Caltrops - Gamerasutra





	[quote name="Berlioz"][quote name="FABIO"]Although, I did enjoy it a hell of a lot more when I was wondering "what is this castle?", "why was this chick caged up and who is she?", and "why do these shadow things want her so badly?" and I was happy to be wondering all this I explored what is still to this day some of the most gorgeous scenery ever in a videogame, hoping to unravel everything. Then I read the freaking MANUAL and it spoiled everything. That was the last time I've read a manual to any game with any sort of plot, and I remained stumped why in each and every incarnation of Silent Hill they insist of making the intro to be a montage of massive spoilers.[/quote] ...and other less subtle reach arounds. The entire game is simply plotted out in the manual. WHY? I can only assume it involved tongues being clucked and a marketing troll asking, "Well what if they don't <i>get</i> <b>it</b>?" To which the synopsis of the ENTIRE FUCKING game was included, without preamble, in the manual. [/quote]
