One of my favorite tropes in all of fiction is the character who's way smarter and deeper than their wisecracking goofball persona causes them to let on, especially if they're doing that intentionally.

Or, when you get separated from your allies and they assume you are dead but you catch up and save their ass later on.
Falling to a lower bridge level and kicking ass to get back topside in Homefront was fucking kino

>MC is largely defined by his status as an undeterred, stubborn normie who isn’t particularly special or outstanding but just won’t give up for any reason no matter what’s happening
The one time I liked Sebastian I’m TEW for example is when in the second game he tells the preacher he won’t stop coming until one of them is dead.
There’s something satisfying about playing as a person or even just being in the company of someone irl who will simply never give up and continue to slam their head into a wall until they either win or die.

of course it needs to be done right and should be even rarer than sudden nothingpersonnel moments, otherwise it will start to feel cheap
but I'm a hopeless optimist at heart so I always love it when that happens

That feeling when the pope of the medieval church told me I reached the Unclean One's country only to discover it was modern day Tokyo(actually, future Tokyo, since its in the year 2035 or something close to it) still hasnt been topped.

It's a feel, but the good kind of feel.

Dead Space 1 is a great game. I'm also triggered that the final part where you're transporting the Marker in DS1 basically flies against the canon of the series.
If you watch the animated movie, it's in the lore that the Marker produces a special energy field that de-animates Necromorph tissue. The Marker itself creates a "Dead Space" where Necromorphs can't exist.
Michael Murphy
The acting in this skit is really great

Not to be a dick but you only got surprised by that because you're a pleb. Like fucking literally in the first few minutes of the game you get sent to a burnt out post apocalyptic modern street/road.
SMTIV. He's a pleb who doesn't realize that SMT is always modern and somehow didn't notice that he already saw a ruined burnt out Tokyo street in the first 5 minutes of the game.
