Quote:Dude, did you even read my story? Because it looks like you completely missed the point. BTW, the twist ending is that you are Hypocrite-Man, in case you didn't get that. *GASP SHOCK AWE!!!*
Thanks for listening...

As I said, expecting you to act like a sensible human being is far too much to hope for. 'Rationality? Bah, who needs it...'
It is NOT RATIONAL to say that your opinion is the law! It isn't! But you'll never understand that so I don't know why I bother repeating it...
So, can you come up with OBJECTIVE reasons why Gauntlet is so awful? I'm sure that they will almost all be opinion reasons, not objective ones. Because that's where most of the things that are "wrong" with Gauntlet reside: things that are a matter of pure opinion, with very little objective fact "good or bad" involved.
Quote:The problem I have, which I already stated, is that these games do not tell good stories, because they barely even tell them at all! If these games were movies, it would be the equivalent of watching a mindless action movie that has text scrolling across the bottom of the screen telling pieces of a pretty good story. Sure the story would be there, but it would be presented in such a way that nobody in their right mind would consider the movie to be a great piece of storytelling. It's as simple as that. If you STILL don't understand what I'm saying, then you never will and it'd be best for you to just continue being blissfully ignorant.
And I've said that I think you are completely wrong. Do we have anything to discuss on this issue? I don't think it's bad storytelling. Is there a rulebook somewhere that says it is?
