Quote:... that didn't make any sense...
As in actually making all of those cutscenes (well not all of them, maybe a quarter, any more than that and it'd be too much for any game -- you'd have to drop a good 75% of the story probably...) would take a lot longer to make...
Quote:There's nothing wrong with a manual giving a backstory to a game, without it we wouldn't know what the hell happened in 99% of all NES games. What is wrong is when you claim that a game has a good story because of it's instruction manual or instruction manual-like story bits in the game.
So it's good in some cases and bad in others, depending on your whim? Umm... yeah, right...
