Stolen Pixels #182: RE: Your Claim

I'm not a Buddhist but I think the lowest thing you can be reincarnated as would be an NPC in a Red Faction game.

From what I remember of the original all the miners were just cannon fodder to momentarily distract the guards.

the worst part about the friendly ai, if they die, and they will, you lose morale and theres no way to tell them to leave so you automatically have to regain it again

And here I thought the people leaping forward to help Gordon in Half Life 2 were bonking suicidal. I dunno about Red Faction but at least you can send your squad in HL2 to a safe corner temporarily. Or even send them forward as cannon fodder without losing anything....not even a tear.
I like how they word autoregenerating health like it's a preexisting condition.

That's hilarious.

Man, I think I'd have WAY too much fun with this game. I'm the guy that spent half my Syndicate games mentally reprogramming the civilans and then sending them in Zerg-like wave against the enemy agents.

Under-Armed Civilians + Chain-gun Wielding Cyborgs = AWESOME XD

Their tiny, insignificant, meat-shield-based, non-tactical sacrifice will have not gone in vain, considering the point of the game was to smash things and kill police officers.. on Mars...
