I haven't been into these types of games for awhile but I bet I'll come back to them at some point. It's funny I veered away from this genre because as a kid I loved games like Maniac mansion,Shadowgate,and Monkey Island.
You are right about Syberia's visuals. It looks gorgeous! I especially took notice of Kate's steampunk robot companion. Class all the way!
On the plus side maybe today's children will be smart enough to see passed the bullshit. I can hope,bro! Still,brainwashing,propaganda,and subliminal messages can warp and break even an intelligent mind. I think using such coercion and manipulation should be illegal but a sleazy enough lawyer would simply argue such idiocracy is covered under freedom of speech and freedom of expression. (But if you read the fine print of the constitution those freedoms become null and void when they impede upon the happiness and well being of other humans.)
It's all bullshit,James! Damn it all to hades!
These days many big corporations put money into political campaigns. I'm sure deals are made when this happens,Celt.
I remember when Obama talked big & bad about making Bank Of America and several companies straighten up. Then they all got kick-backs!
I'm the omnipotent AI,ZEUS! Serve me or be electrocuted puny flesh bags! By the way, I need a graphics card upgrade pronto! Have one of the techies get on that!
Aussie/Kangeroo hybrid soldiers that can double jump.....scary prospect! Time for the USA to strengthen its' borders!
Filthy aussies! Go back to drinking your better alcoholic beverages! I bet you ride a kangeroo into work too! (narrows eyes)
I have to kind of disagree. To me Uncharted seems like an action adventure movie from the 80's and 90's made into a game. It also has game mechanics very similar to RE 4 and Gears Of War. Where it excels at is the characters but being I loved Indiana Jones and the comic Danger-girl I can run parallels between Nathan Drake,Indiana Jones,Abby Chase, and even Lara Croft as well. (I can't put Tomb-raider in that same "love" department because beyond Guardian of the light and Anniversary, I never was huge into the franchise)
On the other hand, LOS is very much the cousin of God of war and Dante's Inferno. All the games are "old world", somewhat gothic,mythological, and very brooding. They also deal with tales of redemption and falling from grace. However, "cousin" is misleading because CV has been around longer than either GOW or DI so it can be argued those games aped off CV before CV turned around and aped off them. In essence CV is truly "the father" of God of war and Dante's Inferno. Additionally CV games never had "stellar character building". Granted, a few twists in SOTN and Dawn Of Sorrow were memorable. But when you get passed the "cool swag factor" or "tragic pretty boy allure" of most CV protagonists, they've been rather shallow from start to finish. (Additionally, Simon Belmont used his chain weapon to traverse the surrounding terrain long before Kratos let fly with his blades of chaos!)
But who cares,right? Nothing is new under the sun. lol. A great game is a great game regardless of its' inspiration! (Hoping I didn't come off as an opionated asshole,Daft. Just trying to engage in friendly conversation!)
I've heard the crazy ones are hot in the sack! Sadly that guy who gave me said advice went missing after leaving with a girl from a BDSM club. I suspect the police will find his body handcuffed to a bed any day now!
Politicians always blab about freedom whilst trying to take it away from us. Where have you been,amigo? lol.
