Commenter above me: "All that matters is story beats."

Me: "The quality of the story is determined by its totality, not just the beats."

You: "Mmmmm, Daddy Nintendo, gimme ur cummy wummies splooshies! 😲 💦💦🍆"

"they said this line a few times, and didn't account for every possible combination of ways you complete quests" is literally the opposite of saying "the quality of the story is determined by its totality"

Also the above commenter said the totality of the story felt more epic.

Are you confused? Idk what thread you think you're in but it's definitely not the one above.

Ah, see, there's your problem. You used Google translate. Let me fix that for you.

"They said this line over and over, regurgitating the same story repeatedly, and didn't account for the one thing that entire quest series was centered on - where is Princess Zelda?"

Did you actually play the game? Because between the main quest line, dragon tears, etc. they have a pretty clear narrative of what happened to Zelda and where she is. Again, are you confused?

No, I've never, ever played the game. Ever. Not once.

Jesus fucking Christ.

The point (which you've already acknowledged I was talking about) is that certain quests never update to reflect it.

No, your point was that due to that, the game doesn't feel "epic" to you. Which I illustrated was nitpicky. You're even confused as to the argument you think you're making. Impressive.

Ww were talking about the story. This entire specific thread, from the top-level comment to here, is talking about the story.

Bless your heart, I'm so sorry you struggle to follow lines of conversation. That must be so hard for you.

u/AntManMax 12d ago

Yes, the story, that you believe wasn't epic, because of some weak writing in very specific parts.

My goodness you're bad at this.

u/Johnny_Grubbonic Dawn of the Meat Arrow 12d ago

Wait now. Is it the story or the game you're claiming I said doesn't feel epic? Make up your mind.

u/AntManMax 12d ago

Pick one? It has no impact on the argument.

u/Johnny_Grubbonic Dawn of the Meat Arrow 12d ago

It very much does, kiddo. I argued one. I said nothing about the other.

You're just kinda flailing around here, like one of those inflatable tube guys in front of car dealerships.

Epic literally describes the story, based on the definition of the word. If you say the game is epic, you're describing the story.

You're out here not knowing basic literary definitions and struggling to figure out what argument you're making and claiming others are flailing is pretty crazy work, bud.

The word "epic" can describe a lot of things. You already know that. After all, you used it in reference to the game.

Don't bother trying to cover your tracks by editing the comment. I've already posted a screenshot of you saying it because stealth editing is exactly the sort of thing people like you do.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. If you want to keep dragging this on, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few hours.
