| Metallicube said: I don't give a crap about storylines. If I want good storylines, I read books, watch movies (and maybe a few TV shows like Breaking Bad). I sure as hell don't look for them in video games, since most of them have horrible stories and writing anyway compared to movies. I play games to have fun, and to be in control. I'd rather create MY OWN stories when I play. Some backstory in the background of the game is ok, but I don't like having narratives forced upon me. Eh, I played Uncharted and wasn't too impressed. It was fun for a little bit but got pretty repetitive fast. The cover system seemed flawed and felt like a poor man's Gears of War, and I got painfully bored with the endless cutscenes they constantly threw at me. It was also a bit linear for my tastes. Besides the pointless collectables, you had little reason to divert from the provided path. Mass Effect I felt COULD have been awesome, but there was just WAY too much dialouge, even for an RPG. The controls were also very odd and complex on the 360. Seems like it would work far better on PC. I'm thinking of giving it another chance on PC with the keyboard and mouse set-up. Again, simply having a new franchise doesn't automatically make it good. In short, I'd much rather play yet another Mario game than some of this boring crap that constantly gets churned out for Sony and MS's consoles. There are a select few gems in there but the majority are just way too easy, linear, and formulaic for my tastes.. But hey, at least those games have stories as you say! That is after all, the most important aspect of a video game! Oh and also teh grafix |
Guess you have no choice but to create your own story when playing the same basic game that was played 25 years ago.
So Mario Galaxy is not liner in you mind, or Dk SMBu nope not liner rigth, buy hey as long as you tell your self its not and make up a story its all good. enjoy.
