Basically SotC was old-school verbs but in a new light (and impressionistic visual style). If a game really pulled off some interesting social verbs, and with the same aesthetic mastery that Shadow embodied, then that would be something much more important that Ueda-san's opus.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614962832390315553noreply@blogger.com
