HATE: Games that try to imply you, the player, are actually a bad person for scripted actions you have no choice over, particularly when they suggest that the 'correct' thing to do is to turn it off and stop playing. How about I save some money and don't start playing in the first place you pretentious hacks? example? Not sure how big of a deal it is since I haven't played, but Spec Ops The Line comes to mind immediately. ehh I think that game doesn't try to say that you, the player, are a bad person. I think viewing the game that way is kind of missing the point Spec Ops the Line in particular is a game that does try to make you feel like a bad person, but is not implying that you are. It's a pretty distinct difference. It manipulates your emotions in a way no other war game has really attempted to, specifically emphasizing the horror of war and the danger of blindly following orders. tldr: it's not a bad thing for a game to have an emotional impact --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:904844067] in Let's disc...
