Singularity/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

** Renko travels back in time to destroy the original singularity reactor, but when he travels forward in time to the twisted alternate present, Demichev shows that he outmaneuvered both of them by taking a third option and simply rebuilding the damn thing afterwards. Considering that the Soviets used the powers of the reactor to win the Cold War the first time around, they almost certainly did the same there only with a slight delay if that (might cross over with a case of [[You Already Changed the Past]]). As such, it can be assumed that the USSR conquered the world once again, and thus had the US as one of its' colonies/subject states. When Demichev (the dictator and strong leadership holding the Soviet state together as well as one of the three people that knows what you can do with E99) and Barisov (the other of the three people asides from Renko that know about this and the alternative for leadership) die, the Soviet Empire fractures apart as various leaders emerge and try to seize power only to further splinter the USSR, and as such its' subject states largely see the same thing happen.

*** Right. When they say "former United States", they don't mean former as in "The United States fell to the released monsters," they mean, "What was the United States before the Soviet Union used the power of the Singularity to end the Cold War."

* Why didn't they prolong the survival horror aspect of the early parts of the game? I liked the game a hell of a lot more as a [[Nightmare Fuel|Nightmare]] [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|Fuel]]-ridden post apocalypic wasteland full of [[Apocalyptic Log|Apocalyptic Logs]] than I did as an action FPS where it turned to go [[Rambo]] and kill everything you run into? I much preferred it when it was a survival horror type of game where it was cling to the scant resources, track what the [[Hell Is That Noise]], and in general being very creepy. Then it got turned into a more typical type of [[First Person Shooter|FPS.]] I personally wish that you got stuck in an alternate timeline at the beginning and the only way to escape was to fight your way to the other side of the island to escape back to your world.

** ...and I personally wish I could do all the girls I fancy at Med School.

* Okay someone explain this to me because even the Wikipedia summary didn't explain it. Why is the fact that Renko and Devlin are both played by [[Nolan North]] important to the story?
