Re: I actually partially agree with you.

In Response To: Re: I actually partially agree with you. (Dark One)

: Well there might be a good reason for that. The longest story is less than 50
: pages long.

The title "Graphic Novel" in this case is misleading. I don't know what a graphic novel normally is, but if it's a collection of small stories rather than a single large one, it's not a novel.

: What is it with people and everything having to be like what it's based off?
: The graphic novel has to be the game? No wonder you didn't enjoy it. You
: apparently want the enjoyment of playing a 10-hour game with a 100 page
: graphic novel divided into four seperate stories.

Well, the entire point of a graphic novel is to convey visually the story. When the visuals don't match up with other things that are supposed to be in the same universe, it's confusing.

: Actually, I'm saying that because they are whole stories. What, you never
: heard of short stories?

Short stories generally have endings. The story that took place in New Mombasa didn't.

Short stories generally have points, or some kind of new information. Until the frame-by-frame, pixel-by-pixel crowd lays into "Breaking Quarantine", I'll say that that one had neither. It was like watching a replay of the last half of 343 Guilty Spark with a different protagonist.
