As promised, the demo for Prey is now available, offering a sample of Human
Head's imminent first-person shooter. Word is: "Defy the law of nature with
gravity flipping, a feature that allows you to walk on ceilings and turns
deathmatch mode upside-down. Explore unreachable areas with wall walking, and
transport from one sphere to another through space-bending portals. With all
these unique gameplay elements, you don't want to miss this highly anticipated
FPS demo!" The demo premiered on
GameSpot
(registration required), and is mirrored on
3D Gamers,
Computer Games,
Filecloud,
FileNuts,
FileShack,
Fragland.net,
Gameguru Mania,
Gamer's Hell,
Gameworld Network,
GameZ,
PreyFiles.com,

You can disagree all you want but that is how I feel about it.
Do your feelings go towards all speech by the main character though, or just the one liners that get strewn about?
For example, in the Prey Demo, the first "escaped" human prisoner you run into, Tommy says, "Hey man, you alright? Shit, guess not!" I'm assuming you don't like that.
But what of the parts where he's talking to Jen while she's being trundled away farther into the ship? Or when he's talking to his grandfather just before he gets brutally murdered by that machine.
Do you not like that too? I would argue that the second one adds a TON of immersement in the game, and without it your plight of saving the girl would feel much less urgent and realistic.
This is my main beef with HL2. I don't mind that Gordon doesn't crack wise-ass remarks when he wastes a zombie, but when people are ACTIVELY TALKING TO HIM, it just feels fucking stupid for him to be silent.
As for the defense that "by having him talk, you feel more forced into a predefined role," or however it was described, could you possibly feel MORE confined in HL2 than you already are? During the entire game, you're nothing more than Alyx's lapdog. Gordon go here. Gordon go there. Gordon, do this. Gordon, do that.
I much prefer at least the second part of immersement over none at all.
And who can forget the Duke's immortal opening line, "Damn! Those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!"
To me it adds to games, but, ofcourse, to each his own.
