We've all seen or at least heard of the silent protagonist trope in gaming. However does it actually create good complex characters? Or will it be another aspect of gaming that will eventually be non-existent?
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.
"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."
😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?
Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.
20% off...lol
The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
I think it's a good thing in The Elder Scrolls. It would make conversations take a hell of a lot longer if your character had to actually say all the dialogue options you chose.
We will have the civil rights group here in a minute saying it's offensive there's not enough mutes in games. :-/
It depends on the story I think. Shadow of the Colossus is one example of great story with a silent protagonist. The Legend of Zelda too, although it could be much better than the generic normal boy is the chosen one to save the princes from evil.
Depends on the game and somewhat the genre of the game.
So we believe it will stick around as it has its place and not every protagonist needs to be talkative and stuff.
Well, you know the saying: "Actions speak louder than words". What the character ultimately does in the story will give the players the information they need to understand the character.
