Thread 11925065

I thought the ending would disclose a bit more on why Polterguy is stalking the Sardinis.
Polterguy starts to talk about it in one cut scene, mentioning himself skating, then abruptly ends the conversation to continue scaring.
I'm assuming the Sardinis hit him with their car while he was skateboarding, and offed him

They don't? I remember playing this years ago, though I never finished it. And I remember that exact scene you're talking about. He begins to explain why he is specifically going after this one family to haunt them, but then notices they are leaving and cuts himself off to chase after them. I always assumed that something gets revealed later down the line.

I know that story wasn't as important to most games back them, but it's weird that they would have written a cliffhanger like that and then never resolve it. Why bring it up at all then?

I thought the dad was a mobster, and Polterguy was some dude he whacked.

it's in the manual

Literacy will no longer be an essential life skill by the 22nd century.

>>11925293
Sounds like life beat you pretty hard already, slopboi

For computer games, reading the manual is typically essential, but for console games, so many of them can just be casually dropped into without it and you'll figure it out as you go without much trouble, so I'm not surprised that OP would just assume he didn't really need to for a Genesis game.

but if you regularly played console games back then, you knew answers could be found in the manuaul.

What did EA mean by this?

>>11926626
Talking bollocks you fucking idiot

>>11926626
Also chances are OP got a ROM, romsets usually don't come with a set of manuals as well, and most console games don't need one to play it. Do you think kids needed to read the manual to know how to play Super Mario Bros?

Even though I always did because I loved reading manuals

>What did EA mean by this?

Probably "Ha ha isn't that funny, he did all that work and got his life back only to be killed again as a result of the same people that got him killed last time. Here we go again!"

>>11925230
Sorry Polterguy, line must go up and if a few skaters get maimed and killed in the process, well, that's just the cost of doing business.

>>11925230
lots to unpack here

>>11928359
No I fucking didn't, you faggot, I never read the manuals for any of my NES games back in the 90s.

>Americans are illiterate
We know

>>11926626
Yeah you can play, but the story was usually on the manual until the psx.

>>11926626
Half the time rental games didn't even have a manual either. I remember some places would replace them with a generic insert with the basic controls some 3rd party company made. Most didn't even care enough to do that.

>>11929103
Not American either, you brain damaged obsessive. You don't need a manual to play Super Mario Bros. 3, Duck Hunt, Batman, or Gremlins 2.

Clever how they made his clothes black and white so they could use the Genesis’s shadow and highlight mode to simulate transparency
