Star Wars The Force Unleashed (2008)


When I saw this new jedi with a shaved head I thought to myself, "oh god that is ridiculous". Why is the main character a skinhead? Were the designers just being lazy?

Only when I was playing it did I realize the merit behind this. You're a god damn rogue Sith, you're supposed to be angry. There is nothing that carries that anger better than a young white skinhead brimming with hatred for "primitive species". There are no guns in the game because you don't need them. Not even grenades. Your turbulent adolescent emotions do the fighting for you.

You see, the battle is all in your mind. Your gameplay is at its most powerful when you let your hatred flow. You slay your enemies not because you're trying to get past them, but because they offend you. How dare they attack you with blaster rifles. How dare they assault you with droids. You feel this need to eradicate them all.

Rating: pointless but satisfying

So when you fly around in a jetpack naked except your boxers in San Andreas, what does that say about you.
