I heard that the reason they cut Dana out of the game was because they couldn't get Sigourney Weaver to agree to voice the character. Basically this is the same sort of crap that happened right before Phantom Menace came out, remember? The fanboys built it up and built it up and built it up into THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!...And it ended up being nothing like what they expected (probably because it contradicted a lot of the books and comics that were written in the nineties. And Jar Jar Binks was in it). I really, REALLY do hope this game will be good though. As for those guys who are dissing you elsewheres... Screw 'em. Screw 'em all. GBWC still loves ya man! Oh and don't worry about FF.net dude. I've been watching the Ghostbusters section over there since I tried posting my GBWC stories. I just don't think it gets much traffic. Or it's just full of fanboys. I don't get many reviews either and I write for a bunch of different categories.

...And it ended up being nothing like what they expected (probably because it contradicted a lot of the books and comics that were written in the nineties. And Jar Jar Binks was in it). See? This is actually one of the sources of anguish for me. I feel like I'm turning into one of the GB equivalents of the Prequel Haters. I know one of them in real life who sneered about "These movies would have been so much cooler if they put the REAL Sith in them." ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif) I can't stand that shit, especially as, dammit, I liked the Prequels. Among other things, they gave being a Jedi a downside (I think that's where a lot of the hate comes from, as Lucas makes it harder to justify things like Luke going off and having babies with some Mary Sue.) I hate feeling like I'm turning into someone like that. I feel trapped between my principles and doing things the way I like doing them and am used to doing them.

You are no prequel hater. Or sequel hater in this case. A lot of the stuff you've said makes sense. The fanboys just don't want to hear it.

This bothers me more and more lately. I have started having nightmares about it. I just hope that the script isn't stupid, but I am worried that it will be. Especially considering that most mainstream comedies these days are remarkeably stupid these days, nothings like the comedy in GB1. I can just picture 8 hours of game play and lewd/fart jokes. That will kill my spirit.
Also, I will be really be annoyed if it, like most gmes, has the guys saying the same three lines throughout the whole game. That would kill the game for me.
I really would like nothing more than to not think about it, but it keeps creeping in. And I didn't even mention my concern over character relations (you guys know what I'm talking about).

Well, yeah, but he's working with Ramis, who came up with the single worst idea introduced in GB2. These are the two that couldn't come up with any better idea for a movie sequel than a plot-point-by-plot-point retreat of the first movie.
I'm fearful of this game turning out like this: a bunch of recycled shit to pander to the fans ("Let's throw the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, the Scoleri Brothers, Vigo, and 'Evil' Slimer into it!!!") and whatever new ideas turning out to be stupid ("This is the fifth Ghostbuster, Marty Stu Gladstone! He uses an electron gun that freezes ghosts on the spot!!!")
Do I hope I'm wrong in those fears? Yeah. But I really haven't seen much to get excited about yet, either.

If the game's storyline gets integrated into the omnibus timeline, how are you going to explain the character the player controls, as well as his absence from all other media, like Extreme Ghostbusters? All I can think of is this: let the Mary Sues begin. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

It sounds more and more that the "new love interest" is Venkman's which adds another brick in the "Lame Retread" wall. I mean, forget what we did with him and Dana for a minute: after two movies where Venkman's love interest is at the center of the plot, for our new video game we get...Venkman's love interest apparently at the center of the plot. Yeah. Way to make everyone forget all those "GB2 is too derivative of GB1" comments right there. Granted, this isn't the worst possible outcome (that would be Egon, of course) but it's definitely the second worst. With Ray and Winston with negigible canon love interests (even including RGB), and a Marty Stu being a completely clean slate character-wise, this is the best they could come up with? ![Puke! :hurl:](./images/smilies/puke.gif)

Gah... http://protoncharging.com/gb/2008/05/09 ... -ecto-h20/Quote: - Confirmation that Gozer is in the game, but not in nimble little minx form (but rather, perhaps, original Paul Rubens style.) It's official. With nearly twenty fucking years to ruminate on their mistakes and come up with a new idea...all the "big boys" can do is regurgitate all their old ones. At least the "Hellbent" concept wouldn't have as easily lent itself to more rehashing of old plots. Oh, and in case you wondered, here's Marty Stu. WTF is up with this?My crap sense is tingling something fierce. I keep hoping I'll see something that will make me think this game ain't gonna suck with teeth, but so far that hasn't happened. The neat Ghostbusters Boat Concept Art is just not gonna be enough.

At least the "Hellbent" concept wouldn't have as easily lent itself to more rehashing of old plots. It's also a confirmed fact that while Gozer makes an appearance, it is NOT the main villain. Gozer is a piece of a larger puzzle. Quote: Oh, and in case you wondered, here's Marty Stu. If Sierra is making good on the "5th ghostbuster is you" that they are currently advertising in Sierra's newsletter, he'll be customizable. They've had, like, 3 placeholder models for the character, and this one is the most generic so far. Quote: WTF is up with this?My crap sense is tingling something fierce. It's the programming test location for all of the Infernal engine physics. They used the firehouse to simulate hundreds of people onscreen at once. What's "crappy" about it? That's just an honest question out of curiosity. Quote: I keep hoping I'll see something that will make me think this game ain't gonna suck with teeth, but so far that hasn't happened. The neat Ghostbusters Boat Concept Art is just not gonna be enough. Ah, well. I guess everyone can't be pleased. I'm excited as hell. I know my opinion isn't shared, and I'm waiting for everyone here to point their fingers at me and say things like "St. Dan and St. Harold fanboy!!!" or "It's just a videogame!" or "You're just a fanboy who'll accept any crap they spew!"
