10 Video Game Stories That Didn't Need To Happen
4. Shadow Complex
A game where you play a character voiced by Nolan North and fight against a seemingly endless wave of bad guys armed to the teeth as you try to stop their nefarious plot.
Where have I heard that before...
The story of Shadow Complex is one that escalates rather quickly. As Jason Fleming and his new girlfriend Claire decide to go backpacking in the Olympic mountains, they stumble upon an underground complex filled with soldiers who kidnap Claire. It’s up to you as Jason to free Claire and venture further into the complex to find out what is going on.
But for most of us, this would be enough for us to want to turn tail and run. And apparently, that’s an option the developers allow you to pursue. If instead of looking for Claire, you return to your car at the start of the game, Jason gets in his car, turns on the radio and drives off. He even justifies himself by saying there are "plenty of fish in the sea".
Looks like there’s no need to play a game about a guy trying to save the girl he loves, when you can just drive away and forget about your worries instead.
