MODERATORS
It used to baffle me that people paid attention to the stories behind games in the first place. Sure, there's some kind of excuse for the game. But actually getting into it?
It's a platformer, who cares about the lore of the game world?
I've always had this read that video game stories can make a game a lot better if they're good, and make it a lot worse if they're bad, but if they're just kinda generic people are perfectly fine to ignore them.
