    Man the world at war game play just brought back waves of nostalgia. Getting the ray gun on the first map was something else. I was adiment that you could get the ray gun on every level. I mean why have an Easter egg at the start to get the ray gun and not allow you to find one in every level. To get them end credits after beating the game on veteran(and if you haven't well has to be hands down the hardest cod to do veteran, the grenade icons are hell)and feeling amazing to only get "that" cut scene of the zombies was hair raising.

    As I understand it, "Fear over quality" was Bethesda's given reason for why they cancelled Prey 2, but the actual reason was that they wanted to purchase the developer, and the developer didn't want to be purchased. So, they more or less cancelled the game out of spite. No idea if that's accurate or not, but worth looking into.

      The problem with L.A. Noire is that it was deceptively marketed. That may have been good for it’s initial sales but in the long term I think it hurt it critically and perhaps commercially as well. Most people though they were getting a Rockstar GTA style game set in that time period.

I thought L.A. Noire was something different from anything I ever played before.
