Do you like to play open ended sandbox-styled games like [insert any open-ended game here]? According to DICE’s Patrick Bach who is serving as the Executive Producer to Battlefield 3, you are in the minority because sandbox games just plain suck.

“In some cases they aren’t, but in most cases sandbox games are hardcore, boring, hard to get into and they are not very popular.”

You hear that kiddos? If you play GTA, Saint’s Row, Red Dead Remption, or even Battlefield 2: Bad Company that DICE worked on that is considered “sandboxish” then you are playing a game that is at the bottom of every gaming barrel.

That dude's moustache is retarded. It just screams "I'm a douche", which is already pretty apparent considering his latest remarks.

I got the distinct impression that he thinks that his sh*t doesn't stink with the games that they make. If that is the case then he needs to go take a big whiff of the pile of crap that is the single player of both Battlefield Bad Company games. Not to mention Mirror's Edge kind of failed and should I remind them of the past pinball games?

Yeah, smelly sh*t!

I some what agree with him, every sandbox I've ever played has taken me months to beat, hell I'm still only a few hours into Red Dead Redemption and I've had it at school all year.

There are a whole bunch of gamers who just want to login, and start capping sh*t right away. They don't want story, they don't want to lead up to things... they just want action straight away.

Which is just fine. However, there's no reason to bash another genre, while holding your game aloft. We know you need to sell your game, and get people excited about it. You're doing it wrong though, Patty.

I'll take an open ended sandbox game over any other, though. I like to dictate what happens in my games as much as possible. I don't want corridors or paths. I don't need my hand held. I've been playing games for more than three decades. I know what I like and I don't need someone telling me any different.

That guy is a fa g. Sandbox games are beast.

My first though was 'Where's GG?' . I'm glad I scrolled down to find you
