Story in Games

He does go after a bunch of other villains in the RPG titles, doesn't he?

Oh wait, you mean the main platformers...

I never played Farmvillie.

Farmville's a game with no story or depth. It's a game people's moms play on Facebook. Even calling it a game is an insult to creations like Wind Waker and Street Fighter and the rest of games most of us can identify with.

I see someone takes video gaming seriously.

What did you expect to find on a forum that's part of a website dedicated to chronicling Nintendo's history?

You enjoy gaming for all its worth and experience everything within a game, right? Back then, there wasn't much, So games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong were considered masterpieces back then, but are now just time-wasters, I guess.

Sounds to me that you're looking for gaming experience that are challenging, yet relatively contentless. Those arcade-like stuff are still being made now (in form of "casual" games - some are at the difficulty of those old days too), so stop ranting how gaming today is inferior.

But yeah, videogame is just a very broad term that includes a lot of different forms of interactive entertanment. It doesn't have to be what you think it is; and you're... not really talking about gaming in general here, given how specific your examples here.

...do I even know what I'm saying, anymore?

I'm not sure of that, but I don't know what you're saying anymore, that's for sure.

I have never said "today's games are inferior." I just explained what video games were like back then.

....Then you went on to say that Mario, a game known for having next to no story, should have even less story, an argument which I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
