| Serious_frusting said: The game wasnt nothing special. The game didnt do anything brilliant. Nor did it do anything completely shit. It was just ok. Thats it. It has a few boring moments but nothing to major. The game about the right recognition. Especially when you see the standard of the other games in the genre |
If that standard includes 'roided up anti-heroes who just love to kill everything in their path for no apparent reason other than that they exist, then I agree.
The Darkness didn't do that. They gave the character a real reason to go revenge-crazy and wipe out a mob family. I actually cared about Jackie, something I can't say about Master Chief, any Tom Clancy hero, any WWII shooter character (excepting perhaps that cool Brit dude with the mustache in CoD games), and nearly every other shooter I've ever played (and trust me, I've played fucking hundreds of the things dating back to Wolfenstein).
To tell the truth, I never even cared much about Freeman. I mainly wanted to find out what the hell the dude with the briefcase was up to.
