Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker.

Has this guy ever read Clive Barker?
Annoying, unlikeable characters and leather are EXPECTED and essential to the main themes/action of the story.
I cannot forgive such ignorance.

Hellweek15 - 2007-11-17 Unless there's a plotline involving killing cows, I fail to see how leather could ever be essential to any story.

Adramelech - 2007-11-17 I got the impression that Barker was responsible for pretty much the entire storyline, with development molding a plot progression leading the characters through it. I believe this is what he did with Undying too.
And don't lie, the best part of Jericho was clearly the fact that the last boss is a giant, floating infant.
|
a flaming monkey - 2007-11-18 Um...the only comeback I can think of right now is, 'eat me'.
I stand by my statement: Yahtzee should read/watch some Clive Barker stuff and then play the game again. It won't make it a better game, but it will increase a general cosmic understanding.
|
|
a flaming monkey - 2007-11-18 I said 'cosmic understanding'. My OPINION is that it is not a good evaluation then, since he compares it to a whole bunch of other games, without reference to Clive Barker's works of which it mirrors soundly. I value the game as a novelty piece of art. It has more imagination than many games out there.
|
IrishWhiskey - 2007-11-19 Ah, I see the problem now. You are confusing Jericho with some completely different game. Maybe Okami or Biohsock or something.
Because Jericho is one of the most derivate, knockoff, dime-a-dozen clones out there, and is a game judged on its merits as a game (or lack thereof), not anything with even the slightest hint of imagination or 'art'.
Glad we sorted that confusion out.
|
a flaming monkey - 2007-11-20 Nothing is sorted!!!! Except for the fact that you cannot possibly accept that some people may value the game on different grounds than you.
I challenge you all to a duel (boxing at dawn) just like my other misunderstood hero Uwe Boll!!!!!!!! Prepare to be tree-trunked.
Get in line. It's much better than waiting in the mile-long-suck-Yahtzee's-sarcastic-dick-line anyway.

4:00 is an excellent synopsis, but yeah, the game pretty much captures Clive Barker's over the top characterizations and labyrinthine "unknowable evil" plotlines dead on. Whether you enjoy it or not, it seems silly to slight something for accurately reflecting the source material.
Jericho is, however, boring, poorly designed and easy.
|
IrishWhiskey - 2007-11-17 Its silly if you are complaining about accuracy. Its perfectly reasonable if you are complaining about characters you want to strangle over and over.
Again, who cares if it was 'accurate' to make the characters idiotic cliched fuckwits who kept spouting the same few lines over and over. It doesn't make them any less annoying.

For once I'm glad that I'm not Yahtzee, because I only had to play about 20 minutes of Jericho instead of slogging through the whole useless thing.
