You either hate them or you love them.

Games execute cutscenes differently.

Through the course of development, sometimes a game’s design changes drastically.

Cuts get made, and sometimes those cuts are cutscenes.

These eliminations are meant to smooth the flow of the game, or at least they usually are.

20Beyond Too Much?

However, she endures some horrendous situations that occur regardless of Aiden’s presence.

One of these situations occurs at a bar she’s visiting past her curfew.

Men assault her, but fortunately, Aiden swoops in to defend her by paranormal means.

So maybe it was all for the best.

(For creepy games that were intended for children, check out thisunbelievable list).

As we all remember, our trip to the Baker household was less than pleasant.

Each member of the family was vomit-inducing in their own special way.

Our first introduction to the Baker estate is given to us, however, by our beloved wife Mia.

We don’t think that’s just a flesh wound.

The game is well-known for having multiple endings that player choice can affect.

The reason that Ethan’s son is kidnapped in the first place is that Ethan suffers from blackouts.

He will recover himself miles from where he was with an origami figure held in his hand.

Unless he reallyisthe killer all along!

The United States was still recovering from the shock and horror that those attacks instilled.

Removing those scenes was a respectful nod to the tragedy that many in New York suffered on that day.

15Gears Of Stealth?

In theGears of Warseries, cutscenes sometimes provide a choice for the player to make.

Will you fight on the ramparts or will you fight on the ground?

Will you take the left path or will you take the right path?

InGears of War 2, one of these cutscenes was removed, but later included as added downloadable content.

When we got our hands on this DLC, we all thought, “Great!

The Road to Ruin DLC was not the kind ofGearsexperience we were expecting though.

Going in with guns blazing is the regularGearsway, so we tried out the stealth option in eager curiosity.

Stealth inGears of Waris just walking.

Dom and Marcus play Theron dress-up and just walk through the level.

We’d say the developers made a good decision in deleting this choice.

14How Do You Kill A Problem Like Maria?

With the Holy Glasses, Alucard can see Shaft’s curse on Richter and then save him.

If Alucard doesn’t save Richter, these clips indicate that Maria would have tried to save Richter herself.

This leads to her getting possessed by Shaft.

Alucard would then have to fight her and possibly kill her.

Whether developers will return to this lost story in the future or not, only time will tell.

It would make a Shyamalan-esque twist though.

Of course, Batman wasn’t always the brooding Dark Knight that we have become used to seeing.

How can a Batman game not take advantage of such rich source material?

Now if only that had been included.

11A Lot Of Game For A Little Solace

Alien: Isolationis a long game.

A very long game.

Especially when compared to other triple-A horror titles,Alien: Isolationstands out as a time-heavy game.

But holy cow, we can’t imagine how much longer they could have made this game.
