Really, I don't see any room to complain, regardless. There isn't exactly a dearth of player authored narrative games right now, nor an inundation of the other kind.

There's that as well. For all the games out there and the massive bloom of indie titles, complaining about RPGs seems a bit shallow. They certainly aren't killing the gaming scene.

For that matter, avoiding modern gaming because of CRPGs and thus ignoring every other facet of the gaming industry seems silly but I guess it doesn't hurt me any.

I do agree with his point about lengthy intros that allow limited interaction. Even as "basic training" they're not really successful. I'd love to be able to skip the whole wagon ride and associated content next time I start a character in Skyrim -- I don't even know if the sequence is actually long from a minutes standpoint; it's just dull. At least you'll probably never play the intro to Arkham City twice.
That's one thing I liked about Fallout 3. They give you a save file right before finalizing your character's stats and exiting the vault, so on subsequent playthroughs, you can just create your character and go.

If you play Skyrim on PC, you can just console command a race change, I guess.

You don't want to know how many times I followed Septim and his band of merry morons through the passages under the Imperial City at the beginning of Oblivion, when I was trying to get some mods to work. Smiley: disappointed After awhile I remembered that you can change all your attributes (race, class, sign, etc) before leaving the prison sewer but at that point I only restarted once...

Sounds like my aunt and uncle from Chicago. According to them, no good food is produced outside of Chicago. Even food that originated in other places, Chicago does it better.

I take it they don't eat pizza...

If I'm going to do all you can eat pasta, I prefer to go to one of those places that let you combine veggies, meat, spices, and noodles and then they fry it all up for you. Mongolian stir fry or something.

As an outsider, I would have assumed a place called "The Olive Garden" would actually be a Greek restaurant. Shocking.

I saved my game before leaving the sewers and never did that run again.

Well, that's not strictly true. I did it a second time to make sure I hadn't missed anything, and sure enough I had. So I guess my second game was the generative save.

More Jaffiness.

I'll save you the trouble, you don't need to read any of it, but the audio clip in the lower half is of some mild interest, in a reality TV kinda way.

It's Jaffe cursing out one of Kotaku's editors for an article of their's that called him mysoginistic. Spoiler alert: he comes off like an asshole.

That, and apparently Shadow of the Colossus needs more flaming chainsaws.

Well, that can be said about any game.

And it'd be right.

Right. The difference being that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people paid money to play the story of Batman. Conversely, no one gives a fuck about someone's "So I totally quick-scoped him!" stories from Battlefield 3.

Yeah, I've seen that. The fact that I knew exactly what video you were going to post makes me think it's the exception to the rule Smiley: grin

Video game stories are like golf stories or poker stories. Nobody cares except you. The only reason anyone even pretends to care is so that they can tell their own story and have you pretend to care.

So there I was with a bear by the edge of a cliff. Then I shouted "Fus Ro Dah!" and it fell off! Hahahahah... this self-authoring thing is a gas.

I think the bottom line is that Jaffe and I have different opinions on what makes a good game. Fine enough as there's plenty of games out there and no deficit of multiplayer first person shooters if that's how you get your "story tellin'" on. Or platformers. Or simulations. Or rhythm games. Or strategy war games. Or point-n-click mystery solvers. Or...

Obviously the solution is more Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Real Time Citybuilding Strategy Role Playing Action Puzzle Games.

And you have to play it with a old-timey joystick with a single button.
