Unless it also removes the bad radiation effects, it's consistent with the world they're making.

I was, of course, referring to some people crying over minor not even inconsistencies in a series.

Video games are serious business. Just ask Seymour the talking spore plant or Keeng Ra-at.

My point is that it's not ludicrous. It's entirely within the realm of possibility that people could convince themselves that they're vampires. If you think it's not possible you greatly underestimate the human ability to rationalize. It's not slapstick, and I only said they convinced themselves...

First that emoticon is awful and it makes your post seem insufferably smarmy. Second, I thought the reported playtime of the game was somewhere above 100 hours? The 50s aesthetic vision of the world makes everything seem quaint, and the radiation effects are definitely laughable. Just because...

Based on what metric? Sure 7 hours into a Silent Hill game is generally past the end, but what about something like Disgaea? One could not unreasonably argue that almost the whole of the story of the game is the beginning, based on how much there is to do.

Everything we've seen is from the beginning of the game. This is from the beginning of the game.

That's great. I'm talking about one specific instance with one specific game. It makes it more interesting to find new ways to play. The game is also great, if it weren't I wouldn't have bothered playing it as much as I did.

Yeah, I never would have bothered doing everything in Uncharted before the trophy system was implemented, but I'll be damned if I don't have the platinum trophy now. I do wonder if you can set the PS3 to not notify when you get a trophy... be right back

You know they couldn't do anything about that, right?

Same reason Fallout is silly (said lovingly). Escapism. That's a great idea. If they didn't make it, you should mod that in.

I guess I just don't see people giving in to their delusions as detracting from the atmosphere. It seems appropriate to me that they'd be more comfortable living a fantasy than living with the stark reality. What I'm saying is, the only thing I don't like about it is that it should happen...

[spoiler:77e51339ba]The part about there being people who think they're vampires? Because I know like three people who think variations of that in real life.[/spoiler:77e51339ba]

This is an old joke and it wasn't ever that funny.

You can't possibly be saying this on the same page as the guy who claimed that a drawing has no soul, can you?
