Why is that sad? Do you think every game should be mindless brain rotting entertainment? o you think there should not exist documentary movie, historical films? Psychological films? If not, then why houln;t there exist an array of games that while using the medium given gameplay as a basis for it's preentation focuses on intellectual rather than enterainment issues. Games such as English translation for DS, Cooking mama (which while not intellectual focues on education as well) a well as brain training and others. Philosophical game should be an option as well. |
It's not sad if it's done well. Problem is, MGS2's ending was not done well. You can't push a philosophy at the expense of story and gameplay. You can work it in but at some level, you have failed as a storyteller if you go into lengthy (and bullshit IMO) exposition about WTF is going on.
