Yeah, rope arrow points are extremely troublesome to me because it largely means the world isn't "open" in the sense that the original two were. There was that illusion in Dishonored and I didn't notice the restrictions as much because there were a lot of extremely fun and diverse paths and options to play with - I never felt constrained. But I expect more from a Thief game where I should be able to manipulate the environment in a way no one else has yet by box stacking, etc. If I can't make my own way, but am instead led down (an illusion of) several paths that converge no matter my approach, that's going to suck.
I said waaaaay back when T4 was announced that the most important thing was freedom to explore the world, even if that meant breaking it. But no AAA game is going to go to the shelf that unpolished - especially purposefully.

Tell us more about the games you think are average.
Being below average means I quit playing after 5-30 minutes due to certain factors which immediately kill the immersion (laughably straightforward bugs, console ports, above-shoulder 3rd person, invisible walls, constant hints, no diverging paths, overflowing USA/hollywoodisms, beautiful vibrant graphics that leave no room for the brain to fill, interactive/shooter movies). For example see the ones I listed, plus Witcher 2, Mass Effect 2-3, Dragon Age 2.
An average game is one that I can play through once with some enjoyment before deleting it.
I recognize a good game when I can't bring myself to uninstall it after the playthrough, likely even replaying it a few times (Penumbra, Amnesia, Witcher 1, Slender, Hide, Dishonored).

You just made me think of Bioshock Infinite.

A fitting example. That one I didn't even bother to download.

I think that was sarcasm, subj.
Don't think it was, blad. Sadly.

Riiiiight.
We got a live one here!
Sounds like you start playing a game and then if it doesn't meet your requirements you label it below average and quit. It would probably be a good idea to find out if its 3rd person, a console port or a shooter before you buy it. You can likely glean the other things from reviews. I suppose the upside of you wasting you time finding these things out by playing is that you have less time for your demonstrable weaknesses of the mind to manifest themselves in such a pollutant manner elsewhere on the world wide web.
I especially like the "beautiful vibrant graphics that leave no room for the brain to fill". This is brilliant. Go read a book. You need it.

If that's how it sounds to you, good luck with your incoming hearing aid.

Implying I pay before playing through.

"Likely." Like, from this one? (

It's not a waste of time. I laugh uncontrollably!

Just do a search on my nickname before barking these clueless little bogus sentences of yours.

Everybody needs that. Next time don't forget to make a point! o/

I've searched your username and all I can glean is a disappointing like of Dishonored. Disappointing because liking Dishonored suggests good taste and sense; yet in this thread you have demonstrated otherwise.

Gabucino, that implication is not something that we condone or consider an acceptable topic for discussion so, please, no more on the subject.

I already have a girl in my life, so I'm not trying to impress anyone here with lies.
