Syberia/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Anvilicious]]: The first game's plot seems like an attack on American culture. Kate's boss and boyfriend are absolute [[Jerkass]] characters who could not care the slightest about the amazing wonders she finds or the fact she's only been gone a couple of days at most. Instead, Kate discovers amazing wonders and broadens her horizons while giving up her materialist ways. So, [[Tropes Are Not Bad]].

* [[Designated Villain]]: Kate's boss is consistently trying to talk her out of pursuing Hans Voralberg and in the second game's cutscenes he's always portrayed as a silhouette in the dark, stuck behind his mean bossy desk. And while he is supposed to be the representation of the consumerist culture Kate's trying to escape from, it's hard to blame him for trying to get her back to New York: not only is she the best lawyer he's got on his crew, but also her family is constantly pestering him about her whereabouts (also, while it's never explicitly mentioned, it's clear that should Kate be pronounced missing it's him who'd be held responsible) and the arguments he brings up when he talks to her on the phone (such as her leaving behind her life and ''friends'') all seem pretty legit. For all we know, he might just be genuinely worried about her.

* [[Porting Disaster]]: The Nintendo DS version, which stripped out almost all the audio and turned the game into a particularly frustrating [[Pixel Hunt]].

** On the other hand, the cell phone version won PC Gamer's "Oh my God it works" award.
