BioShock Infinite came out when I was about halfway through, and I never went back
Damn shame. The narrative and character development of Infinite wishes it were as good as MGS3. And I like Infinite's character development. (Of Booker and Elizabeth anyway.)
BioShock Infinite came out when I was about halfway through, and I never went back
MGS3 is the best one by far
You should finish it sometime
The controls are sooooo bad
Also, "press X to ogle dem titties" is super gross
it is super gross
however
there's a bit there that's...interesting. as the game goes on, eventually Snake looks at Eva's face when you press x, instead of her chest. It shows that he finally respects her instead of just considering her a sex object. It's the character being a gross perv, and he matures by the end.
Skyrim is an incredible game (and better than CoD4 as a game for sure), but in the greater scheme of things CoD4 was hugely important to this generation as basically every other FPS after it was taking themes from it.

yeah but that's like saying michael bay is the most important director of the last two decades because he's irrevocably changed what action movies look and sound like

I absolutely love Sleeping Dogs way more the GTAV but I feel that vote more than any other got colored by the fact it's the Giant Bomb community with Vinny Quick Looks.

Yeah I wouldn't call that a positive thing.
Well
You'd be wrong
Its unfortunate things have been stagnant for a while but a sense of progression and something TANGIBLE from doing well in matches was absolutely necessary for the shooter genre to hold peoples attention

Well, neither would I. I don't play CoD (or military style FPS's at all really), but when you look back at this generation and are deciding important games that shaped it, CoD4 is absolutely something that will place highly regardless of personal taste.

that is a completely false analogy, and is also not even true of Michael Bay movies so I'm not even sure what you are saying here.

i don't think it's an exaggeration to say that sleeping dogs is way tighter game both mechanically and technically, although GTA V is much more impressive in scope
also, sleepy dogs isn't overtly offensive to several small but vocal parts of the community

Oh, I gotcha. I never think about multiplayer in anything, so my mind was in the "strip all exploration and level design out of something and make everything a Michael Bay movie with occasional button presses" place.
I absolutely get why people like the multiplayer though. The 4 hour on-rails campaigns just put a bad taste in my mouth.

"Dude learns that ladies aren't objects" isn't the most compelling character arc I've ever come across
And there's a definite "having cake whilst also eating it" element to ogling titties and then going "it was totally wrong of us to ogle dem titties, and we are all wiser for no longer ogling"
It's not necessarily my favorite game of the generation, but team fortress 2 is probably the game that best exemplifies what games have become over the course of this generation

Sleeping Dogs had a "press a button to PIT maneuver" feature, which is on its own more fun than a single thing in GTAV

"I don't like Call of Duty"
i'm saying that recognizing a game for helping start the trend of reducing a genre to a series of number-grind while also having a core concept revolving around gross military worship isn't exactly healthy or beneficial

so, you want it to be a metal gear solid game instead of an assassin's creed game?
good news, there's an entire franchise of games almost just like that
The current round is
Dark Souls vs. BioShock
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves vs. Red Dead Redemption
Batman: Arkham Asylum vs. Dragon Age: Origins
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots vs. Portal 2
Mass Effect 2 vs. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Super Mario Galaxy vs. Fallout 3
The Walking Dead: Season 1 vs. The Last of Us
and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare vs. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
some hard as hell choices in there
skyrim versus cod 4
What a great generation we had.

Im not really behind any of those titles as a game of the generation
it is super gross
however

Grand Theft Auto V vs. Sleeping Dogs
Super Mario Galaxy vs. Rock Band
The Walking Dead: Season 1 vs. Saints Row the Third
A part of me knows
Just knows
That that is the incorrect choice
But I can't help it

Well he would be wrong then.
