@Griffin:

Are you some sort of mindless, senseless living object?? I just cannot BELIEVE you don't like the Zelda and Mario games, they represent what videogaming is, in its greatest glory!

What do you like then? I suppose staring at a blank wall for 30 minutes is your idea of fun...

They represent gaming TO YOU. After getting massively addicted to rpgs like Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 6. I took a look at the stories in Nintendo games and accidentally let out a strange laugh. I can't take them seriously anymore, I find myself stuck on story driven games and I find it a much more fulfilling experience. I basically take it like this, Nintendo offers a great gameplay experience at the cost of character build, and storyline. Now if I play a 3rd party game, that offeres me a great gameplay experience of the same genre, AND offers me a compelling storyline, I'm sold :P I find no reason to take the (in my opinion) lesser of the two quality games.

... go read a book.

 Are videogames not a form of expression through interactive media o.O? Why should I play a game I feel offers me less than something the competition offers. 

Keep an open mind please.
