Yeah, pretty much. I had some hope for the concept of this game, but seriously, after seeing that opening cinematic I've lost all interest.maninahat said:My lord, some of the cheapest tactics to make you hate the enemies possible:
Faceless enemies, sinister lectures, parent murder, eye scanners. utterly ridiculous.
Yeah, what was with leaving the kid alive? "Can't shoot a kid, can ya?"hermes200 said:Indeed.Woodsey said:Haha, that Batman thing had me giggling. As for the scene itself - which is supposed to be so mightily horrifying - it all seems incredibly forced.
I still don't know why they leave the small kid alive, instead of beating him to death with his father's body... That would have been eviler, right?
I was thinking the same thing. There goes the one chance at some humanization in this game.llafnwod said:Wow. At the beginning I actually thought the scene was those DPRK soldiers forcibly enlisting a North Korean guy, and then you'd switch to the view of an American soldier and have to think about how the people you're killing, just like you, don't all want to be there, don't want to kill and don't want to die.
Then I realized it was just some pre-game demonization.
"Black guy dies first [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackDudeDiesFirst]" always comes as a total surprise, huh.gamegod25 said:Honestly I think a game/comic about Batman as a freedom fighter in an occupied America would be way more interesting than this.
And I guess they had to make the N. Koreans that blatantly asshole-ish since they couldn't make the main characters even remotely likeable. The black guy was alright I guess but *spoiler alert* he dies before we really get to know him.
Wait, do you mean the Unskippable guys or the Koreans?MowDownJoe said:Yeah, seriously... I need Brain Bleach now.Nashidar said:No no. Eviler ...would be beating the father to death with the small kid alive ...possibly killing the kid in the process.hermes200 said:Indeed.Woodsey said:Haha, that Batman thing had me giggling.

But more evil than that was the mental image they've given me. Thanks a bunch.
Plus, you gotta wonder how fast that truck had to go to make the bus flip over...vivster said:also that ramming thing was a bit extreme... normally people get killed by that
Oh good, I wasn't the only one thinking of "Gunbutt, P.I." from cH - Garagellenium.rofl jet said:Butt guns? You mean like butt cop?
That and the idea that North Korea could pull off a transpacific invasion of the US. China I could buy, but seriously......NORTH KOREA? I'm already placing bets that if the Korean War ever restarts, half the of the NK Army's vehicles break down within a week(that's not counting the ones that are already blown up by that point). Kind of like in Crysis where the North Koreans suddenly have a modern Navy and Nano-suit tech.maninahat said:My lord, some of the cheapest tactics to make you hate the enemies possible:

And it worked a lot better then.GrizzlerBorno said:Didn't Modern Warfare 1 do this already like, 4 years ago?
