Unskippable: Vanquish: Part 1

[Alahmnat]

Why is San Francisco always targeted come on. What did it ever do to you besides be full of annoying hippies. I have to live there.

San Francisco and New York City are the only two major cities in the United States as far as Hollywood, and now the video game industry, are concerned. And I think people still feel a little squicky about beating up on NYC, so San Francisco is the new favorite target.

That's my impression, anyway .

But the golden gate bridge has been destroyerd like 10 times now and the city is already broke. Why can't they go after Portland Oregon or Vancouver. Noooo it's always San francisco.

Well, considering Vancouver is located in Canada . . .

Canadians need to be invaded by aliens to sometimes.

I like how you guys pronounce "Nokia"

 

[The Random One]

Truly, nobody expects Space Russians. They're a lot like the Spanish Inquisition in that respect.

 

[SensibleCrout]

Below average of Unskippable.
Still way above average of everything else on the Interwebs.

 

[Pumpkinmancer]

Really? The bad guys are Russian?

*sigh*

Is it too much to ask for something a little more original?

Who would you like? Aliens? Mega-corporations? Beings from another dimension? Middle Eastern terrorists? China? Robots? We?ve done all the original and plausible enemies.

This cutscene's representation of San Francisco somehow saddens me, and it's not because of the laser.

Also: Paul you now owe the State of California $25 for you utterance of "The-name-for-San Francisco-you-do-not-use-to-refer-to-San-Francisco." That's 25 US dollars or so help me Emporer Norton's ghost will rise from the grave and sword you somethin' fierce!

 

[Plurralbles]

Somehow the US didn't see the giant space laser system coming.... In space....where did they hide it during manufacturing and R&D?

 

[Vohn_exel]

Nothing like a game that takes place in the future yet relies on a war that technically never happened. Yeah, all of us people that remember the cold war are just eating these futuristic Bond villain wannabes .

Also, Paul, Frisco is a town here in Texas. We already got one, California has to wait in line

It doesn't look that broke; the Marin side of the bridge (currently just a rocky peninsula) is covered with buildings, and the Presidio is looking pretty dense.

I think the laser was initially intended to boil the bay water for, ehm, "California Research". The destruction and Space Russians were just unintended side effects.

"I may have to check my Bible again, but I'm pretty sure God doesn't have a giant space laser."

Aahhh, priceless.

Ok, fine. But Russians? If they have to be unoriginal couldn't they not use the same enemy as the recent Call of Duty games?

It just bugs me.

To be honest, it bugs me too.

Is this that Japanese game they're filling with badass stereotype characters to appeal to Western action game fans? I suppose Platinum Games is keeping up the trend from Bayonetta: great gameplay; nonsensical story.

San Fran, NYC and Washington, DC are the only American cities with landmarks that most non-Americans will recognize, and probably most Americans too. Much as it would be cool to devastate the St. Louis Gateway Arch or the Chicago Willis (formerly Sears) Tower once in a while, most people wouldn't know what they are.

Randomly, I forgot to turn off Pandora while I was watching this, and it started playing Pink Floyd's "One of These Days", and a lot of the song matched up with some of the beats in the dialogue... Coincidence? Hell yeah! But it didn't stop this from being amusing! Next time I invite people over to my holographic house, I'll make sure they wipe their feet before walking on mt holographic floor.

 

[Christer]

lol who would have thought

Spoiler

the bad guys would be Russians ...just lol

makes ZP:Black ups all the more true

-- this is exactly how truth works!

 

[AlphaRam]

Ugh...I guess they are never gonna make the Americans the bad guys.No F***in' OFFENcE but ...What? You gettin ofended? WHAT ABout the Russians?The Americans are allways the good guys,if...we don't count Vietnam,Iraq,AFghanistan and first and second world war witch all exist because of the american central bank>THE REAL TORRORISTS.And what did the Russians do?"Get Drunk and play tennis in peace" -Yahtzee .This is a joke but tells that they are not hungry for war.
Why do i even waste my breathe.You are gonna delete my messege and ban me just for saying the truth.And maybe for my bad English...Yes it is bad but I am wasteing my energy for learning your language and you don't know mine(even where my country is located)... respect me at least only for that.Not only me,every one else who knows your language but isn't American.
I respect Americans who know the truth, are good people and respect others...
Ugh...Why can't we all ,just get along...Ah yes,cuz if we do,there could be no wars and that means no money for the bankers...
OH,this is a game forum,what the hell am i doing here.Chances of anyone knowing something about the reality are small.Im gonna post this anyway.Cuz i maybe,just maybe,can make someone stop and think for a second,at least a second.
Im sooo gonna get banned for that...and the admins allways say"im doing my job" like robots,no humanaty in them.Proove that im wrong! I respect good human admins!
