    Has anyone ever played the Condemned series? That was a good game. Beating the tar out of crackheads and roid monkeys with a metal pipe was great.

    I really enjoyed the first game, especially considering I just bought it on a random whim, so I'm definitely going to pick up the sequel soon. I already know I'm going to have a grand old time tossing things around with The Darkness.

    So basically this came down to "This is my personal preference so this is how it needs to be." Believe or not people have different tastes and that is why these different types of games are out there. If you don't like open world games that's fine but outright saying that open world games are open because they have no story is just a false statement and nothing more. If you prefer linear games they're out there, no need to demand games that tell a good story(despite your personal tastes) be linear just because you don't enjoy it when they're in an open world. Simple as that.

    I noticed it too, but didn't feel like being a twat.

    Dammit. Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

    I found it extremely difficult to take Victor seriously throughout the game, mainly because he's the same voice actor who plays Rigby from the Regular Show. Still, fun shooter for what it was worth.
