@SebCrakpot1234 He never, never said the game was realistic, he keeps saying the game can't inflict you pain, you can't die for real, etc... He say it's authentic on the guns, locations, sounds, histories...
And quit with the whole iintimidation/attack crap, all we have here is an interviewer who didn't do his homework and got pwned for bringing the same argument over and over again.
@buccomatic @jas-x5 He clearly says that it's not realistic cause you don't feel the gun shots on your body, if you die you have retrieve the game to the store... it's realistic cause shows real guns, real histories, real places, real sound.
McShea lost the debate not because he was getting intimidated, he lost cause he was unprepared for it, talking about a game that he has never played and bringing the same regen system point the whole time.
@epaul525 "The unique aspect of storytelling in video games is that it's interactive. You can't comment on how you felt no sense of attachment or urgency at the distress of a teammate when you weren't the one reacting to that call. We should be listening to the person who was actually at the controller."
"More importantly, this argument against games being fun is utter bullshit. Just because a game is tense doesn't make it less fun. I'd argue that almost everyone who plays those games is doing so because they find them to be fun. It doesn't matter if it makes you think (tetris) makes you question (heavy rain) makes you cringe in fright (resident evil) or makes you giggle with delight (pikmin) games, by the very nature and etymology of the word, are supposed to be fun. If your game isn't fun people won't be playing it very long."
This is probably the must dumbass discussion i've heard and read about in a while. MoH is a game that targets to be realistic on aspects like sound design, graphics, weapons, etc... not on the health department for christ sake!, at the end of the day it's a video game, it's supposed to be fun. Did Tom even played the campaign for 2010 Medal Of Honor? Cause there were parts when i totally felt like if i was right there on the BF fighting a bunch of enemies with no air support, watching my partners heli being taking down or feeling how a camarade was getting shot while i couldn't do anything to help him. This is were this game goes, that's how they try to show respect for the troops.
Don't get why he keeps bringing the stupid health matter during whole interview, seriously. Instead of being butthurt cause he doesn't likes arcade shooters Tom should have taken the opportunity to answer questions that the community would really like to know about.
Oh, and writing a complete article about realism based on a competitive multiplayer match it's really really dumb. Atleast take the time to get a taste of the singleplayer campaign.
Haters gonna hate, all the MGS hardcore fans can keep getting their panties on a bunch. Despite not being a Solid game, Platinum is developing it and the game looks great. i'm buying it fer sure.
