Haha good read . It's so true though... I miss the days when I played NFS3 with my brother on PC playing as cops and taking down the racers. It's also sad how they removed so many features that past games so great.

I disagree with some of their examples for padding. A lot of it is genuinely good content that adds replay value to the game, particularly Mass Effect.

I agree with most of it. For example with the padding issue. An RPG is supposed to feel like real life, I actually don't mind traveling to objectives.

The game freelancer is a space rpg with over 50 systems and 100's of base's. It would take at least an hour to go from the new york system to the edge systems but that makes it realistic.

Freelancer was great. It was sort of like the father of EVE-online. I really enjoyed that game. I'd play EVE-online now if I had the time and money.

That made me laugh so hard. So true though.
