Because you are angling for a job at Ubisoft's PR team. And I'm still plenty young, auntie.[/quote]

What can I say, they've got good benefits. They'll put out the same games every few years and all I'll have to do is pretend like Far Cry hasn't been chasing the lightning in a bottle of 3 that has since dominated the design philosophy of its open world games. 

Also they'll probably take anyone at this point, they could use some good PR of late.



[quote]I suppose if it wasn't 4th game in a row glorifying the 'troubled dad' trope that seemed to dominate media of the 2010s, I'd think it was less shit...but still probably not good.[/quote]

The problem with game directors getting older and becoming dads is now gruff dad protagonists learning that it's okay to have emotions are a quick and easy way to garner points for 'Wow what a deep character!'. As an action game it doesn't hold a candle to its peers or even itself but I bought into the story enough even if Kratos is still the big lame and always will be.
