Man I still don't understand how this is the game we got when I go back and watch those early trailers. That game is something I would have played. I couldn't care less about Watch Dogs.
Interesting that your story for Bigby was to play him as a Boy Scout who finally turns to violence and murders the guy at the end. Might be a symptom of video-game-playing-itis that you did everything that sounded the most 'right'. I loved the way the game pushed me to have fun with the conflict within Bigby - to make him *want* to be good, but people just won't let up...and sometimes he loses control. And likes it.
That made the trial at the end substantially more interesting. The Crooked Man was right. I WAS a monster.
The ending twist was classic noir and super enjoyable. I love the idea of there being an additional, honest-to-god detective story underneath the 'normal' gameplay that you'll never catch if you're just 'playing the game right'.
The corporate-speak in the press release is super yucky. Was this intended for the investors to see? It would have been nice to see a little more TLC given to the Neversoft name.
I love how balanced this breakdown is. I still don't get how hyperbolic a lot of reactions to Kickstarter projects can be, especially when this business model (and the consequences) has been around a long time. My view is almost certainly affected from working for a professional products company.
