I'd just like to point out at this point, in reference to one of Luminous' previous posts, that Minsc did not have a mouse, IT WAS A HAMSTER.
That is all, please continue.

LuminousAether said:Diablo 2... I played that game probably a grand total of 500 hours. It is the second most played game I have ever played, the first being Starcraft (I probably played over 4,000 games online, if that's only 20 minutes each (very low estimate) that's still well over 1,000 hours).
LuminousAether said:I think you are missing the point. Wild Arms 3 is just a typical cookie cutter rpg, like the Breath of Fire series used to be. But what I mean by a game being focused on gameplay, the gameplay of course needs to be better than average.
Your comparison is very unfair. I mean, does this statement actually mean anything valid:
I'd rather have an emphasis on gameplay instead of a cliched and contrived story.
???
Of course not. Sure, a focus on story is better than boring gameplay, but that's not the point at all. Awesome gameplay is better than awesome story, at least in my opinion. If I want an awesome story, I'll just read a book, not suffer through endless mundane battles.
Not so...during its time, A Link To The Past was one of the most interesting RPG/Action game there was...it wasnt till a few years later when Secret Of Mana and Chrono Trigger came out that it was "dethroned"...On the video game channel, G4, they had a Top 10 storyline of all time show. Guess which game won the number one spot? The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I about shat myself when they said that, that game had almost no story and I would say that the story it did have was weak as hell. At least Chrono Trigger got number 2... but...
LuminousAether said:Come on, even Dragon Warrior 1 had a better story than A Link to the Past. By the time we get to Dragon Warrior 4, the story is at least 10 times as complex and interesting as a Zelda game (which I have never and will never play for story... sheesh... Zelda games are all about gameplay).

LuminousAether said:Speaking of Legacy of Kain, was anyone else hugely disappointed with Soul Reaver 2? While the puzzles were awesome, the story was awesome, and the gameplay was awesome... the game took like 14 hours to beat!! And there were no secrets or anything to hunt out... that was bullshit. Soul Reaver took like 50 hours to beat and there were plenty of secrets to find. Man... that pissed me off enormously when I finished Soul Reaver 2 so shortly.
