Chosen One

[Nargleblarg]

I am tired of every game you are dubbed some super special god-like being of power can't for once I be some just regular solider. Anyone Agree

 

[Gahars]

Yeah, but it's not very interesting if you play as Mr. Farmer, who milks the cow while you could be playing as the hero of all time.

 

[meatloaf231]

Call of Duty 4? You know, one of the most popular games of this generation?

 

[Freyar]

Eh.. It's the reason I've had troubles with games like City of Heroes/Villains, or anything else. A lot of games end up with special training or along those lines.

I don't know, maybe it is just the level of AI development.

 

[KarumaK]

Not really, average soldier is average. And therefore only interesting for a little while.

In the case of semantics: you are the average soldier, because if every game has a super soldier PC then they have now become standard, normal, and average.

 

[reaper_2k9]

Its always fun once in awhile to have god like powers but I agree sometimes I just want to play a game where I'm not and I have to use skill and whatever else I can in order to make it through.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

If you want to feel like just another cog in the war machine, play as a stormtrooper in Star Wars Battlefront

 

[the farkinator]

Isn't this the whole point of RPGs? Oh wait. Yahtzee already took this one down.

I hate how in every game im the super human that can magically blow the faces off 200 enemies while in my Allys usually get 1 kill. I want a epic war game where dieing wont reset it but throws you into another solider some game where dieing is not like "aww fuck back to the checkpoint" but like a epic rush with mortars and then you die.

Don't forget BioShock...

You mean like Battlefield: 2?

That's a good point, but if the game's story can make the player really care about the character, it can make all the difference.

 

[Calobi]

^Clearly not a fan of Harvest Moon.^

 

[Chickenlittle]

I'm also tired of this.

A fun game could have you controlling a regular trooper, then control a different one when he dies.

Good point.

 

[mooncalf]

Anarchemitis makes an apt response, almost perfect in fact, poor disposable stormtrooper #2049950673 finally gets his day in the limelight.

There are a number of popular game characters in story-driven games I can think of who started out as regular folk, too. Remember Gordon Freeman is a glorified Lab Assistant.

that or just about any battlefield game...

 

[B-lockdown080]

I'd like to see a game where your the underdog or underpowered person for once and the super powered guy is your rival or enemy or something like that.

 

[Omatamata]

Wow, no one has mentioned Mario yet.

I mean, he is just a plumber. :'D
