Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 27738, member: 73"] [IMG align="left" width="215px" size="1000x1500"]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjQ3YmE0NGItNDIwMS00MWY4LTlmMDItMzc5MDIzYjk0YTUzXkEyXkFqcGc@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg[/IMG]I don't understand what I'm supposed to be liking about Earthbound, or about any other entries in the MOTHER series. (I've played them all to some extent.) The gameplay is boring, the visuals are trite, the music, while occasionally good, isn't really anything beyond other mid-tier SNES games, and with every passing year my tolerance for that "whimsical" style of Japanese writing (used by people like Itoi, Anno, and that guy who made Revolutionary Princess Utena or whatever that show is called) halves exponentially. Without using the words "atmosphere", "childhood" or "nostalgia", what am I missing, here!? I guess I prefer my games to have a cynical bite and an edge to them, even when they're silly cartoon games about being kids. But I prefer them even more to be fun! [/QUOTE]
