8 Video Games You Had To Beat More Than Once To Understand

Sometimes the less you know the better.

That is most definitely the rather depressing message one gets from Square Enix's ever so strange clanger The Quiet Man, a title that took an exceptionally interesting premise, that of a protagonist who is unable to hear but leaves enemies ears ringing with his outstanding martial arts skills, and bungled it completely by utterly burying it's own plot and player interest along with it.

The idea was to see things from our protagonists perspective, meaning that we could hear as little as he can, yet because characters speak directly to them we are left to try lip reading and reading into gestures, in turn muddling through events with little clue as to what is going on. The backlash to this decision was enough that the devs released a patch allowing you to play through the game with unmuffled audio on New Game Plus mode, however this also received negative press!

And why was that?

Becuase the narrative, while being far easier to grasp was just utter boring old tosh that actually held less interest than before!
