that IGN review says that there ARE in fact twists and enough to keep the story interesting. so i don't know why ABF is quoting it to defend his argument as it shoots it right in the head.
i think what blew me away was the WAY in which the story is told. the integration of cinematics into the gameplay. the amazing voice acting and music. it's onr\e of the best fusions of story and gameplay i've ever seen. i loved hearing radio broadcasts and newsreels slowly become audible as i approached and fade away as i walked away from the speaker. i liked to be able to sit at the radio and listen to what was happening in the world and that those things would change as i progressed in the game.
i also never viewed the "stealth" segments of the game as being "stealth segments" the sneaking was always a puzzle. i thought the game played a lot like the original oddworld (which i loved) but was also tons better in a lot of ways. mainly in terms of storytelling.
also. i never had a shortage of money so i have no idea what you're talking about there ABF.
essentially, everything GR has said about this game so far is 100% correct and anything anyone else has said is a complete lie.
