>protagonist visibly gets more depressed as the series goes on

why I'm so fond of ass creed 2, the ezio trilogy overall too

>>387005585
probably my favorite thing about the Ezio Assassin's Creed games, if you forget that one part where Ezio looks like he's 20 until he gets knocked the fuck out and wakes up with a beard and 20 more years on his face

>>387005585

That doesn't happen very often. It should happen in more games. Dynasty Warriors would be nice to finally get some 'aged' looking characters as the game goes on.

The game spans almost a hundred years of history for crying out loud. As of 8 anyway

That's the only thing that fucked me up about HM: AWL the fact that your character gets progressively old, even at my young age I knew what would be coming at the end of the game. I really wish more games did that desu

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. Loved that game

not really a video game but still..

DW9 is apparently going to have a younger and an older version of liu bei (basically one with his moustache and one without). They've also done this with a recent SW game where Yukimura gets aged up (again, similar to liu bei).

Not jaded or hateful, but Batman clearly gets more ragged, filled with bullet holes and even grows a slight stuble during the Arkham Asylum game.

Though T2T toned down the edge.
Too bad the game was "just" good.
Didn't one boss even still have wireframes on the model?
