Quote:I'm glad you took the time to read all of what I said there. And in my opinion you insult Gauntlet massively. It is NOT a terrible game. Far from it. It isn't something everyone would love, but it is far from terrible. The fact that I know others also like Gauntlet reinforces my position. It's not like I'm the only one who likes Gauntlet! Legends/Dark Legacy are pretty popular... that's why Legends got a sequel and that's why Midway is currently working on a new Gauntlet game.
... Wait a second now...
So because you know "others" that like Gauntlet and Midway is developing a new Gauntlet game means that it's a quality series? If those two things are enough to make a game good then every game ever made is AWESOME.
Quote:Yeah, randomness. Given how much you're railed against randomness, I'd think you'd dislike it in movies too...There's a difference between randomness for a reason and just plan randomness.
Quote:Uh, presented well? I'd CERTAINLY say that Metroid Prime was presented well! Actually I'd say that I don't think it could have been presented any better. What's so horrible about going and reading things that tell you story in an action game? I don't get it...
The STORY wasn't presented well, THE STORY. *slaps ABF across his stupid face* The game itself has superb presentation, but the story is barely presented at all. It's the complete opposite of presentation, actually. It's just there for you to find, and does not affect the game whatsoever (aside from the actual act of scanning for getting a higher percentage). It's like the background stuff you read in the manuals of NES games to get why Mr White created Mega Man. Stuff like that. Neat to know, but not what you'd call great story-telling.
