Okay Okay before you judge me I'd just like to first point out that I was indeed a huge fan of the Sufferings franchise. Regardless of what people say I think this game was really great. Sure, the enemies where sometimes ridiculous to kill and the models was poorly designed (In the first game) but that cannot erase the fact that overall, it was a fun game with a solid story that had loads of potential.
Two things I really liked about this game, the malefactors found in baltimore and most of the characters involved, like Blackmore and Dr killjoy. The malefactors/creatures had really cool names and designs, like the Gorger, the Arsenist and the slayer. See if this game was further expanded upon, it could have had a great following..much like deadspace, heck I would campaign to be president of its fanbase.
The protagonist, Torque, was also an interesting character in that he never said a single word throughout both games but rather thrilled me with his badass expressionless enigma. Imagine how epic he would be with much more fluid controls and some next gen graphics thrown on him? Too much. I always wake up with the hope that one day midway and surreal will suddenly decide to recreate the franchise with perhaps a different approach to the story and some major fixes to it. Also, it was one of the few games I played (at that time) that allowed you to pick between 3rd person and first person view - which I thought was pretty innovative considering it was a survival horror. Of course there would be much to fix, but once that's done, this might end up being one of the best franchises ever, and No I'm not joking, it was one of the best ps2 games I played. Like Top 50.
These are entirely my thoughts. Do you agree with me? Write your views in the comment section.
