Thou shall not approve and then film a viral rap video for your videogame company.
..or maybe you should.
WARNING! THIS GAME INCLUDE GIRL WITH ATTITUDE!
In the first Mass Effect, there was so much stuff I considered boring, stupid or just mildly annoying. Speaking of which: guns. Am I the only one that needs to like the weapons to really get sold into the game? It’s not about being badass, but more about the design and the feeling. Shooting with an alien gun in Halo feels like spraying people with a water pistol. And the terran weapons, that kinda looks okay, are incredibly underwhelming to shoot with. The Mass Effect gun (there’s basically only one, with different textures) it’s basically a toy gun, straight out from an italian scifi movie of the 70s.
The whole playthrough was terrible for me, but then there was the occasional interesting sub-plot or a particularly inspired secondary alien race.
Thing is, I’m pretty good at finishing RPGs I don’t like. I usually storm through them. Actually, I’m more likely to finish a flawed game: if I’m enjoying it I take it slow, and often end up losing interest and starting playing something different. Yeah, short attention-span.
What I was saying? oh yeah, some game I don’t care too much about let’s you give orders to a girl that says biatch a lot.
It’s a shooter. Everytime you destroy an enemy ship, a file on your computer gets deleted. If they destroy your ship instead, the client of the game gets deleted. Could be interesting an hardcode mode where destroying your ship gets you a format c: - or maybe not.
Monkey Island 2 Special-Uber Edition, or putting your Monkey Island 2 inside your Crysis for maximum remake awesomeness. Too bad this is just a proof of concept.
So there’s a new mod from the makers of Dear Esther. I can’t play it at the moment, but you probably should: it seems quite scary and more close to a proper game than to a virtual experience (yeah I know the term suck, but I find really hard to call Esther a game).
Looking forward to more Chinese Room goodness.
