I thought the MSG story is what people loved about the series

Your statement is true. So is marus. Take from that what you will.

Wait--, hold up. The story is why people play MGS?

Wow--.


Here's a really random gaming thought that I've been sitting on for a while: I've been playing the Konami PixelPuzzle mobile game at times recently, and often when I do, I get this very peculiar desire to play Ore no Shikabane o Koette Yuke on the Playstation. How does my brain associate these two things? It's a mystery to everyone.

Konami Pixel Puzzle is great. I beat it earlier this year. It’s my go-to Picross game. Makes me want to play Quarth for some reason, though...

That's literally the only reason I even knew it existed.

Nice.

I didn’t get the Famicom version of Quarth until after I beat the PixelPuzzle, and when I fired it up, I was like, “I recognize this awesome music!”

Oh, I didn't realize one of the songs was from Quarth. Will have to look it up.

Given how long the "FMVs" are, I thought this was the main attraction.

I'm not a fan of cutscene heavy games. My feelings are if I want to sit and watch something then I'll watch TV or a movie. If I want to play a game, then I don't want to just sit there and watch something.

That said, I don't dislike cutscenes in games. I just prefer they not be too long. And when I get the feeling that I'm watching more than I'm playing, that's where I tend to draw the line.

Random Gaming Thought:

If the Wii was released as an add-on for the GameCube like originally intended, I wonder if it would've done well and caused the GameCube to do better than it did.

Yeah, it's why I enjoyed the gameplay-heavy V but couldn't really gel with the others. That and the gameplay that was there really never worked for me in the older games.
