"For our second day of the 30 Day Gaming Challenge, we’re dealing with characters; Not just any characters, these are our writers’ favourite characters in gaming, due to either their personality traits, the parts they played in the campaign of their games, or because they were just total badasses!"
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
Loved Zell and Altair too.
Zell's character was pretty memorable, esp. when you get to visit his home and meet his mother haha. His combo/limit breaker was very fun to use, I had the most fun using him, so I'd carry him around and cast aura on him.
Altair was my fav. char of the assassin's creed series too. He had a grim and stern deminar. Wasn't a man of many words, and let his actions speak louder than his words. I loved his character, I was sad to see it go in AC2 and happy to see it return in Revelations.
Wow!
Great picks! I'm really impressed with the characters selected.
Zell is my fav from FFVIII. The only FF characters I like better are Red XIII, Shadow, and Edgar
And Altair is my favorite AC character, and was the only reason Revelations was any good imo (I felt that game dragged and was more of the same). It was amazing and sad to see his fate.
Seeing Altair make his triumphant return near Revelations with assassins stunned and greeting him, showing him love and respect, and following him to the end was awesome.

It was cool as seeing Old Snake's journey in Act 4.
Zell needed those hotdogs...never got em' though, poor guy. Has to run like 5 miles to get to the Garden and then...no hotdogs.
Mike Tyson loved him too! Got the same tattoo 'n' shi*.
