Me when another Assassins Creed/Diablo/Kingdom Hearts/Mega Man/Shin Megami Tensei/etc comes out:
Jesus, are they EVER going to wrap this shit up? What does it say about this game series when despite the very best efforts of its heroes the same villains return over and over again? Are they even interested in the rectification of evil, or is the storytelling merely an excuse to provide a never-ending outlet of bloodlust for the player itself against a familiar recurring enemy? The world of the game will never know peace, nothing will be made whole, nothing will be resolved, for indeed, how else can the developers promise new levels, new monsters, over 100 hours of thrilling new content?
Also me: Wahoo! It’s another goddam Mario game! Time to head back to the Mushroom Kingdom and see what wild hijinx those plucky Brooklynite plumbers Mario and Luigi are up to now. Uh oh! Looks like Boswer, the evil King of the Koopas, is rearing his ugly head again, no doubt with some dastardly scheme in tow to conquer the magical land of the Toads and kidnap its longtime ruler Princess Peach. When will that overstuffed snapping turtle ever learn? But not to worry, with those pasta-loving Mario brothers to the rescue, there’s nothing a little goomba-stomping, shell-kicking, super mushrooming, flower-fireball throwing, and of course, a little star power can’t fix! Wahaaa! Lets’a fuckin go!
