uuuhhhh....Like Halo, Cod, Uncharted, TLOU...yup really suffering guys...

Nah, don't apologize, nothing egregious has been done :)  I personally don't see a great deal of entertainment to be had just watching other people play games...but, there are some people who do.  No idea why, but it's not my entertainment, so it's really of no concern to me.

So who published Call of Juarez again?

Saying sorry doesn't cost me a penny. ;)

I think it's bad for the sole reason that you're left out of the experience. Not simply being a spectator is what's good about interactive media in the first place. Let's plays eliminate that.

I think it's very difficult for folks who don't see the value in it, to try and explain it.  For me, it's clearly an alien concept...but the ridiculous surge in youtube/twitch popularity tells me there's many people who like it.  I just don't understand the why.  So, it's probably easier to let someone who actually truly enjoys it, explain it.  I could theorize all day, and probably never come close to an answer hehe.

Well this is the guy who makes Far Cry 4 and he worked on FC3 as well... so I would say this is the best Ubi has to offer!

Now, will one type of game make the other type suffer?

I think we will have to see how bloodborne or Uncharted 4, maybe even the Order, Thomb Raider XB1 and Quantum Break do next year... I think the "linear" games are doing pretty well these days!

As good as Watch_Dogs? no... but Destiny is not open world and it did better...

So what to make of this? ... well this is another Ubi talking head that speak non sense.

if anything the marketplace seems to be screaming "more linear"

Destiny isn't open world?

Seems legit.

That depresses me: more games are becoming vehicles for telling a story as opposed to delivering gameplay.
