story telling
to be honest I'm a really really huge fan of "the man who can't be moved" and so I'm pretty critical of his cover of it.
anyway, I recently completed Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and was just quite appalled at my sheer lack of interest in it. I have no idea why seriously. It was kinda the kind of game that I'd have enjoyed tremendously. seriously. lots of hack and slash sword action. cool ninja moves. like what? 7 different weapons. unlimited shruikens/arrows?
I swear this had my name written all over it.
anyway, i completed it, but well, i was never really into 'into' it. Its like, half way through the 3rd stage, i was just playing it cause I haven't gotten any other fun games on my PS3 yet. I mean, I was more excited about winning my races in NFS: Undercover than... killing ninjas and weird monsters and what not.
wad.de.hawk. like seriously.
I couldnt believe how bored i was, and this coming from a guy who enjoys watching people play their rpg games just to see the story line.
So after some trouble shooting. I guess What I'm a fan of, is a story. Just like Jay Sean (now you know what that horrible cover video was about eh lol.)
I've always preferred the asian MV's because they usually featured a story line of some sort, like Jay Chou's and stuff. I always hated performances videos because if i wanted to see them sing it properly, I'd go to watch them live. Especially some songs which obviously aren't your typical happy-go-lucky songs, songs about break up, songs with a meaning behind it, I always thought having a good story in the MV always helped. and before anyone jumps at videos of run devil run and gee appearing on my website and shooting it as 'not having a story line' i did mention it has to be like... songs with a meaning in it. as much as i love the song Gee. There's absolutely no meaning in it.
maybe I should start playing Final Fantasy, considering it has a good storyline, then again i'm oh so lazy to go and train and everything. So much work.
My mantra is that you should n ever have to exercise too much brain cells when you're gaming. What's the point of playing a game to 'relax' if it requires you to spend the same, or even more energy, than when you're working. Hell I'd much rather spend my time on like, trying harder at soccer or something.
Then again, there's probably alot of games who believe the converse is true... so yea.
in any case, good luck to the fellas going in tomorrow!
