Re: See, that's the thing

In Response To: See, that's the thing (TDSpiral)

: I really want to have a positive attitude about everything 343 releases, but
: sometimes I just have a gut feeling that it's going to be the same ol'
: shlock.

: In Mass Effect 3, they came up with a character, James Vega, who shows up out
: of nowhere with hardly any sort of introduction, and Bioware was trying
: really hard to make the player like him. They made an anime movie, a
: comic, and other ancillary materials about Vega. No one cares about Vega.
: He's just your standard muscle-bound, heroic, military dude. But that's
: not the part that makes people dislike Vega; it's just that this character
: felt SO forced and in your face.

: Palmer is sort of the same character- way too forced. It's like they wrote
: this character to be the next Sgt. Johnson that fans will latch onto
: because she's such a badass. They're trying too hard.

Yeah, I hope they decide on her future based on how well this story does. Her comic series really will be a raw test of their storytelling prowess. No gaming, just story (and art). If people don't change their conviction about her, even just a bit, they really should drop her; or at least reduce her in the rest of the fiction. It's almost like they're trying to make her a primary character... but she's very much not a primary character. The question is, would they make a game centered around her, or with her as the actual protagonist? *shivers* *prays that's not in their long term goal*
