for that analogy to fit you would have to change things up. Regardless of what Who you get in on they all at least do the basics of what they're supposed to. they all time travel they all pick up side kicks and spout witty dialogue and hate daleksSenseOfTumour said:I sense it's partly a case of Dr Who syndrome, in that most people love the first one they experienced, then maybe get on with one or two after that, but then decide the earlier ones were too old and the later ones don't feel right.
13 would be a Dr that doesn't time travel doesn't spout wit and would pretty much make no difference if the show was watched or not. It's not a game, Ive seen more interactivity in movies.
fuck, for all it's bookishness even Planescape Torment had the decency to make it so it was the player who guided things along. It was non linear and the choices you the player made mattered, even if the bulk of the game play was reading and making choices it still made sure that all of those things were dependent on the player to get through. DOnt paya attention boom your lost forever, there's a choice to make well you better choose wisely cuz shit 's about to get real depending on your answer
Even in the worst of the old FFs I could at least force myself to pretend to be the hero it wasn't just a hallway then a god damn cutscene repeated ad-nauseum for 50 hours.
