And why even compare an adventure game to Oblivion?
It's not a comparison to form a argument. It's way of saying that it's "shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, very fuckin' bad & shit" without overusing the word shit
It's one of the few good adventure games to come out in a long time.
You just don't know others, you've no interest, right?

Eh, Fahrenheit is not bad. The first half is great, with all the mindfuck going on, and while the second half is one giant QTE
You know you are talking about the adventure game that thought that instead of the actual gameplay and puzzles it would be better to have quick time evens. God, I love this so much - press green button, press blue one, press yellow, green button, green again, yellow... ohh so fantastic and stimulating. It's so hard not to feel engrossed.
Shit gameplay. It would be better without it.
The game clearly must be intended as being as close to film as possible. Looking like film, playing like film, but not being a film so there wouldn't be actual competition to face. David Cage is wannabe film maker who is just too big inbreed to make film that would be somewhat noticeable.
And what is even funnier is that the only thing that could somehow save this shit from abyss (at least for some), the story is one of the worst I've ever seen. Given that games are generally very bad at this kind of stuff you could think It wouldn't be hard to make something good in comparison, but no, Indigo Prophecy fails. Or at least decent, as much shit as other video game shit, but no IP fails. Story is utter fail. Incohesive, juvenile power fantasy without any direction or prevailing theme, that just keeps on adding more and more stupid, redundant shit to it. With every minute is getting dumber and dumber, by 2nd part the only thing you will wonder about is who could be that stupid to though out all this crap, or why he allowed his six years old kid to write it for him.
Let me give you, untainted ones, a taste of storyline: some factions fights for world control, government, some magical folks who just awaken called purple faction (for reelz) and aliens or robots, can't tell, same shit called orange faction. Main guy is son of gov employed fuck who works in secret military camp devoted to study aliens, as a kid he went over the fence and touched shitty magical crap, becoming superman able to rise from the grave (ohh wait maybe was resurrected by aliens, can't tell) and make jedi tricks like force jump over 10m or kick ass in matrix fashion with proper slow motion and whats not (yes, it's still adventure game we are talking about), but of course he don't remember all of this because eeee, well because. One day, he kills a guy in restroom in bar, but don't know why. It's ritual murder made by his hand but being mind controlled by aztec. Yes aztecs are in the game and make no sense just like the rest of this shit, i think they want to bring back magical folks from slumber, so that's why they do ritual murders and they needs others to perform it because eeee, because there wouldn't be a story otherwise, duh! But, let's continue - stupid shit follows, there is investigation blah blah blah police finds out he killed. He discover his powah when police is going to catch him, escapes. Aztecs want to kill him now too. Stupid shit follows. More stupid shit follows. Even more stupid shit follows. Even more stupid stupid shit follows. And so on, and so on. Like for example: there is secret organisation independent of gov with specialise in surveillance and they are the best informed folks on earth - they workd under cover being bums, and they are... homeless, see it is brilliant, bums don't need money to live! so they can be independent, and nobody take notice of bums in the streets so they could gather info everywhere! there is like whole 7 of them. For some reason world is getting colder, it's start as worst winter ever to end as -100 degree catastrophe, frozen land where life ceases to exist, except it doesn't because as we established writer is to fuckin' dumb to know. What's next? Ohhh did I tell you that main guy and then come back to kick some ass? Or did I tell you about the little girl from the ring with is probably the most retarded kid ever (luckily she's barely moving, so she cant do serious damage or jump in the front of the car) heh you can blame her for being stupid, because she's in fact a piece of rock, if you were a piece of rock you would be retarded too, wouldn't you, huh? She's the very rock main guy touched when he was a kid, yeah. And this rock is a key to world domination yada yada yada. Fuck, I hate this shit. I sure as fuck still remember way to much of it...
Shit, I've forgotten with what I was going to follow it up... fuck fuck fuck oohhh i remember! The whole thing have some dumb shit made up to excuse what happened in the beginning of the story. You may think that the start was nice but It's unfair to look at this that way - you're giving a benefit of doubt to every story that start, if doubt is unwarranted (as is the case) then benefit doesn't prevail, beginning was shit, it in best case scenario did a splendid job at introducing you to shit, hardly something that I would appreciate (I'd hated it in fact just for that, coincidance!). Let me give you a example: let say that somebody gave you a present. It's in the box wrapped in paper and tied with ribbon, it might be all tarnished, the dullest and the ugliest wrapping ever but still you want to know what's inside so you'll open it either way. And when ribbon is out, paper on the ground and you've opened the box what you see inside is huge bovine crap. What's then, would you tell that 1st part of the present was great? If the wrapping was all beautiful and properly appealing would you thought better of the present, and admitted that the present composed of huge bovine crap is not shit at all? Of course, the example won't fit anything but I think It fits stories perfectly, and while games are no all about stories as I said before IP's gameplay is qte crap, I don't think there is duller gameplay imaginable.
Therefore my points stands, and you're wrong - but fear not, I'm here to guide you in this dark land, just listen to mine opinions and accept them unconditionally as your very own! Everything would be just fine.
it has the best scene EVAR in video gaming: a blind old woman on a wheelchair turning into raging rogue internet.
So, you are one of those folks who claims that something is so bad it's good, right? Well, your choice. Different people, different preferences. But let me ask you for one thing: please, do, kindly, go fuck yourself.
