When Player Characters Tick You Off (Inspired by Limbo)

Ironhammers writes: It may seem odd to care about a character this way. After all, I’ve sent countless pixelated avatars to suffer incredible amounts of pain and certain death. But isn’t this what makes games resonate with us emotionally—the feeling that we have carried some character with us through an emotional journey, albeit one where they have to do the heavy lifting killing-wise?

limbo actually had a lot of undertones and feelings in it. The characters were actually great, although not fleshed out.

totally agree, and especially with a game like Limbo...I tend to think the charcter not being fleshed out was a plus.

Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.

It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers

Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.

But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.
