6. The Actual Game

7. Bugs -Cutscenes sometimes skip themselves
-”Jitter” (where the frames don’t display smoothly) is common during action heavy sequences
-Can skip Dialogue by walking too far from initial trigger

8. The Good -Brilliant story told well through mechanics
-Characters begin to show wear and tear as they go throughout the game
-Story moments make you feel part of the game
-Gives an illusion of choice that makes your decisions feel like they matter

9. The Bad -Cover shooting feels awkward and clunky
-Difficulty levels only increase amount of damage bullets inflict, and nothing else.
-Game can alienate those looking for just a fun, no think type of game

10. Why it is Better (As compared to Gears of War)
-The game has a mastery over dialogue to really build a realistic relationship between soldiers
-Story is fresh and new, and keeps you playing
-Makes you think about your actions

11. Why its Worse
(as compared to Gears of War) -Fighting can get repetitive
-Little to no diversity in gameplay-what you do the first ten minutes is what you do throughout
-Graphics are of lesser quality
-Multiplayer is not enjoyable

12. Possible Improvements
-Adding more diverse fighting in the game
+More environmental hazards
+More commands to give to squad members
+Adding vehicle combat
-Better graphics
-Patching up plot holes

13. Is This Game Worth Buying
-Yes (I would fill this entire slide with yes if I could) BUT ONLY IF:
+You like story driven games
+Can get past clunky and repetitive gameplay
+You are playing on a computer
