" Read back in his -- fun. -- Yeah my Christmas present here and -- to and blue -- I don't like -- tonight's melding of being completely different times and get some screen shots and I think even video doesn't seeking justice I think they sacrifice a little bit of visual fidelity investors game play and it had to. Right seeking to make what a big game when you walked up feeling after building apart sledgehammer -- cool thing about -- you've hit something into the right place. There and five minute flight dribbles -- thing clearly open and it's not always immediately."

I think today -- of his life. I -- in the -- you are there out there. And that's only going to do -- this -- it many times well I had to get out of the and then ramming into everything style the revenues each of them. And you can't find suspended from the political. You're back at that that's happening to these people made their buildings like they made their cars. You never know Iran if it was -- veterans like my very moving your cargoes through everything. Yeah members scratch their benefit I think I didn't. -- the story was bit flimsy mount it let me hold because it seems to revel in it. It's video games so much just like it's well. It's not saying this is like Hamas I don't playing games. Narratives that it is a video game itself on enough right yes that pretty much says that -- from the start and then does and then it's like okay without find it. Yeah."

" The story isn't bad because everything that you're doing throughout the course of the game plays into what your point is like every damn every bit of damage you every building you -- like. That's another -- (%expletive) -- in the -- of the India flight bringing them down which is one of the things that. Household help pull me through the game is that in a lot of other open world games you're driving when anyway me it's. There's a lot of times management objectives where's this you have an objective normally you can stop. Welcome couple gas tankers right or whatever world like that. Bring down regardless and that is contributing to your goals for about."

" Most open world game that I play when I'm driving to and from those missions. I'm not only is it like he says there's no blood feud between their bed. There's only a few mission types are few missions in the game where they're truly memorable to me and in this game like. I'm gonna compete is by nature it comes to games but this game that was enjoy. Because I felt like every single mission type today there was there. I wanted to do that and want to make favorites Roy is the there are almost puzzle like the demolition test all this stuff in the barrels and on the building -- and another -- and -- really feel that they really feel like they've they've put those in the game. To show you that you can be as creative as -- wanted to be with whatever the tools that you had at your disposal of the time where it's so is -- was what were you. Where you putting your remote bombs on barrels and in his throwing barrels down these long through. You can go to the bottom of buildings like sliding down and let you stacking up barrels the bottom of the feeling in the heat of its football and life. Until I got there I didn't even think really about putting my -- and I am remote detonator."

" Bombs on an object that I didn't throw in the he's got object of the weapons bigger bombs made bigger ball daggers and become better and we'll white. They don't -- on like him that vehicle. Driving past the left -- Put it on a vehicle that -- them. On the table getting -- and jump out then -- I mean like he's not getting -- previously. Good there's anything gratuitous as far as games. This game everything is there for the purpose -- It's possibly. Visit the -- that went into it weapons -- feeds into that as well let me and I the only weapon that -- I think that that things like the rocket launch. Yeah they're very satisfying. Slowed a little old school rocket launchers you know you -- kind of lining up right behind him whether it was. It's. Stand far back there's a building any historic fire one Rocketboom how to build. Like the manner. Panetta right -- It was a lot of fun thing."

" Send people -- medical situation where you're rewarded for. But with the fires taking the -- often and going -- and tumbling -- hurt. There's no way that the economy works in the game was actually. One of the more clever aspects of the game home. That you destroy things which give you pieces of those. And stuff yeah as opposed to you find money in the -- from this building right so little touches like that helped establish the reality of the game style."

" They made along -- game one but the sounds almost like days. Didn't really know what they what they bill but they seriously out of the -- fight game victory here. And and there wrecking crew just surpassed that controller around multi plant -- And and multi planet it was a -- golf. Hundreds of mode -- the weapons that -- and play them on in single plant. Back back there -- Texas earlier in the right through buildings and like you know it's there's."

" There's a -- they're literally creates an earthquake around you and there's -- called -- toward your point is to either defend or destroyed the other team. And so when people have guns and rebuild things. Like the reverse ghostbusters right we'll let me any other team has these backpacks where you will run on average and -- it literally shake it apart."

" That's lost his multiplayer modes that feel like try slice because this as the rocket. It brings it sort of political element and left a little listen chasing each other but we needed -- town. And suddenly everyone just like lift up into the ending of -- a public building her -- which someone takes out from underneath the better than getting great moment.

What we did it went toward an officer of waste destruction yeah they've been there ever days when as a means they would put that in -- benefit of the it seemed like the safe houses for."

" Very few very perfectly reasonably fit into the lower whether an -- from street. Kind actually the one technician type today. Was it while it was still fun was definitely my least favorite. We're winning -- Car that the transmitter and transported drivers act to transfer him just yet again driving back the -- But sometimes they would inexplicably happy drive all the way across the --"

" Sledgehammers. Next to the gravity and my new favorite weapon."

" The company sold the big and then clearly got the development. In the it also might have a little bits in effect as they became on casual theme of the steamrolled through everything was. Much worse. And all of that is sort of encourages that as well then it's like if you noticed you're dying -- just -- at the -- It is no idea -- avoids that -- casual about it defenders -- and I and I haven't found the wrong kind of red flag -- it seems again he seems -- warmly bloody days yet how much the team seemed very comfortable with what -- him. And some stuff on blow stuff up here."

" This is the kind of game I win this -- came around and we're talking about emergent game play experiences and everything they've learned from. The last generation this is again and again I feel like have been waiting for almost its entire console generation. We've seen lots of pretty looking games they're -- games where collision and I like debris that doesn't move in and all this -- red red faction feels like this is a world that. In the -- is weird it's followers into those things happen the way that you expect him to."

" And even if they don't happen the way you expect to ensure that we that you intended still (%expletive) awesome. Yeah it's hard to argue that this puzzle put that on the box forcing us to their development. That's been there."
