"Destruction of Character"

Hey peeps. Don't write much, but hey, here I am.

So, dears. I'm talking typing to you today to say about this nasty nasty thing I keep noticing in all these games that seem to be churned out all the time...

Where are the characters? Personally, when I go to play a game, I want to be seeing people on the screen that I can fall in love with.

Even Mario is more intriguing than most of the excuses for characters we have to put up with... within the last few years, we've had some fantastic characters, sure... Gordon Freeman from Half-life, didn't say a word, but still managed to become memorable by the way everyone acted towards him. First person in every sense of the word, we should see more like that.

I'm not one for shooters personally though, I'm more of an RPG cat.

And you're sure to find some decent characters in RPGs. Most of them are very emotionally strained, but hey, they're still characters.

Solid Snake is a pathetic character. Seriously, how can anyone fall in love with him? I'm sure his creator thinks he's very powerful and all, but really, I'd rather see someone a bit more realistic, please...

Whatever happened to the emotional types in games? What about the pathetic weak ones that try and try to get what they want but never seem to get anywhere?

For characters, see point and click. Guybrush Threepwood? Sam and Max, Bernard, Simon the Sorcerer? I love these guys. And the more you think about it, the more I kinda realise for me, love is based on communication. The more I hear about these people, the more you see into their lives, as quirky as they are, the more you love them.

Unfortunatly, the average games developer doesn't seem quite capable of humour, or communication on the long range... ah well.

So, suggestion? I want to see another point and click game. Well, something simular anyway. I want to fall in love with a character again.

But love aside, am I the only one that finds Fox McCloud sexy?

Mwa people.

Wow, someone replied! Thank you! *grins*

I've not played Mario Sunshine yet, really want to! Grix, being the idiot he is, left his Gamecube back in Wales when we came up to Essex.

We'll go back down to Wales soon, I guess. I hope. Hehe. We're actually planning on dragging Katie around Pembrokeshire.

And everyone of you is a pillock. Go away.
