As much as I love the GTA 3 trilogy, those games played like dog shit in their day. They've only gotten worse with age.

I prefer the older ones for the simple reason it they retain the true sandbox feel. The newer games sacrifice the ability to wander off, grab a tank early doors and smash a few missions with it.

I feel like this is a big issue in 'revenge stories' in general, though especially in video games; the fact that Watch Dogs lets you pull the trigger and give a logical conclusion to the main character's arc at least is a step in the right direction even if the developers seem to not want the player to make that choice.

There are few things more baffling to me and more insulting to both players and the characters in a game's story when, after killing dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands of people (hi there Prototype!) with little or no direct relation to the protagonist simply to at last reach 'that man' (or woman) who is the mastermind behind it all and/or personally wronged the protagonist the protagonist at last gets their chance for revenge and walks away. Being the primary antagonist should not be a get out of jail free card.

It's one thing if you are capable of going through the entire game as a pacifist, it's another thing entirely if the player/character has no problem with killing 'less important characters' and then walks away from the one which makes the most sense to kill; it's just outright poor writing.

He was a narcissist but he was also autistic.So some Autistic people who does not know the norms of other human beings will think that other people knows what he thinks.

Not that you can tell from the art alone.

Despite the fact that Kotaku and the like still haven't realised this, the antagonist in the pink suit isn't actually a white dude. If they had bothered to do their research, they'd realise that a plot summary has been leaked on Uplay, and I quote:

'Hidden in the majestic Himalayas lies Kyrat, a country steeped in tradition and violence. You are Ajay Ghale. Traveling to Kyrat to fulfill your mother's dying wish, you find yourself caught up in a civil war to overthrow the oppressive regime of dictator Pagan Min.'

tl;dr the antagonist is Burmese and the protagonist is most likely Nepalese.

You bumped a thread over four years old to say this?
