, judging by Ellies reddish brown hair and complexion, I would say she suffers from a rare and almost unnoticable condition which causes her to look very slightly older than she actually is when in her toddler years, causing me to believe that she is 11 and a half, roughly, NOT 12, nor 14. This condition also causes her to look like Ellen Paige. It's a weird condition.
A further note: I don't understand jokes and precise measurements get me rock hard.
And something about customization sets my boner alight. I still play Vegas 2, and its mostly because of the character creator.
-Can I request bringing back short-sleeve shirt as an option again? I loved dressing my dude up as a civilian, and using just a pistol and trying to surrender. -Oh! And being able to talk to the enemy team when close.
I don't know about the original "bad fur day", but with Live and Reloaded, it took the class based gameplay, objective capture, assisted by a slew of vehicles gameplay from the Battlefield series. But with more katana wielding cyborgs and miniguns... Oh, and bears.
I am now beyond excited for this game. If it's made well enough, all of it's elements sound like the kind of game I've been waiting years for!!
plus I especially love the idea of "Social combat", where its less about beating up 20 guys at once, and more about either talking your way out, ignoring them, or if necessary, using force to make them back down, -with killing left as a last resort. It sounds SO AWESOME! I'd love to see a free roaming version of this on the same scale as a Rockstar game (I mean this mostly in the sense of the living breathing explorable world, rather than sheer size)
"In the last assassins creed, Ezio's combat was beefed up to the point that sneaking and free-running were made in-effective in comparison. How have you worked around the issue of making the player being able to steamroll through any sized group of gaurds?"
and
"Will you avoid backtracking over the previous games stories and retroactively making them cheesy and overdone?"
This has nothing to do with Skyrim. Skyrim will kick ass yes, but their going out of their way to try and trample a small company for shiztlez and giggles. Its Mojang thats the worry.
Mojang is very generous and level headed small company, headed by a very generous and level headed guy (Notch), who have done no wrong by anyone ever, yet Zenimax is riding their ass. -How good Skyrim is going to be has nothing to do with this.
I organize them based on how much I play them and the "type" of game.
All of the games that I regularly cycle between at the moment go on their own little shelf, while the two games that I play the absolute most sit right beside my game system. Currently those games are Gears 3 and Dead Island. while the first shelf consists of games like Halo Reach, EA Sports MMA, Battlefield BA2, Far Cry 2 etc.
The rest of my games library is put in order of what kind of game they are. shooters on one shelf, split between first and third person, and then another shelf for sports and adventure.
Why is EVERYONE hating on this game?!? I think its a masterpiece. a slightly buggy masterpiece, but never before have I been so engrossed in such a story-less game, not since Far Cry 2.
You really feel the sense of desperation and survival, as you pretty much make up your own game while trying to get from point A to point B in one piece. and its awesome. Yet every single headline I read about, whether the headline is about something good or bad, the article is always slanted on "This game is kinda evil and the developers are incompetent."
They dont even need a premise!
