A Black Falcon Wrote:Look, you simply cannot put the same volume of story in a standard game that you can put in it if you put it in the manual or do like MP. Oh, a few games do, but not many... especially not with the backstory. MP is one of the few that really tries, I think, and it tries it in a not normal way. I know I am not the only person who thinks MP has a good story... I guess it just shows that their experiment in making a different kind of story presentation isn't what people are used to so they resist it (or they don't like reading), but I see nothing at all wrong with it, and don't see anything in your arguements against it except that you dislike the presentation... which is a purely opinion issue you know and not objective... you act like of course your opinion about it is the only way and it's so horribly told any way anyone can look at it and that is simply false.
You see, that is you trying to make games into books! Video games are not books and shouldn't have huge books to do all of the story-telling for them! It's neat as a supplement, a supplement!
