Re: CoD might have been a poor example.

In Response To: Re: CoD might have been a poor example. (Beckx) : I took the original author's use of "stunning" to mean : "technically impressive." "Technically impressive" is probably one of the last things I would say in regard to scripted moments, since that's what they are. As an experience though, its all well and good to mock, but just as they leave you feeling un-engaged, many are well and truly sucked into them. I've found MW and MW2 to be two of the most immersive first person games I've ever played. Its a bit unfair to take them to the extremes of saying something like "look but don't touch", as if there is only one possible way to progress through them. That's really rather unfair. Some ways are certainly better and easier than others, and the nature of the games on the hardest settings will essentially shepherd people in that direction as they die again and again and again. Abandoning CoD though, personally I would say that Star Wars: Republic Commando gave us a rather fine example of a gritty 'realistic' military experience with all the perks of being in the SW sci-fi universe. In a way SW:RC is, perhaps, the game that Reach set out to be.
