229: Snap, Crackle and Plot

[warbaloon]

One of my favorite things about Metroid Prime was the total absence of dialog in favor of documents you would find scattered throughout the world. A beautiful world devoid of human contact with a rich story may not be a healthy fantasy...then again it may just be my love of subtitles.

I would've liked Halo if it had bothered to let me know what the characters were saying...

I love Audio logs

Best logs I've ever heard were from the Malkavian Primogen Alistair Grout's Mansion in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. An ancient mad scientist Vampire's records of his experiments as well as eerily accurate observations of other characters and predictions of future events hidden in the mad ramblings recorded on old fashioned real tape voice recorders.
They added a LOT of atmosphere to an already atmospheric mansion/asylum.
