See, my theory continues to be validated. You have absolutely nothing even remotely negative to say about 5, and yet just a couple of posts above you were slagging it off for having "killed" the "series". Saying "nothing matched the experience of playing the shanty town and evading hoards of ganados" says nothing. Nothing in Gears of War matched the experience of trying to hold a fortified position in Halo co-op in the middle of a wide-open area either, yet the game was still Videogame Art. You simply appear to not have the faintest clue of how to provide solid criticism (you barely even seem to remember playing 5!), and it is for this reason that it's so hard for me to give your "views" any credence. And the quotation marks in "views" are for a good reason: because it doesn't seem to me that these views are your own, since when called out on them they prove to be a lot of hot air.
I am not saying that 5 or 6 or this game may not have their problems, but even Halo and Gears of War had problems -- and pretty serious ones at that too! All I am saying is that repeating what you've read in blogs and forums, written by people who were simply repeating what other people had written in blogs and forums before them, while being utterly unable to provide any shred of even remotely convincing criticism that can stand on its own, is "poisoning the discourse with nonsense", as Matthew Emirzian put it in another place.
