It could have been great had it been more western. Fast travel. Figuring out that the lore of a game like is is what makes it interesting. So unlike JRPGs which are individual stories and new worlds each time, we love Skyrim, Dragon Age, the Witcher because the worlds those games take place in feel like they really do have their own history with books and tales and treasure and ruins and people talking about the history to fill the game up that you go on quests that have to do with solving mysteries decades or centuries old. It is what Lucas was trying to do with Star Wars, make you feel like people had actually lived there for a really long time. JRPGs don't do that and just present you a new world without fleshing out the history. And for those games that is actually ok since you are focused on that single story in the game and exploration is not a big part of it.
@SimplyTron: I'm gonna hold my stance that you're ether joking and super unfunny/awful, or you're by some tragedy being serious right now and just a complete wanker. I really want to believe that it couldn't possibly be the later, but there's a lot of ignorance like this on the internet that has persuaded me otherwise.
I don't see how any of what I said, or what anyone else has said shows that I am ignorant. Opinionated? Mean? A Jerk? Maybe. But not ignorant. Please use words correctly.
CBS, please go grab Rich. GB needs a decent east coast correspondent. Most of the GB community already loves the guy, he would be a great fit.
Real classy, mate. Way to be a dick...
Sorry but he is right. I mean, this whole story just reeks of someone just reading game forums and other sites to write their own article. Check out patricks journalistic work and interviews to see how its done.
Alex reports news, and this is news. Some people (like me) don't go to other game sites, they rely on GB for everything related to video games. Where is Patricks coverage of this? Oh right, there is none so fuck off.
Whatevers man. You been brainwashed. Imagine the possibilities if Rich actually wrote this stuff and how united the community would be. No more fighting. No more suffering. No more eyes rolling when something unfunny is said or written. We would have peace.
All I meant by "decent" is well-liked. Rich seems to be liked by the majority of the community. While I personally have no problem with Alex's writing/reporting, it's no secret that the community is divided on him. That fucking panel.... but I digress.
Anyway, I meant no disrespect to Alex. It's just that Rich has a lot of people pulling for him in the GB community and it would be great to see him here.
I do, cuz I had no actual problem until I saw how he responded to peoples complaints, which are by all accounts a matter of opinion. How he talks, acts on that panel as we saw or just writes. But telling the community no one at Giant Bomb gave a shit what we thought, that was over the line and I think clearly not how the other guys respond to the community. We all saw that with Ryan and his apology. Manned up to say he was wrong and didn't tell anyone he was better than them. All he had to do was leave the comments section alone but instead he showed his true colors. And that panel...

My first time, Jeff and Ryan gave me some wine coolers and they had their way with me. I couldn't say no. They told me I smelled like strawberries. And I woke up with a hangover. My anus was sore and I felt a little ashamed, but also was kinda happy they chose me. :)
