@(Unverified) I also thought Bionic Commando was pretty great. It was downright infuriating in terms of checkpoint placement and its downright hostile attitude towards achievement hunters (really, I can't go back to a section to pick up a collectable?). Also the design for the main character was bad.

Aside from that stuff and what you mentioned, great game!

@The Aquacharger They also made Bionic Commando 2009.

@TheShaper The Pure update made the game a bit more playable in terms of combat and platforming, but it dumbed down the sections in which you have to pull out your decryption device to the point where you don't even have to think, you just point it at wherever the way-point is, making the game seem a lot shorter than I think they intended. The game is a pretty bland third-person shooter/platformer, and the environmental destruction aspect didn't add much. The game has the single-most abrupt ending I've ever seen in a video game, much less any other medium other than The Sopranos. There's a challenge room, which adds a sort of Force power that only works on water (which is less cool than it sounds) which seems more like a preview of the sequel. The premise of the story is somewhat interesting, but there's no pay-off to make it seem worthwhile. The voice acting is awful and the writing doesn't help. I spent 400 MS points on this game whenever it went on sale last winter, finished it in about a day, and immediately deleted it from my hard-drive afterward. I regret spending any money and time on this game. I really, really wanted to like this game, and I do think there's a cool concept or two they can flesh out a little more to make more interesting, it just didn't work for me.

@ThePenIsMightier Ooh someone's being a complete butthole on the internet. It must have taken sooooo much effort to do all of that. Your family must be proud!

@Shinta Did you buy all of it? Doesn't the After Years have a crap load of DLC? I never jumped on it for that reason.

Oh man, I was all ready to get DA2 day one, now I'm thinking of just waiting for the ultimate edition. Dammit!

@Uracat Honestly, all of your complaints about Enslaved I could have said about Uncharted 1 & 2.

@Spookimitsu If the game's too short, play it on Hard. The game is instantly a few hours longer.

@Cranky Penguin Perhaps these are the sorts of people who: A) don't sell their games anyway so it's not an issue; B) like to support developers for doing a good job by spending money in a way that further supports the developer and publisher; C) like the idea of being able to start up their favorite game in a moment's notice; D) use game sharing to allow 2-5 of their friends to play the same copy at the same time (assuming the copy allows this, I don't know for sure).
