The story was probably the best I've ever played and was really better than most movies.
I played this at Christmas as well and thought the story was very good but then I bought and played The Walking Dead and it just blows it out of the water for story
It is now my top game of 2012

Thats what Walt whatever his surname is says, the guy who wrote it. Its walkers own purgatory.
Cannot recommend this highly enough, also if people get the chance they should read the online book written about it.
Another great subtle touch I only just picked up onat the three points in the game you get separated from your squad mates you have only a pistol on you. In two of them (the first and last) its a desert eagle and the second time you pick up a revolver. Now the desert eagle is interesting because its a weapon you dont ever pick up in the game I think, you start the game with an m9 pistol and I dont think anyone else ever pulls a a eagle on you during the campaign. *Except* in the ending, when the weapon konrad killed himself with is in fact a Desert eagle, and it is a desert eagle you use either to kill yourself or konrad's reflection at the end of the game (and still have it in the epilogue).
Picked this up when it was on midweek madness sale this week with steam, really enjoyed it despite the flaws (gamebreaking bugs requiring me to reload checkpoints twice during my playthrough and at times frustratingly repetitive gameplay) I really felt it was the style that really sold it to me. From the very beginning I just loved how the game *spoke* to me, from its storyline to the quirky messages it would send as either mission objectives or loading screen quotes, I liked that in the opening credits it announced me as a special guest star, I adored the loading quote later in the gameIt's all your faultand just how the player, the characters and the enviroment decayed over time, also that freaky fight with the heavy where the lights start flickering, was an early scary tense surprise this year for me.sadly I will admit my judgement at the games epilogue was spoiled by my most childish of reasons, I'd only just discovered the joy of the AA12 shotgun in the very last segment of the game after I took it from the heavy who burst through the door, but really really enjoyed using it. So when Walker was holding that at the end, the desire to do another segment using it overpowered my moral sense to what is right and I blew the head off the guy who was asking me to hand him the gun
You know a game has struck a chord when the first thing you want to do after finishing is talk about it.
Also is this the first video game that can be considered a satire? I know we've had parodies, but this could be the first genuine satire.0 -
