Hey so random question, does anyone else think that Raz from Psychonauts is a Mary Sue?  I disliked him as a character, because everything revolved around him, he had no character flaws, and was just so damn good at learning psychinc stuff.  I know that it defeats the purpose of the game if he doesn't master every psychic power instantly, but from a narrative perspective look what we've got, he breaks into this top secret training camp full of children hand-picked for their innate psychic abilities who have probably been honing them since birth, and then Mr. "I came here for a lark" is running circles around them all in a matter of days.


/rant.  ALso don't give me any crap about how the proper term is "Gary Stu."  "Mary Sue" is unisex, not everything in the English language has to be centered around men.

True that. Next to that, there also are other people here that also have people, me being nice example for this.


Also, the PS3 rival of Forza is Gran Turismo... Not Motorstorm.

I guess Uncharted might be fun for you too, even if it is formulaic.

Most video game protagonists are Mary Sues. It's hard not to be, when you're the player character and  the game sort of necessarily revolves around you. In Fallout 3, for instance, every problem in the Wasteland is resolved as soon as your character walks on to the scene, same with Skyrim or just about any other RPG. In Halo, Master Chief is the only one who can fight the Covenant for more than 5 minutes without getting slaughtered.  There's a few notable exceptions, sure. Kratos has real flaws, and manages to not seem ridiculously powerful in the face of what he's up against, but by and large, video game protagonists are Mary Sues because they're just a self-insert for the player.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

I`m not buying it for GBC games ;) Yeah I bought an used NDS (the first version that was on the marked) years ago from a friend. now that there are more interesting games out, especally for the NDS3D I thought about buying one.

The XL has a bigger screen, I don't know why you'd choose to deprive yourself of that.  Also they've just made a second analog sitck peripheral that's compatible only with the XL
