Nintendo Double Standard?

Okay, then how about this:

You have admitted that you have never played any of the three games you have linked to, so how can you be sure that the stories aren't what they are described to be?

Additionally, you can make any story sound stupid if you reduce it to a single sentence like in your Twilight Princess example. Add in "ZOMG" to increase the effect.

I am going to summarize your argument: You think that Nintendo games get a pass in the story department, while games of other companies don't get the same treatment. Your proof are reviews of games which you haven't even played.

So it's a pointless thread?

 It might be. I said in the topic this wasn't scientific, I was just going by feel. I simply asked if you guys also though this was true, or if Nintendo earned it via great gameplay.

I never played those 3 games, and for all I know shitty gameplay cost them 95% of the points they lost. That is absolutely correct.

 

*edit for sc94597* ok that is a lot more than I remembered, but it never drew me in; I was all about collecting things like hearts and weapons. You have to admit, the Zelda series has a ton of untapped potential in terms of story. What one Link does can end up as lore in another game, etc. The same for Metroid too, just doing the scans in Prime and learning about the Chozo, etc, I wanted to know so much more. Yeah, the focus may have been on atmosphere, but there was sooo much untapped potential in terms of story. Instead they just make you scan artifacts to piece together this narrative.
