No, but you see, back in MIYAMOTO'S DAY you didn't NEED any gol-durn story! There was just a princess and some big monster and by gosh you needed to kill it! None-a this "interesting backstory" stuff you see in today's video games!

As a reminder, Miyamoto literally told them to ignore the story in Super Mario Galaxy 2 because he wanted it to be like old Mario games. That still bothers me.

Set in the then near future of an alternate history, the film is a portrait of Los Angeles, and a satiric commentary on the military–industrial complex and the infotainment industry. The film features an ensemble cast including Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, and Justin Timberlake. Original music for the film was provided by Moby.

The phoenix wright games are good in my opinion. Persona 4 is good too. I guess I must love anime.

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

MizPiz posted:

Sounds like people are just pissed that not every video game is a means to live out various power fantasies and be aggrandized for it.

not really but everyone who cares about the story in a game is using them to live out their fantasy of being smart

I see the story as a little carrot dangling in front of the gameplay, which is the donkey, cart and road. The donkey is also graphics.

Time works the same way.
