Hmmm, my net fails but I'll watch that when I can! You really didn't like him? It was a nice break from the other cast (Cranky Curtis, Jackass of a mayor Bartlett, Silly Elle) bringing in paranoid Rambo wheeler wasn't that bad. Although, the whole comic relief thing is most likely true since he did make me smile and grin.Chrism~ wrote:The first time through the game I thought, "who thought that it was ok to put this retard in the game?". It's like what Yahtzee (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... Homecoming) says, you get the choice toBut overall I don't have another choice but than to ignore him, and by now I have. I just don't hope that the next decent Silent Hill game does the same kind of mistake.PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:save him or let him die, and you can't press that let him die button fast enough, and the game actually punishes you for not saving him. I think that it was worth it though
I kinda wanted to ask you...would you be interested in seeing a male lead that wasn't white? provided they pulled his character off nicely? I mean, Wheeler's the first 'black' guy and it seems the response is really negative. It makes me wonder if they'll ever consider making more characters of color again...=/
and I just thought randomly...what if the main 'bad guy' was black? Would that have started controversy? I'm just curious as to whether people dislike Wheeler as a character or the fact he's character was portrayed that way while being black. If he was white, would we still feel he was too 'stereotypical'?
I thought that Elle's reaction was quite understandable. Everything around her was falling apart, people where disappearing, the few left where acting strange and her reality was turning into a secluded limbo and she was right in the middle of it.
I personally think that she was trying to cope with what was going on by holding onto what she knew and actively trying to pursuit it in some more or less passive way. Perfectly understandable as it's a normal psychological behavior pattern weather it's reasonable or not.
Hmm, I understand what you mean. it was sorta like her way of taking control of the situation by doing something? Even if it wasn't helping? I kinda have more respect for her now. ;D I agree a bit with Arsonist. I don't think she should've been such a bitch to Alex. But then again, she is a woman and they are hard to understand.
But doesn't that make him even more realistic? maybe he's watched one too many cop action movies? And you know how 'kids' like to act badass even when they're scared shitless.(even grown men like to act tough when they're scared, don't they? It's really charming.)His whole act seemed very Hollywood, the fact Wheeler is an immortal badass wielding a shotgun with unlimited ammo that can kill any enemy with one hit while he's sprouting up his one-liners really shatters the idea of "two silly kids caught in a trap".
Although the unlimited ammo thing...I didn't pay attention to that. Did we even fight alongside him long enough to know he had unlimited ammo? What about Alex? Who else can carry an Axe, knife, steel pipe, circular saw, dagger, etc all at once?
