About stories in games. If the story sucks and they beat you over the head with it, that's annoying. If they story sucks but it takes up little to no screen time, no problem. (assuming the actual game is fun to play)

Like Tony Hawk American Wasteland, which had plenty of terrible cut scenes that kept shoe horning me into stupid challenges. It was annoying as hell and just kept pulling me away from actually trying to skate. In skate. there’s almost no story to speak of, which is good. I can just freaking skate, it’s a damn sports game, I don’t want a story.

This is one the reason’s I didn’t like Super Mario Sunshine. Tried too hard to have a story with crummy plot twists and bad cutscenes. In Super Mario 64, they give you the whole story when you start. Bowser took over the castle and has the princess, get cracking. All the motivation I need to play a Mario game.
