Oh, it is? RPGCodex fails to deliver once again then. My impression was totally different. I bow before the more cognisant one.:D

Mind you, I've never played the game, just what I've read in previews.

 

The catch 22 tho is that there is still a solider class (heavy weapons) and grendier iirc.

 

If it is truely a spy game, then what good are they?

 

I believe there will be a shoot em up route and a dialogue route. With the shoot em up route having the "crappier" ending.

Explain catch 22 to a poor northern barbarian.

 

I agree with rest of the post.

Catch 22:

A situation in which a desired outcome or solution is impossible to attain because of a set of inherently illogical rules or conditions:

E-dictionaries must love you, meta. Thanks.

It's taken from a Joseph Heller novel, which I recommend to you, if you have a spare day to read it.

 

[Musopticon?]

Hmm...I might if you really recommend it.

It'll certainly provide an in-depth understanding to Catch-22, as well as the completely surreal imbercility of the characters, methods and events in war.

 

Don't run out and buy it and stop eating until you finish or anything drastic, but it is certainly worth a look if you have a long trip to fill.

 

It's not as eye-openingly relevant as the nineteenth century historical fiction The Way We Live Now, but it certainly is worth a read.

It was one of the books that was on the list for ISU novels last year. I thought about reading it, but ended up reading something else. Sounded like a good book though. :cool:

It's primary fault is it is a bit too long, iirc. It tends to repeat itself a little too much (as a sympathetic writing device, too), so I thought it could have ended fifty pages or so earlier without loss.

 

Meh. Always good to read stuff for yourself and make your own mind up. I tend to have deep unconscious thought-streams whilst reading, too.

I generally like the classics, but never a fan of Catch 22
