Оk, I'm halfway through the game, and guess what? This game deserves a 10 hands down. And something tells me that if Kevin had done the review, it would have been a perfect score.
For me, playing as a woman in the Souls games, Dragon's Dogma and the like, kind of adds to the dark experience and immersion. The gruesome challenges are to be answered and overcome, and a weak and fragile protagonist has got to gradually turn into a stainless cold-blooded war machine.
That's how I see it. But it really depends on the game: I'm not a huge fan of FemShepard for instance.
I don't know. Most of the time I play as an attractive
female, having put some extra time in the character creation. Simply 'cause a hot woman is always a sight for sore eyes. Besides, I usually find male versions of my alter ego a bit 2-dimentional and stereotipical for some reason.
@Dark_Rage Same here, bro. When I saw that Origins was reviewed by CaroIyn, I immediately started having my doubts. And somehow the gut feeling proved to be right on the button.
Well, the only ones who're able not to compare the new Thief to its roots, are those who simply didn't play the old games. I actually think it's pretty legit to do so, because the Thief series has always been a masterpiece to me. So, I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for this one.
Well, having completed the first season, I can't help but to feel confident about the sequel's future. There's simply no way, that the guys from Telltale might drop the ball. Can't wait for a new old helluva story to begin.
