Redjake, I didn't bring it up to bash SC mindlessly. I loved the first game. I was looking forward to this one more than my next paycheck. But then they went and muffed it. A game so hyped up about realism including something so... rediculously out of context. Why would you use a phone to take a picture when you could use a miniature digital camera? Part of the reason I play games like this is to use all the cool gadgets, and a phone that my friend owns right now isn't the quasi-futuristic style I was looking forward to.
And he's not going to have the phone from the start. My money is that, when he gets it, there'll be a complete rundown of the phone's features. Whenever you go into the menu there'll be SONY right there. Blaring in the face of the gamer. I'm not too fond of Sony. There is far too much ineffective, annoying advertising on TV for me to really accept ineffective, annoying advertising in game.
