StaceyPowers Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 How do you feel about the gaming convention of the silent protagonist? Do you like the protagonist to be silent as a rule, never silent as a rule, or silent in some types of games but not others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I wouldn't like such either, I love my main game character to be expressing him or herself vividly in the game. Let my character gain the spotlight via dialogue and not just being on the shadows or fringes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Personally, I'm fine with whatever persona the protagonist has as long as they're well-written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I simply love my character or protagonist being captured many times by the camera, such is what drives me buying video games because more of the attention will be focused on my own player.

Head_Hunter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I love the game story mode to be centred around my pro player in the game. When I am.woth player career mode, I love it when the story deeply involved my player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Does it really matter the kind of personality the protagonist carries? As long as he or she was about to do what's supposed, I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughs, provided it's performing what it's been expected from em then their is no problem at all controlling your favourite protagonist in the game.

I'm an explosive extrovert personality and I also prefer my protagonist to be the same or even any other characters that I'm going to role play.

m76 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I think the only game where it worked because it was a novel idea was the original half-life. In half life 2 it was already detracting from the experience, not adding to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Personally, I think that the loud protagonist are a lot more fun than the silent quiet ones. Sometimes, the loud ones are very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yes, when the game is focused mainly on your pro then it brings tremendous gaming experience and not the one that is very much poor and bored due to quiet gameplay and lack of attention to your pro.

Do you think it's worth playing from your experience with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished Half-Life at least 10 times, and only played HL2 once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows it's almost an irresistible game and far more better than HL2 for you to play it twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's simply my first time hearing about Half-Life. With the comments I've heard from members, it seems that the video game is simply superfluous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
