Not really, it was just to get across specific big gaps.
I replay this game every year to remind myself what "fun" is

I play it sometimes to remind myself of a time when EA and gaming as a whole weren't both completely awful, then I get sad, very very sad...

>i haven't played catalyst, and it doesn't seem like that bad of a game, but from what i remember reading about it and seeing it's hardly even in the same vein as the original city. i don't know what it is, but it just doesn't really seem all that intriguing.
the setting shifts from plausible very-near future to a post-apocalyptic one that's far more overtly dystopian. I like them both for their own reasons, but my issue with Catalyst's worldbuilding is that they drop so many interesting tidbits in the lore snippets and yet they never really expand on them and we never really go outside of the limited scope of a subsection of Glass. I'm not asking them to spill the beans on everything as leaving shit to the imagination is good, but there's a difference between that and just blueballing everyone.
it's like they tried to run through a checklist of things that all the other contemporary open-world games had and shoehorned them in.
no. It's a potentially interesting concept that's used to disguise loading zones between different sections of the city (you cannot run between different areas, you have to use the grapple), to act as a key for areas that are blocked by sheet metal, and to allow the devs to cop out of making interesting/complex ways of scaling vertical surfaces.

Dead Space and Mirror's Edge 1 got everyone's hopes up.

The most infuriating thing about videogames now is the mindset that if you're not immediately good at something that means it's bad.
I've come to learn that 'tight controls' is just game journalist for 'I should never have to learn anything'

The combat wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place. It was EA that insisted they add it.

Recently replayed this on my ancient 360. As beautiful and fun as it is, the dlc is fucking incredible. I remember people not liking it back in the day but honestly it was one of my favourite parts of the game

The time attack dlc right?
>tfw you can't get it on PC anymore

I have a feeling some games from the past gen got undeserved criticism and low scores because game journalists didn't give them a fair chance.
