Against the grain: 3-rated games, bias and fanboyism should GO!

Like Super Mario Bros. 3 for example.

The story was quite good 16 years ago... you know, when I was 10 years old.

It's still good today. The perfect story for a video game.

No it isnt. You know it isnt

What he means is that games shouldn't have story at all, just a cause.

Why not? Why shouldnt a game have a good story? Whats wrong with that? Games with good stories>>>> Games with bad stories

Not sales wise.

Sales dont always equal quality

Quality is an opinion. The majority thinks Super Mario Bros 3 for instance is quality, while the minority thinks games like Heavy Rain or God of War are quality.

This. However, I've been busy today, and I like the way this thread has de-railed so dramatically.

*adds idea of stories in video games to future thread topics*

Also, sales-wise, games based on story are bound to be doomed somewhat more than their counterparts. Look at Avatar at the cinema. Did it do so well due to its story? No, it was because it was FUN. 

Now look at COD, Mario etc. They all sell well because they were FUN. That's easy to explain.

Then look at Heavy Rain/ Alan Wake. Not so hot are they?

The only example which bucks the trend is Layton...but everyone enjoys puzzling!
