It's shit and unoriginal but will continue happening until the world ends.
I'm sick of all the popular fps games having an American main character. Theres so many other nationalities in the world, can't they use one of them.
Finally someone who shares my opinion. it was just a bad Nintendo ploy to make itself look more mature. Does she really need that overly sexual voice?ColdStorage said:
yea I've played all the Turoks (cept for the latest one)ColdStorage said:
That was so annoying! It was still fun as hell to use it though. Turok was one the first games that got me into gaming and it was fun to play with my dad
It's weird but I still remember the sounds those guns make. Both the equip and the firing.
HOLD ON!, she speaks in Brawl?shophius said:
oh my god, there's no fucking hope, Nintendo can go fuck itself, I was gonna buy Metroid Prime 3 as well... now I'm boycotting it.
Someone at Nintendo not high on drugs must have realised that was a bad idea?
Or just got off over it. Yeah she speaks in the celebration screen sometimes if you win a Brawl. They gave her a whip for a weapon and everything.ColdStorage said:

One thing do I get a bit tired of is the wide-spread complaint of most male protaganists being muscle bound badasses while women are often stereotypical sexual godesses.
Firstly, male protaganists are often images of physical perfection and combat fitness because that image makes the most sense given the context (if it's an epic mission to save mankind who would you send into the heart of an alien stronghold to kick extraterrestrial ass? the nice, if somewhat geeky, normal kind of guy...or Chuck Norris and Rosy O'Donald combined in genetically enhanced super human form?), I personally would find a protaganist laughable if it's more likely that I, just a regular human being, could probably kick their arse without much in the way of trouble (yes, I'm looking at both of you, Gordon and Alyx).
Also, it is easily proveable that most gamers worldwide are going to be men and the universal image of an attractive women (as far as most men are concerned) is slender, large tits and a nice ass (why do you we think we have such a well defined and widely known stereotype?). It's all just for entertainment in a virtual spectrum (I'm pretty certain that no-one intends any ill will towards women, it just so happens that showing a little animated flesh sells good and is easy on the eyes for some) so I think that some of these PC-obsessed individuals need to relax and not take everything so seriously.
EDIT: I also find forced segements in shooters to be annoying (where they force you to either be stealthy, snipe, man a gun, pilot a tank/helicoptor/boat etc.with no alternative approaches).

Yes, thank you! I hate it when people gripe about "space marine" protagonists. If the game's set in the future, and it's about combat, it's very hard to avoid using a quote/unquote space marine. Who fights wars? Soldiers. Who fights them in space? Space soldiers. Why are they invariably in powered armor? Because if it's available, you'd be an idiot not to use it.Iron Mal said:
