Are you saying that what you learn in first year psychology class debunks what happens in Xenogears? That none of it makes sense anymore? Please elaborate.mediocrepoet said:This game is pretty pretentious. It only seems deep and awesome when you approach it from a "I don't know anything about first year philosophy/psychology but think I'm really quite the deep thinker" perspective generally held by younger people.
Also do give me an example of a game that has the same amount of thematic depth but isn't pretentious in your view.
Now I see you didn't get it or understand it, so it makes sense you would consider it pretentious.Serious_Business said:The conclusion is pretty pedestrian if I remember right : man must find meaning by supporting each others (i.e. the power of love).
Yeah, you're right, I know you would never feel the same way yourself. Oh wait -As far as the word pretentious being used in a defensive way by those who don't approach rational efforts favorably, well that might be quite true, however we seem to have the case of a budding superiority complex here and I'd rather not feed that, so for your own good Dicksmoker, here's the punchline : you are a faggot and not elite, go read books instead of parading like a stupid little punk with your animu bullshit
Why don't YOU fuck off with your blatant hypocrisy?Serious_Business said:The gameplay is still horrid and way too easy of course, but I really want to emphasize the writing. I just re-read VD's interview with MCA, he (VD) basically commented that the story was about finding 4 jedi masters and killing the bad guy, but VD has the culture and sensibility of my balls, so fuck him (MCA pretty much ignored him and probably thought the same thing as I do, oh yeah). It's really something else, especially if you're willing to change 'Force' with 'God', 'Darth Nihilus' with 'nihilism', and 'exile' with 'lucidity' in most of the script, then you're up for something. Espcially if you're not the type of asshole that thinks he's brilliant and knows everything about everything. Now this is the Codex so there's slim chances next to none that you're not that kind of person, but yeah, I'd say this is on the level of Torment, easily enough. I'm wondering what are MCA's influences, I'm not sure if he's well-read or not, but he sure has a sensibility that shows in his writing. I wouldn't let the Star Wars bullshit get to you, it doesn't matter, MCA rapes the setting anyway and for the good cause. I like the original movies like anyone else, they're fun, and like anyone else I don't like the prequels. But I don't care about any of them. This however is serious shit, it's serious star wars shit man, for me it's probably the only thing that's worth it. Compared this to the first game, it's totally another world, I love the contrast with Bioware's weak and obvious shit, I could write an essay on that, fuck.
I'm serious, this is now probably one of my favourite rpgs. I mean the gameplay in Torment was shit, so there's no reason why this can't be considered too. Anyway fuck you I'm a pretentious faggot who thinks the writing and characters is the most important thing in a game, yeah, I should be reading a book instead I know, but this was still a pretty cool experience. MCA is my rpg hero, I mean really, really my hero. Sucks with what is happening with AP, but I'll have to see it for myself, I guess
