Re: Talking Point: Did Sony PlayStation's Paris Games Week 2017 Press Conference Deliver?

I'd rate it somewhere between "meh" and "good" personally.

Very short conference. Lots of repeated content from E3 (which was already a disappointing show in itself), but there was a lot of merit to be found in the new announcements like Ghost of Sashimi, Concrete Genie and various stuff from the pre-show, while Spider-Man, Detroit and TLoU 2 got some truly excellent trailers. So it was worth watching all in all, but I can't help feeling that Sony are still holding back.

I'm with you Cory. Getting sick of all these open-world games that tout "freedom" and the "ability to go anywhere you want" as the pinnacle of game design. It isn't, and it's actually gotten quite old hat by this stage. There are many titles this gen that had no business being open-world and suffered for it. FFXV, MGSV and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst come to mind.

I fell down the stairs once, and I can't believe that this game has the nerve to make light of such a dreadful and traumatising part of my life. No buy.

Seriously though, in a 100 years time all politically incorrect comedy will be completely eradicated. At least I won't be around by then.

Re: Review: Virginia (PS4)

Acquiescence

For a game that's a murder mystery, I find it really off-putting that there is no dialogue and very little interactivity. As Graham said, if the game can't deliver a more coherent and effective narrative then I don't really see why I should bother with it.
