It's not like Infinite is the best game ever but him "criticizing" the "race politics" of a game where the driving conflict is racism, American exceptionalism and how misguided of all that is just shows what a mountain dew 360 no scope gamer he is.

I have it on PS2 and I love the presentation and atmosphere, as well as the idea of fighting ghosts with a camera. That being said I never finished the game. The controls were driving me mad with wasted shots and not being able to get a distance between me and the ghosts without getting hit. It's like if Resident Evil made you go into first person mode with manual aim every time you wanted to shoot or stab an enemy. And the enemies move as normal while you're switching between the user interfaces and adapting to them. This game should've had an auto-aim quick-shot mode - with a toggle between head and torso - and a first person option for detailed critical hit shots. That is shots where you nail that depth of field and shutter speed. Or perhaps different game modes. In photography jargon a hard mode using a fully manual camera and one easy mode using a camera with auto-wind, auto-focus, aperture and shutter speed priority and optional flash. I love my Pentax MX fully manual film camera and it taught me a lot about photography, but as a weapon for capturing ghosts on film I'd go for a point and shoot, say my Pentax PC35AF-M. Ghosts are notoriously difficult to direct in a photo session and lack the patience to wait while you manually change the aperture and shutter speed according to the results of your light meter. You'll die faster than you can say "wait a second until I do a light measurement of the shadow because I'm using a high contrast slow film and I need to get all the details of your apparition."
