I like the analogy water and oil (can't remember where I got that from). Cinematic experience is one thing and gameplay experience is another. Instead of having narrative part of the gameplay, too many games have narrative excerpts in a cinematic presentation isolated between gameplay sequences that are oddly incoherent with the narrative and themes.

There's a difference between review and rating. Ratings are useless, never choose to buy or not based on ratings. Read or watch the reviews.

Interesting argument, but the problem is how you approach it. When you encounter an idea that is conflicting to your perception of reality, that's good. It's necessary. It's what helps you reconsider what you thought you knew and then change it or keep it that way. What forces you to think a certain way is social pressure. If everybody tells you that black shoes are ugly, you won't wear them and you won't even like them, unless you accept a certain stigma.
Here, Caro is the one who's victim of stigma and those who enforce on her the idea that she shouldn't voice her opinions are the ones who are telling her what to do and what to think.

Are you kidding me? Did you just erase the struggle of a whole people from Martin Luther King's quote? Please, have a little respect for black history.

This argument keeps coming up, can you please explain how gamespot is responsible for the vitriolic comments?

Oh, evil Caro, expecting respectful depictions of all genders.

So with every new iteration that has more budget and better technology, the rating should go up? Ratings should not even exist. You can't compare two ratings, it doesn't indicate anything, it's irrelevant. I don't understand how it can matter so much to anyone. I'll give broccoli an 8/10 and carrots a 6/10, what does that say about these vegetables and how they compare?

My guess is the movie's going to be horrible, but he'll get the money to work on projects he actually cares about, just like Fincher who directed Alien 3 before he made Seven and Jeunet who directed Alien 4 before he made Amélie.

Duncan Jones is a talented director, but he might have made a mistake choosing this project...
