Fucking Bastion. The bastard killed Nightcrawler. He got what was coming to him though a few issues later.
"Did you also get tired of the narrator after five minutes?"
Not even a little. I thought the Narrator was maybe the most charming design choice in the game, among many. Loved it.

I had no problem with the narrator. And the game is great.
I was disappointed, though, that it wasn't more open-world like Zelda. It was too linear and short for me. Felt like a missed opportunity somehow, to introduce all these neat weapons and play mechanics and not have a longer and bigger game within which to enjoy them for a while.
Also, very little replay value imo.

The Narrator?! No way, that was the interesting part! It was everything else I got tired of quickly.
Logan Cunningham did a fine job as the narrator from a voice acting standpoint - I really enjoyed the "Who Knows Where" arena segments which was static narration.
Personally I just didn't like the mechanic of menial dynamic narration within actual levels - I think it could have been a bit more interesting and maybe expanded a bit more in regards to the actual universe - like the arena bits.

Interesting point Chris. I enjoyed the narrator and felt that the minimal narration fit the minimal style of the world. Few words in a world with few living things left in it. Though I can see your point about expanding it, that could really enrich the entire experience.
I too would like to echo the love for Logan Cunningham. I thoroughly enjoyed Bastion and it was one of my Game of the Year candidates for 2011, so I must respectfully disagree with you, Mags. ;D
@ultor: that broke my heart. I mean I fucking loved nightcrawler. He's one my top 3 favs. Why I'd he the only one to stay dead? Fuck you Marvel, you're shit now imo anyway. Only thing I buy is the dark tower ones. Almost finished collecting those.
The narrator was the main reason I played the game in the first place. I can't even understand how one could like Bastion without liking the narrator. Without him, the game loses all of its substance.
Luckily though, Bastion had one of the most compelling narratives I'd seen in any game released in 2011 thanks to its glorious narrator and I implore you to check this game out if you haven't already.

I wish the demo went on a bit longer. Really wasn't sure if I would come to hate the narrator or not, and I wasn't completely sold on the rest of the game.

Yeah, Marvel is pretty much in a state of event overdosed decline. The only books I still read in trades are Uncanny X-Force and the occasional Deadpool, and even Deadpool is suffering from poor writing lately IMO.

I liked the narrator. I don't think it was quite as ground-breaking as they made it sound before Bastion was released. I did help eliminate walls of text though, and if you think back to the games that inspired Bastion, you were reading shit every two minutes!
@ultor: walked away from deadpool. Just, not him it feels like. Fucking wolverine got all disney-fied, but you have a point with xforce. That series had always been ranging from pretty badass to Omfg did that just happen ? *jizz. Imo anyway. I've missed out on the past few months though.
+1000pts for the X-Men references Chris.
Is the game really that short? I know its only an arcade thing, and that its a great game, but I was hoping due to the genre it'd be a little longer. Eh, still an awesome deal I'll get in on!

I really want this game, but I think I'll wait for the next Steam sell to buy it with the soundtrack.
