I’d say gusty is reinventing a franchise to ride on the coat tails of another company’s success, screaming promises of usurping their reign of supremacy all along the way.

I’ll agree with you Shawn. It asked me far too many times if I wanted to play the mission, and even during it, I could choose to pause it and skip….

But then where the heck would the story go? (not that it was even worth following anyway…but still…)

This is EA-speak for “We wish we did it first”

I thought the scene was a very important pat of the overall game experience. If anything I wuld say it wasn’t “gutsy” enough. The whole opting out option was such a pussy maneuver.

These are the kind of pushes developers need to start making to help break the status quo of video game plots

Compared to what I do on average in Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row, Modern Warfare was nothing. Seriously how can we get in a tiff here when in the various other games I’ve relentlessly killed innocent people.

I’ll agree that the whole thing didn’t really seem to be all that bad–and I spent the whole time firing like an asshole. Maybe it was partially a matter of people talking it to death before release, and perhaps because I found the rest of the story to be sort of silly.

Hell, there were plenty of moments in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories that were way more understated than this yet far more disturbing.

I found most of MW2 to be clichéd nonsense to be honest.

It’s more Rambo than Schindler’s List. Yet some seem to take it far more seriously than that.
