Since the episode is pretty full of spoilers, I won't talk about it in depth too much today. But there are a lot of valid points in it that can be applied to other games/films by learning from its missteps. Characterization has to come from not only what the character says, but what the character does. It is a huge part in how people react to the character, and when the character acts strangely or conversely to the way they speak or have learned from previous games, it is a bit jarring.
I learned something new myself today, that one of the creators of the series, David Jaffe, only directed God of War 1. Maybe this was the problem- or maybe it was simply the way that the team thought the character should evolve. Today on Video Game Reunion, the Contra guys cameo, and what is this cardboard box...?
For this week's soundtrack we have Platoon and Blaster Master! Enjoy!
