I finished the game up yesterday, and the pacing of the plot and the conclusion was, once again, pretty bad.
Spoilers! |
I found that some aspects of Travis's past were interesting, but they took up too much of game and plot, and kind of pushed asside the story behind the town and previously established characters. I might have not looked hard enough at some details, but a look of things went left unexplained or elaborated on, and it just ended up presenting more questions (and not in a good way). All we really learned is that Travis's mother went insane and his father killed himself after years of grief, Lisa was hooked on White Claudia (which fans already knew) and was banging Dr Kaufman for it, and that Dr Kaufman was directly involved with the ritual to give birth to "God". What isn't explained is how Lisa died and how the memory of her ended up in the alternate hospital, and a coherent explaination of how Allessa's soul was split into two bodies (Travis just ends up driving away in his truck, not really bothering to figure out what happened to her). Also, it doesn't really explain what the deal was with the Butcher, who was basically a Pyramid Head knockoff (my best guess, though, is that it is some creation of Travis's mind, that is out to punish Travis, like PH |
