As far as "You're not really the character, just a force controlling them," I think Omikron: The Nomad Soul did it better.

The worst part about Remember Me is that the bounty hunter never recovers her memory and fights you as a boss. Totally should have. That game did a lot of things right but it still left some things to be desired.

That game did a lot of things right but it still left some things to be desired. Yeah, I really liked Remember Me a lot but it's very confused on its morality and ethics. It fluctuates wildly on whether the protagonist is doing what's right or not, and never settles down on a position, like it's afraid to take a stand that might differ from the player's. A different problem from MindJack's "the team was in the office all the time but we all had our Wanderers leave and go down to the pub during office hours instead of working" issue. Plus, Remember Me was at least extraordinarily pretty.

Loki_XLII posted:So was the door wreckage that Anthony shot the monkey through a legitimate case of the game trapping him, or Anthony not knowing how to vault over things in the game? Interesting idea, but you do auto-vault over stuff as a "Wanderer", so, no, Anthony was definitely stuck in that room.

I'm actually convinced that this is going to be the big twist of Half Life 3. You're not Gordon, you're some rear end in a top hat behind a computer making this nice physicist kill aliens. The G-Man knows this and finds it hilarious, but then annoying. I mean, what explanation did the characters have for the random passers-by and robots helping them out? Spontaneous good will? Lilo and Stitch pulling an inside job?

Last time on MindJack, Jim and Rebecca uncovered a core gameplay element called Mind Waving. This amazing new technology allows for the two to take control of other people's brains and make them fight on their side, so look forward to seeing them use this newly discovered gameplay element. Anyway, the tutorial was cut short after a giant ape burst onto the scene. People got stuck in a lot of doors, monkeys laid traps, it was all very dire. Then our dear friend Lyle Fernandez came to our rescue and shot the ape!! However, Rebecca has made herself scarce, perhaps intimidated by Lyle's good fashion sensibilities. Will Jim and Lyle go clubbin'? What makes Lyle so threatening to Rebecca who just told Jim that there are malcontents within the FIA trying to destroy it and work for NERKAS? Will somebody get stuck in a door? Watch and find out! (since our blip days are numbered, I'm only going to upload to "YouTube", which is a premiere video uploading service owned by Google. So click the banner to watch from here on out.)

I admire this game's dedication to world-building the flavor text for companies that aren't NERKAS and that nobody except three assholes on YouTube would even bother to notice.

Suspicious Dish posted:I thought that was GmbH! Well, basically. edit: AG can also stand for "Arbeitsgruppe", which would be a working group. That doesn't really seem right in this context, though. judge reinhold posted:I admire this game's dedication to world-building the flavor text for companies that aren't NERKAS and that nobody except three assholes on YouTube would even bother to notice. All this world-building, and they still fail to have the title make sense. It's beautiful, really. Anyway, now that we've finally found the MindJules to our MindJim, maybe the story can finally get going. And More fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Oh sure, correct him on Au being gold's chemical symbol but not mention that Ag is still silver. Way to drop the ball on your TV Tropes-assigned roles.

Why don't I have a tv tropes page? I want to read about the fridge brilliance of my ubiquitous subverted tropes.Regy Rusty posted:MindLilo: "Where'd Weiss go?" There was a bit early in the video where Jim had some kind of headache or seizure. Any idiocy in the characters' dialogue or behaviour can be explained away by the mind hacking screwing with their brains. Wait a minute, I just realised something... At the beginning of the game Jim was ordered to just observe Weiss and not interfere... and then completely disregarded his orders, 'made contact' and killed the guy she was meeting with. Lilo was pissed at him for being such a dumbass. But the explanation for this will be that we mindhacked Jim and made him do it

Who the hell calls traffic cones "pylons"? Now we just need to see what you call soft drinks and we'll have another piece of the puzzle. Gotta be honest, I was expecting a starcraft joke, but I guess that would've been Anthony's purview.

I tell ya, the worst day of my life was when this truck pulled up with about 12 pallets of crap and I had to unload them all by myself over a precarious bridge between the dock and the truck. I got 'em out ok, turns out they were all full of NERKAS bodies.
