I don't blame Nintendo for this... They're the ones who always remained true to the simple "let's get right to the gameplay" strategy of gaming. I blame all the "storytellers" in games who try to make something intelligent and then proceed to muck it up with bad dialogue, terrible acting, and plots that make Star Wars look intriguing and deep. |
I mean I still play Nintendo games too, so I don't dislike them as a company or anything, I just feel that is one element of their games which has always been lacking and will still be lacking in the future.
I wanted to shoot myself during the cutscenes for Twilight Princess. Not only were the character designs simply atrocious, I felt like the story was operating at a second-grade level. At least in Super Mario Galaxy it didn't even really try and have much of a story minus some BS about stars, but the abysmal story/character design of Twilight Princess detracted from an otherwise positive experience for me.
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
