Beyond Good and Evil

[Great Rumbler]

You're annoying GR, OB1's gone yet you still have to act like him... we've been over this so many times before. It is, amazingly, actually possible to get impressions on how a game plays without beating it! Amazing! This stupid excuse has been so overused by you and OB1, and so obviously a dodge used when you can't think of anything that actually contradicts the actual points, that it's gotten real old...

I touched on that part because that was by far the weakest point in your post. Believe me, your notion that the story has "flaws" is based on a partial viewing of the game story and not the game story as whole. If you beat Beyond Good & Evil it will make a great deal of sense of the things you consider to be implausible. The last two hours mean EVERYTHING to the story.

Beating the game would only tell me the rest of the story. It wouldn't change how the world is presented, it wouldn't change the general game tone and presentation, it wouldn't change the combat model and puzzles, it wouldn't make me actually care much about the characters or suddenly make me say "wow that story isn't completely obvious and utterly predictable and bland after all!" because that wouldn't be true, it wouldn't change the complete lack of any reason to worry about being killed, it wouldn't change anything important I referenced in the main critique... why can't you just accept that not everyone thinks this game is as amazing as you do? My relatively mediocre opinions of the game were not built up over time -- right from the start, I knew that it wasn't anywhere near as good as I was hoping it would be... and that opinion didn't change.

Why can't you accept that the story means a lot more to the game than you give it credit for?

And if you don't care about the characters, will there's not much I can do about that and there's probably no point in finishing the game because it likely won't mean much to you anyway. Just don't try to argue with me about the whole story in the game.

By the way, the stealth aspect of the game was much more fun the second time through when I wasn't trying to rush everything.

But ABF is talking about the gameplay right now, and apparently the PC controls are unbearable.

Okay, so it's a sloppy port. That's got very little to do with the game in general.
