Cheese// Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well,not EVERY video game ever.But lots of 'em.I can't think of a more dull, unpleasant place to be than a sewer.Except perhaps a completely grey room with no windows or doors.But that fact is I don't want to be walking around in a sewer in a game or in real life.I play video games to entertain myself, not to be transported to a place I'd never want to visit in reality.And don't try to mask the fact that it's a sewer by calling it an "Aqua-duct".I see through your lies.

lemmiwinks Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 lol. Are you like sewer-phobic or something? There are a lot of games that you never have to go into a sewer, but I guess it is pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 What game are you playing anyway?Hellgate London is in the same boat. While there is no sewer in Hellgate you are in the subway system for a long time. Every level is the same modeling, I finished the game and every act is the same thing over and over again. Its pathetic that Diablo 2 devs would claim this as their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's especially prevalent in RPGs- in fact I can't think of a single one off the top of my head without at least one long, boring sewer segment, and I can think of dozens off the top of my head. Okay, Chrono Trigger. But still. They aren't just dull and colourless- they're confusing. Having to find your way out of a maze is one thing- it can be challenging and fun. Having to find your way out of a maze when the walls and floors look identical is just garbage. This reply is brought to you by Citizens Against Sewer Levels In Games (CASLIG).

ghostofdavid Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I blame it all on two things. Ninja Turtles and the movie Chud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese// Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) I was playing Ninja Gaiden when I thought of it.Capcom is an especially bad offender.Onimusha 3's sewer section was murderI think it's just an excuse for devs to reuse sewer wall textures and laugh at gamers.

BrotherBuford Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 You're in the sewer for part of Silent Hill 3, but that makes perfect sense considering the feel the game is going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It probably has something to do with the fact that not many people have actually been in the sewer system, but they walk around every day and they are really right there. It gives the writers a lot of creative fredom.Its also not like there are too many options. Theres what : Theres really only 2 options too unless its a flying game. Ground and under ground. In cities thats all there really is, under ground. you often go into caves in video games as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through tunnels or inside large super weapons and such . But i will agree that game makers use sewers and subway tunnels quite a bit, as long as its not for half of the damn game then it does not bother me too much.

Bulldog_916 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Half Life 2! Ravenholm is bad, especially, and near the end when the walkers come out. But I love that game, it had my babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
