Quote:Yup, that's exactly what I said, uh huh! ... oh wait, it isn't! I said it was close. BG&E is probably a bit better. And you can insult Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy all you want but they are still quite good games. From what I've seen (of people's opinions of the games), it seems like what they are are love or hate games. As in, you either love them or hate them, without a whole lot of middle ground... that does NOT make them bad games. It makes them games designed to be a specific thing that some people like and others don't. Like... oh, a whole lot of games... What you can say is that you think they're too simplistic. Okay, fine. You think that. I think that they are simple, but really fun... it's a difference of opinion and because yours is that it doesn't make the games terrible. (not so) sorry.

To even put them close to eacher is a massive insult to BG&E. It's like saying that FDR is just a bit of a better person than Hitler. FDR representing BG&E, in case you didn't get that.

Quote:No, it's not always a bad thing, I agree with you there. What I really meant was that while in many cases it is fine and works great, it's nice to see some games mix it up a bit. I don't want EVERY game that way. Having more inventive storytelling forms in some games is a good thing.

And actually the story is one of the (many) great things about Prime. I'd definitely say that it increased my interest in the game while I was playing... it fleshes out the world in a great fashion and gives all kinds of depth to a game that otherwise would be much simpler. You don't play Prime just for the story, but it's definitely one of the reasons you play.

The "story" in Prime is very loose and the bits of information that you get from scanning stuff doesn't amount to good story-telling. It's great background information, but definitely not good story-telling. And it wasn't supposed to be.

Quote:Oh, and on a similar note (since I saw it yesterday) if you've seen it you must have hated the anime movie Millenium Actress... it goes pretty much against what you said there. I thought it was pretty good...

Millennium Actress is a superb movie, and how does that go against anything I said? You mean that "randomness" comment? A story can be out of order and random and still be great (like Pulp Fiction), as long as it's still presented well. If Millennium Actress wasn't structured and presented so exceptionally well then it wouldn't have been a good movie.
