![]() ![]() ![]() The end of console generations? Or just a change i.About 'adjective' games and responsibilities.Personally, I feel that their little story was to reinforce the events of the main plot in order to provide a sense of potential clarity to the player. depending on whether you're feeling charitable or not. However, it was either a further reinforcement of the themes of loss, longing and nonfulfillment (and miscontruing events and actions) in order to guide the player towards the true meanings of the events that unfold during the plot or they were a bit too much of 'the same' sort of story telling laid next to the story of Henry/Delilah and Ned/Brian. This was an interesting little piece of flavour to the world and helped add even more human elements to the game. It seems these two guys were like ships in the night, always missing each other and leaving notes that might take many weeks or months to be picked up. ![]() One of them appears to be gay and fancies the other whilst the other is clueless and keeps talking about getting with a woman in their social circle. The last two main characters are the two park Rangers, Ron and Dave whose little side story is really sweet and a little sad. He's more of a mystery and is demonised by Delilah from the very beginning in her descriptions to Henry over the radio. By comparison, Ned is characterised by the lack of his presence in the world the player sees. The characterisation of Brian is less direct but in some ways more powerful due to the use of the 'ghost story-esque' introduction from Delilah for both him and Ned along with the environmental leavings of his things. You really got the sense that Henry was a reluctant conversationalist at the beginning of the story and, just like him, the player has a hard time understanding what Delilah is about. Which makes me the game actually one dimensional since now i feel the best ending is not to get attached to Delilah at all or at least just be friends. Even if you loved, hated or were just friends with Delilah. Basically no matter what you end back with Julia. Not only are they well-written but also well-acted with Henry and Delilah having a real sort of weird chemistry going on. They should have added a few different endings to make it more repayable. With a story this good, the characters are pretty much guaranteed to be well-written as well. It was a nice touch to get to see Henry, Ned and Brian in the credits using the developed camera shots. ![]()
