I wonder why they got rid of story mode. I did hear once that they didn’t want to include cut scenes because people posted them on Youtube, and they claimed it ruined the plot (which doesn’t really make sense, so that must not be true), but why get rid of it entirely?

I must admit, another problem I have with the game is simply the fact that characters I was hoping for weren’t in it. There was this leaked info claiming Ghirahim from Zelda, K. Rool from Donkey Kong, and Krystal from Star Fox would be in it. While the leak was fake, part of me really hoped at least one of them would show up anyway, and none of them did. I’ve held a grudge against the game ever since. Hyrule Warriors didn’t let me down as much. Because at least one of the three on the list were playable. It’s pretty obvious who.

Yeah, I feel very lucky I live in the house that I do. When the news came out that they weren’t going to make a single-player story for this game, I myself was cool with it, but I knew that it was understandably going to be a bummer for others.

At least the online isn’t horrible?

I think SSB would be more fun and addicting if I had other people to play with. Unfortunately. I don’t live near any fans of the series, making story mode that much more important to me. That’s why I was so disappointed the Wii U version didn’t have a story mode like Brawl did. I guess Brawl was good for us solo players, while the others are good for multiplayer, which is the true intent of the series. Sniff, if someone would play with me, I’d really get to enjoy what the series has to offer.

I tend to play games with the thought, “What’s the best this game has to offer?”. That question is answered in so many different ways, depending on genre, which motivates me to play the next one (and why I always have around 5 games on the go…).

It’s funny you mention Smash though. I live with 3 roommates, who are all avid Smashers. With that game, I play for the social interaction, the competitiveness, and the teamwork (2-v-2’s with team attack on). For me, these specific motivations are largely unique to Smash, which is why I always go back.

I still love the first game, but those gummy ship levels… They were silly enough when I first played the game, but now that they’ve been improved in KH2, they look even more sad in comparison. It was such a fantastic game, and then they expect us to fly around between every world on little ships that look like they’re made of Legos.

That’s true, there certainly must be something about hobbies that causes us to want to spend our limited time on them. It must be worth it when these hobbies further decrease what time we have. I know that sometimes I need my games to get through tough times in life. It’s a break from the real world, and as you said, it also brings back good memories we might’ve had with that game in the past, or good memories of things we were doing our first time playing the game.

On a similar note, while I’ve been playing less of Hyrule Warriors lately, it’s still been fun because I’ve been revisiting it in short bursts here and there. I’ve had much fun just slowly getting gold medals in all the levels where I got silver or bronze and completing levels I could never do before. It’s been really relaxing tackling this game at such a slow pace, and my goal is to always accomplish something I couldn’t do last time, and I usually meet that goal. Meeting real life goals can be difficult, so setting goals with far less pressure, that I can actually reach within a short period of time, is really nice.

Man I can’t ever go back to KH1, it isn’t even the growth from 1 to 2 that makes me never want to go back, it just doesn’t feel as comfortable.

I feel the same way. I like games that are long, but I don’t like games that are too long or never end. I can’t play Minecraft because, as far as I can tell, it goes on forever. It would drive me nuts!
