Shadows of the Damned is a good example of what EA can do: Shadows of the Damned took 3 years to make and the game design had gone through significant changes (five design drafts in total). Originally, Garcia was going to start out shirtless and without a gun. From there, he would gradually acquire weapons along the way and purchase clothes at stores within the game. However, Grasshopper was pressured by EA to have Garcia start with a gun because, "westerners are about guns." In addition, Paula was originally designed as a little girl living in Garcia's gun and would hop around like a rabbit or flutter like a butterfly when her ability is needed; and this would lead to a prominent love story. Again, EA had these features removed because they did not understand the concept. EA informed Grasshopper that, "there's this thing called an elevator pitch in America, and if you can't tell your story in the length of an elevator ride, Hollywood won't use it." This forced Suda to completely scrap all of his initial ideas and had Johnson the talking Skull replaced Paula, and make the game a fairy tale like Lupin III's The Castle of Cagliostro or Princess Peach and Mario. In July 17, 2012, Mikami expressed his dissatisfaction with the game stating that both he and Suda were disappointed with the end product. "[shadows of The Damned] became a completely different game. That was a bit disappointing. I think Suda was unable to create the scenario he'd originally had in his head, and he rewrote the scenario several times. I think his heart was broken. He's such a unique creator, so it seems to me that he was not quite comfortable with making this game." — Shinji Mikami

Bought for the Xbox during the black friday digital sales for 5 bucks. Might as well download it today and give it a whirl while I still have internet.

Same here, played the demo but never played the full game. Yesterday, while playing Fallout 4, I came across this deathclaw which I was ready to shoot but then I noticed that she had already detected me and was't attacking. Indeed she had no intent on harming me unlike other deathclaws, then I realized... That was a pretty awesome moment in Fallout 4 right there.

^ Is Xenoblade Chronicles 2 too ambitious for Switch's mobile mode? (Eurogamer.net) Oh well, one more reason for me to delay a Nintendo Switch purchase.

Yeah, it's hands down head and shoulders above any of the Fable games. More freedom in pretty much everything. Every Fable game I have played looks very promising at first but grows stale rather quickly. I was surprised that Fable 2 was no exception. At first I was so excited with all the pretty scenery but after a few hours I realized how linear the game can be at times. There is definitely some fun to be had there but not much freedom. The choices are rather...*uhum*...Black & White.

kingdom of amular was fun, had good wow mmo combat. the first lord of shadow is pretty good, havent tried the second one. ive heard good things about dragon's dogma Kingdoms of Amalur was good fun but it's another one of those games where I wish it had co-op.

But hey, not all hope is lost:

From what I gather, they must be unappealing to you. I for one don't understand what you mean by 'Link's design'. He doesn't look better or worse than any other Zelda game where a mature Link is portrayed. Also, wasn't Link always supposed to be some sort of avatar that connects the player to the game world? Never expected him to have a specific personality.

Skyward Sword I've spent 23 hours playing the game and currently I'm... Absolutely loving this game. Next to Majora's Mask, it might very well be one of the best Zelda games I've ever played. Everything is just put together so well, the gameplay, the exploration, the story and how it expands the lore in the Zelda universe... A must play for every Zelda fan. It might be a little hard to get your hands on it though since it's only available on the Wii and the Wii U.

It's from the same team that made Life is Strange, eh?! It looks very promising.

Try Dragon Quest Builders. Every PS4/PS3/PSVita owner should try that game.

Good thing about my new 'game' is that it offers near unlimited storage capacity(a very nice cellar that I would have immediately turned into a game room if it had heating/cooling system). On other news: I am back to playing Skyward Sword. After 20 hours it is still a very entertaining and refreshing game and boy, is this game long! I think I have some 15-20 hours until I reach the games finale. Planning on finishing The Minish Cap after that and hopefully by that time I'll have enough money to buy a Nintendo Switch + Breath of the Wild.

What I disliked about ME3 were the side-quests. You're just passing by and minding your own business and suddenly some character spouts out a few lines and a new side-quest is automatically added to your journal. Sometimes I didn't even get to see who gave me the side-quest, leaving me scratching my head and looking all over the galaxy for the dude/gal who gave me the quest. What I liked about it was their co-operation with DICE in order to get better sounds for the weapons, something I wish Rockstar would do, because there ain't a single GTA game out there where the guns don't sound like a water pistol. The Saints Row series on the other hand always got this right, the guns simply sound bad ass, especially in Saints Row 2.

Playing the 'Moving My Stuff To A New House' game. The matchmaking was awful but I finally got to find a game.

Why do I keep reading 'Steam or gag!!!'?

I like building settlements, too. I am building a bar in Sanctuary Hills right now and once I have plated the game, I'll look for a mod that lets me kill Mamma Murphy...

If you go in for the story and characters, you'll be disappointed. Everything else is pretty neat though. Like many people, I initially hated the game, but then I realized how fun and challenging the gameplay can be at times.
