The poster went wrong when he compared Tomb Raider to Batman Begins. Talk about apples and oranges. Nolan is considered a genius for ripping off Batman: Year One, but Tomb Raider is supposed to give us that same amount of insight in a completely different format? How exactly? Hour long cinematics? Tedious voice overs? Not only did the poster completely ignore the way a narrative can be conveyed in a game, but added nothing to the argument other than " OMG it wasn't Batman".
@maffaxxx, Michelangelo was probably one of the worst painters you could have used for your example. Michelangelo was notoriously cocky, arguing with his patrons (yes even when he worked on the Sistine chapel). The only reason Michelangelo is considered such a great artist is because he knew when NOT to listen to people who had absolutely no understanding of art. If you know anything about Renaissance art, you would have known that the Sistine chapel was an unique painting for its time.
@rhymesmatter, did you even read the article? Then tell me how this "outrage " and petition to change the ending is anything other than idiotic?? Not liking the ending is one thing, to demand to change someone else's work is something else entirely. Bioware is entitled to ruin their ending as they see fit. Also the word "most" doesn't imply that all of you are idiots. At least I gave an example of why I have the opinion that I do which you safely chose to ignore, making your rebuttal invalid, lad. You're just getting defensive while adding absolutely nothing to the conversation. You're just to short sighted to see that........
The same people that are condemning Bioware now are the same ones that would have condemned van Gogh for not conforming to their extremely narrow view on art.
