AYRT, I get that, but I also said that I had no trouble making a connection with Shaundi (or Pierce, for that matter) in the third game even though I didn't play the previous two. My point being, they could have done the same thing with Gat and King in the fourth game, but this one lacked so much substance compared to the previous game. It was mostly just shout outs to the past games, which, I understand, was the point. I was just saying that, by going that route, I wasn't exactly endeared to either of the characters.

But, seriously, if you're going to grind it in my face about how awesome Johnny Gat is, the least you can do is make him do something awesome in the SAME game and not tell me to go back and see why. The hype was getting Gat back would send all these aliens shitting their pants and what does he do when he gets back? Get in trouble driving a virtual helicopter and making Shaundi and the boss hurry over to babysit him. BADASS.

I've played all the games and I was pretty annoyed with the Gat hero worship as well. It's basically just the loudest portion of the player base put into the game. Johnny is kinda a shit and people that complain about Boss being less psychopathic from 2 to 3 makes me think that Johnny was a bad influence on the Boss. If that was intentional that's kinda neat.


I think because I've been into comics for a while I've gotten really tired of the revolving death door trope and just wanted him to stay dead. And Lin and Carlos. For the love of God fandom shut up about resurrecting everyone. (Except Aisha because no one cares about her amirite?)

Maybe I'm just bitter because my fave died and if it's anything like 90% of my other fave's deaths they're not coming back.

I found that the people complaining about the boss being less of a psychopath are the same people who go out of their way to say SR:TT and SRIV suck and that real fans should go back and play 2 because it's the greatest thing ever. You know, like Johnny.

From what little I saw of Aisha in the game and her wiki, I liked her. And, ugh, tell me about it. Viola was my favorite and she would have meshed so well with this president gig. But, no, let's kill her offscreen. Bah.

It's funny because I always found that the "death" of Johnny in the 3rd game really played with the over all theme of it: selling out. The death of Johnny was the death of the old franchise and its tone.

They went from a pretty grim series when you looked at the story and then went with more of the outlandish, which was something heavily introduced in 2 that everyone liked.

Also, I found the boss became more of a psychopath. Just more corperate than street thug.
