It looks like Steam’s going to be getting the PC copy a little late. Bummer.
I’ll be doing a journal while I play through full of my impressions of the game, etc. Something I wish I’d done with the previous games. Any game with great plot twists usually have me saying funny things at one point then having some great turn around leading me to,
[゜д゜]; …WHAT THE SHIT? DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT? DID I JUST SEE THAT? HE JUST… HE JUST SKEWERED AERIS! WH… WHY? WH-WHY? WHY!!!? OH GOD, OH JENOVA, OH BALLS, WHY!?
Or maybe even…
[~O~] Oh… Heather’s Alessa reincarnated huh? Didn’t see that one coming. (-_- )ノ Where’s that crazy chick with no eyebrows? Haaa… she’s nuts…
Or a little bit of…
[≧ω≦] Oooh! Walter hella wants Eileen’s ass! He’s all emo over her, playing with his doll on the stairs like, “MMM EILEEN GIVE ME SOME PUDDIN’.” and Eileen’s like, “What the shit? Kurt Cobain?” and Henry’s like, “No, he’s more like a Buddy Jesus gone wrong.” and then I find Eileen all bloody and whatnot and I’m like, “Oh… damn, that must’ve been some rough sex.” and Eileen’s talking to this little boy like, “Bitch, go find your mommy, or get me a moist towelette or something!” and little Walter’s like “—sigh—” and Henry’s like, “What the fu… EILEEN? DID THE RABBIT DO THIS TO YOU? THE RABBIT DID IT.” and then we go to the hospital and behind the curtains its like, “Oh damn, Walter’s scoring again.” then we see what he’s really doing and it’s like [゜д゜][゜д゜][゜д゜] “WHUT… EWWW… HYSTERECTOMY FAIL.” then he comes after Henry like, “HAY BABY DID YOU JUST DROP THE SOAP?” and Henry’s like, “Oh fuck!” and runs.
I’d run. I’d probably try to get his number first, and then Walter would be like, “What the… but… you’re a dude.” and I’d be like, “Don’t mind the hair, baby, I’ll show you a REAL woman.” and he’d be like, [゜д゜] and I’d be like, “How long am I going to ramble on about this shit?”
Yeah… I get some interesting thoughts on my first playthroughs.
If I could just get my hands on that damn PC version.
Right now here are my predictions.
- Takes place after SH4. Either 1-2 years later or present day in 2008.
- Joshua is the product of Adam and Lilian trying to have a child to sacrifice for the god.
- Joshua may have been sacrificed to the god already by their father Adam.
- Adam kills Lilian.
- A possible wife or lover besides Lilian? (Lilith vs Eve?)
- Joshua and Alex relating to a possible Cain & Abel theme?
- The Judge is Laura grown up.
- Pyramid Head is probably here for Adam.
- Adam may be the real “antagonist” of the game. Perhaps a head member of The Order? Perhaps even trying to restore the Order to power after Walter offed all the previous leaders.
- The cop dies. ….what? Stop looking at me like that, I’ve seen Dawn of the Dead!
My last prediction is totally pulled out of my ass and most likely way off, but I have a feeling that at the end Alex is going to find out that he was dead all along, all Jacob’s Ladder and what not. I’m not sure how, but I won’t be surprised. But then again, everyone knows that ending’s a big fat cop out and /only/ worked in Jacob’s Ladder.
I also have a feeling that Elle and Alex are going to be something like Harry and Cybil. Little happens between them, and once it starts getting interesting, she either gets offed or the story goes back to beating Joshua’s mea…story.
I’m also getting a “Jealous brother, spoiled youngest child” thing too. I think Alex is going to have some kind of inner conflicts because he loves his brother but there’s jealousy too.
I’d like to see more about the James, Eddie, and Kauffman achievements. I wonder if there will be references to them similar to SH2’s references to Walter? That would be interesting as hell.
Ah.
Damn it, I want this game. If I called it on any of these points and you guys have played it already, don’t tell me, I gotta find this shit out for myself. I’m trying to go in with low expectations so DH doesn’t totally let me down.
