Because Every Rose Has Its Video, Rosa's Vid Topic Options

Acadian: The whole scene with Dillion started out really nice. Sunshine, plants, flowers, back home in the Orkneys. Then it all turned to crap, starting with Dillion in the tree. This game is very mercurial like that, as Senua's memories and moods swing from one extreme to another.


Lopov: Senua's appearance is fixed, and I think in this case it has to be. Her face came from a mold they took of the voice actress' own face. Even her body is based on the VAs. Here she is talking about it. In most games I would not like that. But this is most definitely Senua's story, and no one else's. In most games I feel myself in the role of the protagonist. But in this I do not. It is her story, I am just along for the ride. Which is not a bad thing in this case, because Senua is quite insane.


The way is shut

Memories of better times

Home sweet home

But those dreams have turned to ash

Broken dreams

Up in flames

Shores and swords

Can Senua draw the sword from the tree?

But it's not a sword at all

It's an illusion

Even illusion is painful in this place between life and death

Horror

I can see where you could really get pulled into Senua's story. Her emotions really project through her facial expressions and I imagine her voice adds even much more. Seems like a cool game!

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Senua rarely speaks. I guess you could say the voices in her head do most of the talking. She also does not look into the camera when you pan it around to look at her. Usually you can only see her straight on during the cinematic cutscenes. It is like she does not want to be seen or noticed. When you learn more of her history you understand why. It really does pull you in to her story.

What a fascinating game and such great pictures to display it! Senua's face is amazingly expressive - able to capture what seems like a very wide range of emotions. And those big eyes help!

Thanks for sharing this neat game with us!

Yay, welcome back, Lovie! Are the red eyes new? That's quite a big gurl boxie gun she's totin'. Does it both kill and cook her prey? Ahh, nice oasis with plenty of healthy green fumes to ease her breathing.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: She had red eyes in the previous games. But this is the first game where I found glowing eyes for her. So now they really stand out above her mask.

I use a mod to prevent energy weapons from creating ash piles from corpses. So her rifle does indeed serve up a spicy hot meal.

Her pip girl shows she's a well-fed cannibal. . . but her rad bath shows that she somehow quite manages to maintain her girlish figure.

Lots of good eating


I took a break from Loviatar. I cannot play an evil character for too long, as it just gets too depressing. She was more fun in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. In those games I could see how many corpses I could eat and still have Very Good karma! Plus I loved Three Dog dissing her on the radio.

That first shot in the tunnel is magnificent in its ominousness! I'm thinking of that big square-barreled gun thing Lovie carries as her toaster oven for cooking up her dinner/foes. And nice to see her face while relaxing in that wonderful toxic air. Well, the messy eater surely has racked up the 'corpse eaten' count!

Welcome to Aurora! Woman in white – even a white toaster oven gun. Don’t matter who is in it, that power/tank armor is simply. . . not flattering.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Aurora never goes without a hot meal thanks to her microwave gun.



This is not going to work...

That's better

Somebody has a lot of gear to lug around! Clever to simply remove the overhead obstruction. I am struck by Aurora's shining incongruity to her grubby surroundings. Oh, she looks simply gorgeous in the new hat and glasses!

Fabulous shots of the woman behind the ice. I must agree now that her Nano suit (I think) blue armor looks great. Absolutely love her eyes! Does her big cryogun shoot cold blasts or ice cubes?

[SubRosa]

Acadian: Her blue suit (under the white armor pieces) is the Vault Suit. I was going to go with blue eyes for her at first. But the lavender looked more striking, and colder. I also went and changed her hair color slightly, to add a little bit of purple as well.


A not even slightly faint smile

Stop! Or I'll fill you full of these little teal balls of light!

[Acadian]

Oh, that’s right – the Nano suit was the Star Wars Imp Trooper one. Sorry. I’m so glad you went with the lavender eyes – much more exotic.

Aww, what a nice smile!

Wow, that is quite the ghillie suit that Leaf Boy is wearing!

Put that ice cube machine on full auto!

The ‘Killer Frost’ shot is a nice character study.

[SubRosa]

Acadian: I have been thinking about an ice-based character since I first started F4. Killer Frost has really turned out much better than I could have hoped.

I'm so glad the ice theme is working out well and seems to be supported by the game. I also think you were very right about your armor choice. Still love those lavender eyes. . . and there is nothing faint about her smile!
