Anyway, my two cents:

Seriously, how could they turn such an interesting character (in previous games) into a foul-mouthed wretch with zero personality?


In the new film, they've made him Asian! :?

And Star Wars Episode I was written for kids.

Yes, it actually was written as a family film - which is just another way of saying film for kids. :fp:

I know that, but when was Carnaby of Asian decent?

To be fair, in the older games, he looked like his ethnic origin was "paper sculpture".

Isn't he the asshole of the group that you're NOT SUPPOSED to like?


...Yes. That's why i put him. Tingle has the same reason for being in Zelda.

Possibly. But they're both there as they are to serve a purpose in the storyline. So they're not "bad characters" as such. Just purposely unlikeable ones.

Though you might argue that if a game can't provide the player with a reason to play it other than to watch the story unfold, you could legitmately ask why SquareEnix don't just make it a movie instead.

Fortunately the gameplay isn't THAT bad. It could usually just about support itself without the story, though not for the hours upon hours you'll need to pour in to finish your average RPG.

One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

I have an annoying tendency to rush through games just to know the whole story, and how it ends. Sometimes this means i miss out on all the gameplay possibilities, and might not enjoy the game as much as i could.

It's a notoriously difficult balance to hit. World as story-background, or gameplay toy?

Because you can't have a 50 hour movie?
