The Awful Truth About Video Games

AfterDark

on June 1, 2010

So I was thinking about video games the other day, mainly the fact that the developers always spend the budget on graphics, hookers and cocaine, and then hire some homeless guy to patch together a story by giving him half a bottle of cough syrup. I know its not ALWAYS true, there's plenty of shitty movies and books, and a few games that have really good writing, but overall, the situation seems to be as described in the comic. Not to mention that games seem to be incapable of giving a satisfying ending, it either just ends, goes out with a The End? type of conclusion, or have a brief, unsatisfying cinemtaic before the credits. Again, there are a few sparse exceptions, but the fact remains.

First World problem no. 1256 folks!
