Dude, I was a fan of Commander Keen too!Wow, I never thought i'd find anyone today who remembers the commander keen seriesOld games hardly had sounds. There was this old game "Commander Keen" he never said a word in the whole game, but it was one of the greatest old games. Then "Crusader No Regret" only gunblasts, no talking, this was another great game. Talking helps to get a more complex story line, but its not neccesary.
That kid had one gangsta pogo stick!Now-a-days the 'no-social skills hero' is used when the writer is ambiguous on the personality of the main character or wishes to focus on other parts of the game.Though both options can make a game shine under the right circumstances, personally I prefer chatty main characters. I like to know who i'm playing the role of in a game.
That's awesome. I didn't know if anyone else even knew about it.Anyway, I kinda like games in which the main character doesn't talk. It gives you more a feeling that YOU are PLAYING that character, rather than just moving him around and letting him do his own thing.
