| bluster said: It would be like the film world without Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch. Sad and empty. Seriously, as much as the other companies hav done in the videogaming story, it has always been Nintendo the one that paved the way for al major improvements during the last 25 years. Games wont be the same without the Big N |
I think you guys are overemphasizing the artistic quality of Nintendo games. I can't even remember the last time I played a first party Nintendo game with a story above a 3rd grade reading level.
If you want to say things like that about Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, and numerous others I agree, but Nintendo is more like Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay than Stanley Kubrick or David Lynch.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
