Do you agree with this sentiment?

none, fucking none. The reason why all video game adaptations have shitty b-movie tier cheesy story is simple: Video games have shitty b-movie tier stories - and there is absoutely nothing wrong with that
Don't get me wrong, newer games that have more focus on storyline(which I think is terrible because they lose focus on gameplay that way become SegaCD tier FMV quicktime shit) could have a chance of a quality movie adaptation, but old games? Forget about it. Even Deus Ex which is my personal favorite game of all time and has the perfect gameplay-to-storyline ratio of all video games would fall flat if converted to cinema - I used to praise DX story all the time because it is really good and not forced into your face like in new games, but face the facts, even the best gameplay stories have nothing new in them that sci fi books and movies didnt exhaust years ago. Best story in game = mediocre story in book/film. Don't adapt games, just don't

Mario games don't need any pretentious story shit to be good.

Why does this quote trigger people so much? He's objectively right.

>giving a shit about the words in a videogame

>lol random story
It just seemed like they had a bunch or random ideas and a complete lack of direction and it ends with nonsensical ending that just seemed lazy

Why do Paper Mario fans think having a gameplay-over-story design philosophy is the same thing as being against stories?
