Why do you have to be so rude? Rude.

You deserve it.

You mentioned in the previous QA that they should get rid of Dishonored's morality system. so what do you think about "Deathloop" offering 0 consequences to your assassinations?

I've not played Deathloop yet, though I'm really looking forward to it as I loved Prey. On paper though, I'm glad to hear there's no consequences for the assassination's, because attaching an end to takedowns is just silly.

I think if games really want to have "consequences" for players actions, it needs to be more sophisticated than a meter that hits a certain threshold after X amount of kills.

Do you think video game live action adaptations are getting any better? Recently, Monster Hunter, Sonic, Mortal Kombat etc. And do you think Resident Evil and Uncharted are gonna actually be good?

It seems like they are. Max Payne was everyone's reference point a couple years ago. I haven't seen Warcraft or Mortal Combat, but they sound like films with at least some good elements in them beyond Cinematography. Even a good friend of mine who is more of a filmmaker than I'll ever be really enjoyed Mortal Combat for the cheese fest it was.

What's always gotten to me about video game adaptations is how often they're picking the wrong games to adapt to films. Things that are already so heavily based off of cinema, reinterpreting them as a film again just seems pointless.

Just give me a TV show that' Saints Row 2. I wanna see some Cockney actor realize the bosses psychotic behavior.
