Speaking of in-game descriptions, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 abounds with shoddy translation when you read through the various menu descriptions of characters and missions. The in-game description describes him as someone with traditional American values who believes firmly in the United States's role as world police. For instance, the game's protagonist, Jon North, is described as basically a video game version of American Sniper's Chris Kyle. It's often funny to see how foreign devs handle American soldiers and culture (and I'm sure the reverse is also very true). Where are limited resources best devoted? Perhaps this type of game should focus its time and budget on creating a limited, but high-quality experience rather than trying to ape sprawling open-world games like Far Cry or big-budget AAA military shooters like Call of Duty. So here we have the military mumbo-jumbo of a Call of Duty but without the star power we have the open-world sprawl of a Far Cry but without the interesting story and good writing.įorgettable dialogue and mediocre acting make the game's story feel almost superfluous. I'm all for more mid-tier games that are a little bit bigger and more robust than indie offerings, but not quite as big budget as your typical AAA fare. There's lots of these small details that make the game feel a little bit like a B-movie.
