I already controlled a father figure in The Walking Dead, wishing I wasn't a 40 year old man, now I have to control a 30 something year old that looks like a freakin hobo guarding a 14 year old girl in the upcoming game

The Last Of US

so YET AGAIN I have to play freakin daddy in a video game, god damn it, why can't I play as a brother figure or a young adult. Jesus christ. I am sick and tired of being the daddy in video games. Not to mention that the main character is ugly! At least Lee looked ok.

God DAMN these developers don't have a clue

I am annoyed. For me it taints what otherwise looks like a damn good game.

    Because that's the story they're choosing to tell. If you don't like it, don't play it.

    It's a conspiracy by the games industry to get us off our butts and go raise a family. 8)

    I'd very much like to see you name those other thousand times.

    Dead Rising 2
    The Walking Dead
    Dishonored
    Enslaved

    That's 4, a long way of thousands and with some questionable picks for instance if that's your opinion of the story of Enslaved then you really missed the whole point.

    my point was it's already been done before and very recently. The Walking Dead. In this new upcoming game I have to be a figure father to a younger girl. I don't want to go through that again, I've already done that with Lee and Clementine.

    I also have a problem that the main character looks like a hobo

    He just looks like he hasn't shaved, which isn't really the biggest concern in a post-apocalyptic world.

    The fact that the guy looks like he does is not new. It's been there since the very first reveal of the game. You've had plenty of time to bitch about this. Why start doing so now?

    As for the games... Dead Rising 2 and The Walking Dead I'll give you, but the others? Dishonored was about clearing your name after being framed for murdering someone, and Enslaved was about a journey between a man and a woman who come to trust and depend on one another.

    4 games - two, technically - is not a thousand. Try harder.

    It's not as if young and stylish protagonists haven't been done to death as well. Grizzled veterans are just another trope of many.

    Name me a game that has you control a young main character that looks out for a little girl and develops a brother/sister relationship.

    Ico, while the girl is more likely the same age as Ico you look after and protect Yorda (the girl) throughout the entire game. Also there is no romance, it's more a friendship than anything so technically it could be a brother/sister relationship if you looked at it that way.

    Yeah, that's what everyone's sick of. Not Joe action star and big tits Suzy that starred in 95% of all games ever made.

    In Tales of Symphonia (the first one-- I haven't played the sequel), Lloyd Irving is too young to actually have a serious romantic relationship with any of the 4 women in the party. There are bits where the person who likes Lloyd most has additional cutscenes with him, they aren't romantic to him. Sure, Collette likes Lloyd, but they're really just very good friends.

    In Secret of Mana, the boy, girl and sprite are partners in their quest. And the girl's love interest is Dyluck, not the main protagonist.

    I meant games that is based on the real world with or without supernatural events. Like...

    Tomb Raider
    The Walking Dead
    uncharted
    Red Dead Redemption
    GTA

    I hear that they don't even communicate, so how can they even develop a brother/sister relationship? Do they act like brother and sister?

    If you ask me we need more protagonists like Wario tbh.

    How would Clementine react if Larry kissed her on the lips?
    I would like to see that

    Congrats to Telltale for playing host to someone who apparently likes to shock people with trolling posts about pedophilia fantasies and complaints about not getting to play games as kid characters.

    I have seen innocent posts advertising Ultimate Online-like communities get deleted, but you put up with this?

    As a Telltale customer, I want you to know I don't like seeing this sick crap on here. This thread of Tazzle's isn't bad in and of itself, but please watch what else he puts up.

    Actually, no, I wasn't going to. Hence this thread being closed, since it seems to have derailed somewhat.
    I wonder how THAT happened. :p

    Thanks for the REPOST. Like, really, thank you so much. If you don't wish to see that crap in here, how about not fucking REPOSTING IT?!?

    I've personally closed these threads and then some. What you're doing here is nothing but attacking a community member from behind. And I don't care how justified or not this is. You_just_don't.
