Beyond good and evil

Sequels are only made if a game is profitable enough. Quality of a game has little say in the matter, welcome to the corporate world.

You're wrong here. Good gameplay brings in buyers. Buyers make the game profitable.

Good gameplay will bring in a cult following and little more. Money from corporate backing and investors spent in advertising and hype on a title is what moves inventory to the herd of brainless sheep also known as society.
Good gameplay Example: Freelancer.
Corporate backing Example: Halo 2&3, clones of the original Halo with little innovation added.

Then again I'm sure most of us would pay double Halo 3 cost to get our hands on Freelancer 2;)

Beyond Good and Evil was a good game. Still is. But the problem is that the market has been flooded with PvP whoring titles which gradually lower ones IQ to that of a melon. Story and content have pretty much taken back seat in the last few years. Remember the adventure game? All but died out since people cant seem to stomach using their minds. The reason Beyond Good and Evil didnt take off as hard as others is because people are basically dimwits.....imo.

I just googled it. Looks cool, then found out why all you like it so much. Its by Ubisoft!

Ubisoft usually always makes good games.

I googled it too and my reaction was quite the contrary. Anime universe where you play as a chick who takes photgraphs of animals to uncover some kind of conspiracy. No thanks to that. That doesn't sound like a good time.

The animal photographs make the not-anime chick money so she can take photographs of the conspiracy and spread the truth about the government to all of the people. Nubcaek;)

I like the whole reveal the truth about the government thing. Also the stealth in this game is top notch.. decent AI I think..

I always say to people 'look beyond the immature looks of the first part of the game'. Those that listen to me and keep playing come to me and say ; 'Wow, ****, that was an awesome game.'

Up to you realy. Don't judge a book on it's cover, I'd say. Beyond good and evil has all those elements missing in modern games.

Yeah, I believe you might be right here. My feedback might be very common, but we'll never know :laugh: Seriously, though, I would have to have my pc fixed first. Might check it out later.
