Consoletards talking about Modern Warfare. How insightful.

Consoletards talking about Modern Gayfare. How insightful.

I really hate how they both liked Oblivion's more "natural" way of starting a game.

Yes, it's more "intense" than being told how to walk forward, but not the 100th time. That's why people upload saves just before you leave the sewers/vault.

And how hard is it to have an optional tutorial like Half-Life and Deus Ex did, both which did more to pull you into the world than "press this button to do this"?

But consoletards hardkore (btw that "hardcore" means now? People who don't play Minesweeper?) gamerz want to play NOW!!!! We must make tutorial unskippable. Completely optional tutotials belongs to System Shock 2, Thief and some other ancient games no one gives a damn about.

This is my favorite Codex smiley. It erases the guilt I normally feel for my mass murder fantasies.

Wait...if you do it once and save before leaving the sewers/vault, why would you need someone to upload a save for you?
