      I remember reading those Dev journals too, but I feel like they helped me to get more out of B&W than most other people.

      Yes, it was all about building hype, but it meant that I played more in a “find-your-own-fun-and-set-your-own-goals” way, which I think was what the original intent was.

      Everyone’s biggest complaint was that the missions were half-baked and felt like they were thrown in right at the end. And they were right.
