/vr/ - Retro Games

For fuck's sake, why does Earthbound have to be so negative? I wanted an adventure, but bam - I get social satire. Then I hoped for adventure and mystery, but BAM fucking criticism of religious cults. What the fuck, then it's satire of pop culture? Every single time I make a turn, there's shitty, outdated, banal satire.

You know what, faggots, I think you all liked it back then only because you were too young and dumb and only caught the good, simple aspects of EB's writing. The actual bitterness and banality of the script evaded you, while now you're simply nostalgic and focus on the good parts.

Style and rpesentation in EB are impeccable. Gameplay is a lightly botched Dragon Quest, it's OK, it's passable. But why does the story have to be so bitter and hateful in every other sentence? The game feels like talking to a 22 year old nerd.

Pic unrelated.

Bonus: say "go to /v/" and get fucking banned.
