A criticism of Space Marine and game criticism

There is usually a pretty big difference....

Right, and how do any of those differences have any impact on the point I made in my actual post?

Well, all the differences mean that third person shooters are not the same as first person shooters so I would say all of them.

[Heliocentric]

When I choose a game to play a game I don't make a distinction between first and third person, so I get what they mean

Or put another way: find me one guy that is annoyed Syndicate is being re-made as an FPS but would be fine with it being made in to a TPS.

But your presumption there is that those who are annoyed about Syndicate being relaunched as an FPS are reasonable people.

It's wildly arrogant of you to presume that they aren't.

Oh come on, that's a rather wide brush you're painting with there.

It's totally understandable that someone who holds a game in high regard would be slightly peeved to find that a sequel is being made but in a totally different genre, especially when we're talking about Syndicate, which even after all this time is fairly unique.

It's a counterpoint to Deans dismissal of the differential of the 3PS/TPS Vs the FPS. They all share similarities, but generally the experiences are notably distinct. I'd actually say that DX:HR does a great job of marrying both aspects given that by on large it retains the immersive qualities of the FP view, whilst allowing you as the player to slip into 3rd person view, when it comes to particular activities (I'd like to see more developers consider that approach tbh). However going 'the guys raging against Syndicate wouldn't care', therefore there is no differential is a weak sauce argument. The people raging against the new syndicate are locked into FUD, any change is to be abhorred.

I wish I knew the things that everyone thinks.

I'm sensing a pattern, here. An opinion he differs with is spam, and if lots of people disagree with him, they're just afraid.

I, for one, am actually afraid.

I've explained the what and why behind my post (with points) so quit with the OT trolling. If you want to disagree, disagree on point.

Are you saying I am not a reasonable man, Kad?

Behave, gentlemen.
