i love complex plots, Planescape Torment being the perfect example, as long as they make sense!

This, Planescape Torment has the best story and writing ever in a videogame.

Now, some games are just convoluted and completely terrible. Xenogears, MGS2 and Xenosaga have terrible writing and mediocre stories. None of those are deep at all.

>_>

all that matter is if it is told well, complex or not



Yeah there good.

Oh, really? Bad writing? Hell, I didn't know you knew Japanese Shio!

Man, it's refreshing to know that what we thought was bad translation wasn't bad translation at all, but that the original Japanese writing was bad!

(And yes, PS:T's writing is terrific).



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

A lot of people will disagree with you on this one.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Considering MW2 sold 2 millions on PC in less than 5 months and was still considered a flop, I don't see why COD4, which dominated digital distribution services for months and topped several retail charts, would not do way more than MW2.

As for FFXI, it's an MMO with over 500k subscribers and millions of boxes sold. MMOs make so much profit.

Bad translation isn't an excuse for the fact that their stories are mediocre and convoluted though.

I watched yesterday this movie (won the 2010 Oscar for best foreign movie - should have won the Best Movie award, but anyway)

Seriously, it's impossible to say Xenogears or MGS2 or Final Fantasy [insert number here] have "great stories" after watching that movie. Or any game for that matter. Want to make a test, go watch that movie and see if you can say it.

 



Make hed hurt. Liik splosions.

Maybe I'll take your advice.
