I'm glad to see someone else was affected by that scene as much as I was. I've never been so angry at a video game character before (at least, not because of part of the story). I wanted to destroy Paulie, the police chief, AND the damn Darkness tentacles for holding me back...Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965072604399121902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-1360734218129716812008-04-15T20:41:00.000-04:002008-04-15T20:41:00.000-04:00God, seeing as we're all professing our love.I've ...God, seeing as we're all professing our love.<BR/><BR/>I've completed The Darkness three times through.

It's not high art by any means, but it's an underrated game and Starbreeze truly took some care in crafting some cutscenes that utilized established visual storytelling techniques and a genuine eye for composition. Note that I'm hesitant to say that its cutscenes had sweeping cinematic qualities or what have you, because by most games' standards that means merely adding a couple of false letterbox bars and plopping characters onto the screen in the most artless fashion imaginable.<BR/><BR/>The <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOmSgLE9EQI" REL="nofollow">ending</A> stands out as a decent example.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339243336103077903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-21712891356936042972008-04-11T17:13:00.000-04:002008-04-11T17:13:00.000-04:00THIS is the Mechwarrior cutscene to end all cutsce...THIS is the Mechwarrior cutscene to end all cutscenes.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjUtOP1ZMuIKirk Battlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612840105075834275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-61672661180303888152008-04-11T17:10:00.000-04:002008-04-11T17:10:00.000-04:00http://youtube.com/watch?v=at9hxU864FgMaybe its ju...http://youtube.com/watch?v=at9hxU864Fg<BR/><BR/>Maybe its just because the first video was Mechwarrior 2, but I remember watching the MW2: Mercenaries intro again and again--partly because I loved the game, but it was hard and I was no good at it!<BR/><BR/>Looking back at it now, the dialogue and set up are pretty cliche and the voice overs are just plain bad. But I still like the dropship pilot's final line: "Look at the bright side, kid: You get to keep all the money."Alyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767879111945988182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-61178447522366115842008-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:002008-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afzhivak9AQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afzhivak9AQTylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278535699466229371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-44145636240514133372008-04-11T10:32:00.000-04:002008-04-11T10:32:00.000-04:00I will be Captain Obligatory and post the opera sc...I will be Captain Obligatory and post the opera scene:<BR/><BR/>http://youtube.com/watch?v=hgZXiHfNt0MReggie Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204237649585781446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074451.post-50645853888166360712008-04-11T10:04:00.000-04:002008-04-11T10:04:00.000-04:00Oh, I know that website!
