Nope. I used to think they were the future of videogames - all games would have to be like movies.

How wrong I was...

[most] Games needs objectives, not stories. They're giving complex stories to every single game. Except Nintendo, of course. You can make 3000 mario games beating bowser and make all them fun. Try to make 10 games with God Of War for example... Kratos will have to kill Jesus in the 4th game, Buda in the 5th and Alah in the 6th... them in the 7th he'll have to kill Tom Cruise and L. Ron Hubbard! I fear that's the future of the metroid fanchise. At some point (sometimes in the same story/game) it all becomes ridiculous.

But ridiculous but touching stories like Earthbound/Mother and Mario and Luigi or Paper Mario are cool, because in the end there's little to no history, just cool moments and cool characters - and most importantly, lots of gameplay.

Point is, at some point it'll become ridiculous.
