I loved this game and I'm kind of glad it's not getting a sequel. It really doesn't need one, maybe another Spec Ops game with different characters, setting, etc. would be good, but I felt the game was perfect as it is, no need to mess it up with an unnecessary sequel.
Also, bring on Dead Island 2!
I seems to me that for the past year or two there is a shift back to the attitude of the late 80s/early 90s where games in the "adventure" genre catered for the player looking for more intellectual entertainment and action games were aimed at those interested in mindless fun.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. The wheel will keep turning and I think it is a driving force behind innovation. A few years from now we may even see a CoD worth playing in single player again (like the first Modern Warfare) when intellect and story meets shooting.
In the interim, there are some excellent indie developers out there that are more than willing to serve the small(ish) community looking for both action and IQ.
One day, I'll grow up and become responsible.
Probably not today.
