[Question] Who ya gonna call?

My only complaint is

1.) Bill Murray's acting goes from stellar to crap in the span of one line. Many times.

2.) The second half of the game seems to fall into more "video game cliches" - level then a boss. Thats not a bad thing per se, but the earlier levels make you feel like you're in a goddamned Ghostbusters movie.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Every video game ever made is "repetitive". This complaint was started by the lowest shit-steam idiot on the internet and spread because people need to find imperfections in anything - even if it means making a totally invalid complaint.

Tell it to someone a little dumber than yourself. "Its repetitive" is an arguement made by people no one should talk to and it can never be construed as criticism. Your controller only has three directional pads and eight buttons - meaning that theres only a set number of things you can do with it. Nevermind that theres a learning curve for every game - doing something new constantly would be far too confusing for most people to keep up with.

The be-all evidence of you being an idiot Skexis is Half-Life 2: its a run-and-gun and nothing else. Anyone can pick that up, its a super-basic FPS and all you did was kill bad guys for the whole game and that was considered *innovative*.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm so happy you're proud of your nonexistant attention span.

Jesus Christ you are slow.

My obtuse example was treating you like a mental equal. I was obviously wrong in doing that. I'll break it down since you're obviously some rare kind of idiot: People complain about repetition and yet the most acclaimed and supposedly innovative game since the turn of the century (Half Life 2) is nothing BUT repetition. Thats not a criticism of the game which I think is a lot of fun - but a statement of fact. Besides, who wants a game where every other level is a tutorial?

All video games are this way and they're made this way on purpose. Whats your favorite game ever? It falls into this category. What about the most timeless games ever made? Super Mario, Tetris, DooM, Pong, Excitebike, Contra... all those games are also repetitive; they all involve jumping on goombas, dropping blocks, shooting imps, bouncing balls, jumping dirt ramps and blowing up aliens over and over and over and over.

So how about you bother to come up with your own goddamned argument instead of jizzing your fucking short-labeled ignorance through your piss-hole of an attention span and actually bother to, you know, ascertain your own thoughts instead of using other people's words as an intellectual crutch?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Give me an example where this does not apply.

Aside from that, if I can use a silly analogy to it's logical conclusion, we've just come to like the taste. Connoisseurs, if you will, of what we happen to be eating. Maybe I prefer it fried to being broiled in a white wine sauce! Who knows! But the point is you come in here with all your bluster and end up causing a 13 car pileup in the thread because you couldn't get the fuck over the fact that I used one word, even as I knew full well its implications.

You just wrote a paragraph that means absolutely nothing.

I marvel at it, truly.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
