So I'll let them run with that here.
Oh, and yes the SP was lackluster: It was entirely too short, assets were repetitive and uninspiring - and we know they had more, even if only in prefab, which is painfully evident throughout all the levels were entire sections of the plot were obviously cut out to shorten up the game and/or make it ready for retail "on time"; and by god, if it doesn't have one of the worst, most anti-climactic endings ever, I'll eat my shirt!
That is, of course, my opinion of things, but they come from careful observation and from having played through the SP campaign god-knows-how-many-times because it was the only thing that worked "playably" (note: as in "marginally" and certainly not "perfectly") for me. And if you listen to arguments around here about what qualifies an opinion, being chiefly the amount of time spent playing; at 81 hours play time invested, 95% of it in SP, I've probably got most people beat hands down for SP campaign run throughs. Sadly, I'm not even joking when I say I know every nook and cranny.
So there it is.
And yes, before anyone asks or says, I have a problem with self-flagellation when it comes to games I pay good money for and want to play, lol. :P
), imo.
