Когда я начал свои летсплеи с комментариями для бложика летом 2012-го, у меня к ним был совсем другой подход: я исходил из того, что все читающие, как и я, знают эти игры наизусть, и старался больше шутить о происходящем. За смехуёчками как-то затёрлось то, насколько невыносимо ТУПАЯ вся фф8.

Сегодня фф8 исполняется 21 год. В Америке она смогла бы купить себе алкоголь - может, после трех-четырех стаканов виски её прохождение не казалось бы настолько мучительным.

Одна из ключевых проблем сценария фф8 - повсеместное отсутствие логики в происходящем. У хорошего сценариста каждое событие имеет предпосылки и последствия, причинно-следственная связь не рушится, а персонажи делают те или иные вещи в соответствии со своими чертами характера и условиями, в которые они поставлены.

фф8 рушится к хуям уже НА ПЕРВОЙ РЕПЛИКЕ. Я убеждён, что это рекорд. Самая первая фраза, произнесённая в игре, уже полностью бессмысленна. Проблема только в том, что понять это можно, лишь пройдя игру как минимум наполовину.

Давайте я объясню.
-Эллон должна находиться под защитой белых сидов на тайном корабле. Она почему-то появляется в Гардене, и этому нет никакого объяснения. Белых сидов рядом с ней нет.
-Эллон видит своего братика Скволла впервые за долгие годы. Вместо того, чтобы его, например, обнять и расспросить о жизни, она через стекло кудахчет "ебать мы увиделись" и УХОДИТ.
-Эллон буквально на следующий же день начнёт ебать Скволлу мозг воспоминаниями из жизни Лагуны. Она могла бы сейчас хотя бы предупредить его об этом, объяснить свой план. Ей ничего не мешало поговорить с центральным персонажем её же кейкаку, но нет.

Это первый пример из очень многих.

Ифрит словно из другой игры вообще. Такая пещера с таким боссом была бы уместна в условной фф5. Там герои шароёбятся по всему миру, находят данж, влезают, видят огненного духа, призывают против него Шиву, он такой - "Ух ты бля, у вас Шива есть, неплохо, смертные!"

Но в фф8 Шиву герой высасывает из своей парты. А пещера - это пришкольный участок, куда детишки бегают регулярно на треньку. Ифрит там что, респаунится? И каждый раз удивляется силе людей?

Ифрит ведь - не просто монстр какой. Это NPC с репликами. И это вступает в прямое противоречие с обстоятельствами, которые к нему подводят.

Lack of PPE cited as reason for mass infections – with suspicions deaths are not recorded

• Coronavirus – latest updates
• See all our coronavirus coverage

For weeks, paramedic Dmitry Seryogin had warned about the lack of coronavirus testing and inadequate protective gear that he and his colleagues were given in the city of Oryol, about a four-hour drive south of Moscow. If a patient did not explicitly warn they had coronavirus, he said, teams handled likely infections in simple masks and gloves.

Then, the inevitable happened. Two of his colleagues fell ill with coronavirus, then five more, and now, Seryogin says, more than a dozen have contracted the virus. The regional governor has confirmed an outbreak at a medical station, saying staff had been quarantined and he had “set the goal of providing everyone with PPE. No matter where they are going, what kind of call”.

Borders are becoming more porous to everything from drugs to infectious diseases to cyber terrorism, and the United States must use its soft power of attraction to develop networks and institutions that address these new threats.
