Obviously, if you can't play the game, there is something wrong. Nintendo is often criticized for not having many new or original titles, but from the get-go Miyamoto has stood by his belief that gameplay matters the most, not the characters. I respect him for that. <br /><br />I do hope to see that more people take into account the story telling aspect of games though, because I feel like games have the chance to do things books and movies could never dream of. Take Braid, for example; the main gameplay mechanic is platforming with the ability to manipulate time. As the game continues, the abilities you are given in regards to manipulating time are affected by the story, allowing you to experience the story in a new way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989983541469553263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060555336399942877.post-56808073918239843882012-08-05T22:56:01.495-04:002012-08-05T22:56:01.495-04:00graphics are one thing but a game mostly relies on...graphics are one thing but a game mostly relies on it's gameplay mechanics which is why Mario never dies to this day. same gameplay, graphics whether great or not great, new enemies and plots. Some of Nintendo greatest franchises are known to do this. But still don't rely on graphics to save your game when you probably know its sucks. Just keep it as backup in case you feel your game does not have enough to say on it's own. Remember games speak for themselves. Anyway check out New Super Mario Bros 2 for the 3DS and you will get what I'm saying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673400530214405974noreply@blogger.com
