i think u could continue a game with whatever, u dont need to have the same character in all of them, as long as the game play is good and pretty much the same thing and it doesnt stray from the true concept of the game
My opinion: Thing Thing 1 = A classic Thing Thing 2 = Kinda rubbish Thing Thing 3 = Good, but not as good as the first Thing Thing 4 = Great, brings back alot of the things that were good about the first
So if you ask me, a Thing Thing 5 should be like the first and the fourth.
maybe there WILL be a Thing Thing 5, and there are some things that I've been thinking about the reason 1. how can 154 listen to the others while he is DEAD? if we die before that, we don't listen anything coming from anybody and the game just comes back to the menu. 2. as somebody else said, maybe they turned the anti-healing gas off after they THOUGHT that 154 was dead. He is smarter than any other character in the game that I saw, at least in my oppinion, and he is probably smart enough to just lay down and pretend to be dead while there is a guy miles away thinking that he was indeed killed... maybe it is for him to be brought to the leader/whatever of the Systems Corp. and then he 'awakes' and kills him? 3. maybe, he is indeed dead, but, as he says by himself at the beggining of the game "my genes are too important", so maybe they'll not be able to make a perfect 155, and will use his genes, and he'll be born as 155 ready to have his vengeance upon the leader. 4. The way the game ends is kinda vague, it makes it possible for lots of things to happen, there is, in example, a room with people that were brought back from death, maybe somebody, willing to help him for some reason, puts him there and brings him back to life? 5. He could have been brought to some kind of power off thingymabob, and can be brought back on when he's brought to the place where the leader is.
Wow Thing Thing 5 This should be the part where the guy meets new bosses n all + the guy should hav better clothes of choice n weapons needs upgrades .
