Oups, sorry I misread what you meant.
I hate this, to the point I won't buy a game until the story is finished. As quite often, it isn't, and potentially, very likely, they are following the Hollywood model of making shit up as they go along until people stop buying into it and then let it slide. A story-driven game (or experience) needs to have a story with a conclusion. Anything less is defective goods, quite frankly.
Yes, the bell curve looks as natural as you would expect. By all accounts, the medium review show this game to have been received as average. Using this as a base, those who like a well trodden single path game with cinematic and lots of story, think it's pretty good. Those who dislike that things these characteristic thinks it's pretty poor.
Why do you say this? Resale is $5 less, that's hardly going to sway buyers.
People like different things. I prefer a game to have a story that gets wrapped up at the end of the game. For me good examples of this are the GTA games, the Uncharted games, The Last of Us, Read Dead Redemption and Infamous games. Whereas I found Half-Life and Half-Life 2 quite annoying as lots of threads were left hanging with no explanation. No doubt there are those who like some uncertainly or mystery to the story, or those are just aren't that fussed if there's a conclusion at all. For those, the story aspect isn't an issue.
Or Roshambo.I want to see a big discussion between the guy who rated it 20 and the guy who rated it 95, preferably in a ring, with gloves
Ditto. I've not played the game but from what spoiler-free information I've read and screenshots and movies I've seen, this looks an incredibly interesting alternative history with tons of potential. I'd like a campaign length like The Last of Us with an interesting story to support it. Plus modern shooter mechanics.
Because you can sell it. Whatever you buy it for, sell it on for $5 less, good as new, no loss of Online Pass or anything. Next owner buys it for $55, plays it, sells it on for $50. The cost to play is going to be whatever the devaluation is, not the asking price. And as the price drops over time, more people can take a ganders at a budget price. Do you want to play TO? Yes? Do you want to spend $60 on it? No? There'll be second hand copies available over the weekend and many more after that with competitive pricing.
