But let's be serious for a moment.
If video games do not need/have stories, why does practically every game more complicated than Tetris have scenarios and assets that aren't basic or arbitrary? Why bother with elaborate designs? The oldest games used simple geometric shapes to represent everything and that works just fine. Gameplay doesn't need a reason to exist, creating a narrative context for the objectives and mechanics is completely pointless and adds nothing. People would enjoy these games just as much if they didn't have characters, settings or plots. It would also make development faster and cheaper since flat color polygon geometry is a lot cheaper than custom assets.

I mean, what the FUCK does that mean? What? Megaman is also artificial because they can ghost through solid walls and you cannot? Explain this artificial concept to me, because it sounds like you just find it difficult.

How is this artificial difficulty?
Are you retarded, once you know enemies attack patterns you can easily avoid them.
Get out of here with your "I'm a shitter so it must be the games fault" thread.

>Every game nowadays takes a day to download on my slow ass internet
I miss the days of 8GB games. What the fuck are devs even using the space for? Crysis 3 is less than 10GB and looks better than most 50GB games.

Uncompress textures.
Uncompressed cutscenes.
I'm on pretty fast internet but it still bugs me when I download a 40-50 gig game when the size could be much more compressed than it is.

your life is hell. all your specs are fucking boring and have no depth.
ingame buy price is super inflated cause the tokens can be used for bnet balance, which can be used in all blizz games, and soon to be Destiny 2 as well.

You're seriously questioning the logic of a game where you are an anthropomorphic hedgehog that can run at the speed of sound in a world where roads with loops are a common occurrence, and where you're fighting a mad human scientist that built an army of animal powered robots?
