Melodramatic Games

I just started playing Ace Combat: Fires of liberation and it's just starting to get to me that it seems like tons of games these days have become soft pansy fests of emotional crap. It's not like I can't take a good story, with quality characters and a wide range of emotion, but Ace Combat feels so forced that I sit there, listening to this wimpy blonde chicks inner monologues about her daughter and her stupid dead husband who painted her stupid name on his stupid plane before getting shot down, and I just sit there wishing it would end. I want to play the enemy, and drop bombs on her and her stupid daughter.
Go play with the angels.
Another game that struck me as just overly dramatic recently was Eternal Sonata. The game was beautiful and I couldn't wait to get into it... but after the first 30 minutes of wishy washy bullshit, I just couldn't justify spending any more time on it.... luckily it was a gamefly rental, so I didn't waste any money on it.
I don't want to sound like an over-testosterone driven buffoon, but can I play a game that gets me psyched up anymore without goofy stories about boring shit that noone cares about. I liked SOTC, I like FF7, I like sad movies and shit, but if you don't have the writing talent to pull off a emotional story, don't try, and just let me fire missles at terrorists that are developing super weapons to destroy the world. Please.
Fuck Gracemaria.
Anyone else feel the way I do? Or am I just a miserable fuck?

God the plot was awful and contrived.
Fuck yes you are!
While it is true that some games are way too melodramatic, Ace Combat was fantastic (in-mission at least, and during the intro). I feel more patriotism towards Emeria than Canada (or even Québec).
Go dance with the angels :x
hahaha
But that fucking woman... she is just annoying the hell out of me, the enemy guy with the brief case is pretty cool though. The game in general does seem pretty good so far.
Damnit! I was really looking forward to getting that game from my gamer queue.
Damn you sissy game development writers!!! Damn you to hell!

Don't let one guy on a forum ruin it for you. I'm about halfway through disc 2 and loving the majority of the game. There are certain annoying characters that could be removed without hurting the story, but it's definitely not the the point of "fuck this game it's dumb."

Well, I guess except for that "can love bloom on the battlefield" bullshit
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...
Then again the Hari Kari Campbell is awsome at the end - I remember him telling me I was playing the game too long, and it really hit the spot. I had played through the entire game in ELEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT, in one sitting, and that bastard tells me to take a break.
I guess you've never killed any boss in MGS1.
OH AND SPEAKING OF KINGDOM HEARTS
edit: point. I guess I just accepted it as the typical Japanese style of "hey, you know this character's whole background? HERE IT IS in one giant monologue". I wouldn't really put it on the same level as MGS2 whiny.
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...
Squall was a pissy emofag.
MGS1 was already shattering the Cloud Strife scale (which is how whine was rated back then), but MGS2 just pulled all the stops and swung for the fence. It still hasn't been topped.
And Cloud was not a whiner.
I mean, really, the fuck?

He was more like "Hey guys, why don't we just forget about my problems and go kill Sephiroth k?"
Squall, on the other hand...
Do... Re... Mi... So... Fa.... Do... Re.... Do...
Forget it...

Then I played five with a friend and we both agreed...not a game for us.
I remember watching my older brother play MGS2 back when the PS2 really started to get popular and as a result memory cards were impossible to find
We had the system on for about 36 hours straight at that point and he thought for a moment that those codecs were meant to deter players whose lives were being absorbed by the game until he started hearing the really fucked up ones
Just reading the manual to this game will put hair on your chest.

He was also so completely fucked up mentally that once we learn of his ridiculous mental state and his inferiority complex its kind of believable. But some its just I'm angsty because I'm a complete retard whos in a dangerous situation I'm completely oblivious to while I whine
Play Ace Combat 4. It doesn't match the trailer for Zero, but it's good. It doesn't have the bullshit that 5 has.
KYRIEEEEEEEE!!!
Violets are blue

He was pretty much the opposite of whiny. He had all these fucked up issues, and while everyone else is worrying about him he's basically all like "fuck it, we've got evil to stomp".
Cloud was NOT whiny.
Then we have incidents like "Do you think love can bloom on the battlefield?" and "THAT DEATH WAS MEANT FOR ME ABLOOHOO"
It makes me squirm every time Fortune opens her mouth.
But I don't consider the cheese in the MGS series to be a bad thing. The games clearly embrace it and so do I.
American games don't fare much better. The ones that do tend to serve what, at least in comparison, are niche markets for older gamers- PC RPGs, and adventure games.
I SHOULD OF BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
I don't think its even possible to be more melodramatic then that.
I never asked for this!
"I should have been the one to fill YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIGHT LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT"
Some of the cutscenes made me cringe.
super limed.
yes yes a million times yes. (Contra 4)
I booted that game up one day in the morning, before I got to the title screen I had a beard all the way down to my nipples.
But yeah Contra 4 is pretty inarguably badass and so if you wanted to find soul-searching and dramatic monologues in it you'd have to supply your own.
WTF is that bullshit?
I think I lost a inch or two from my penis after playing that game.
5 had an excellent storyline, but terrible delivery. I hated the characters.
4 and zero are pretty much the best games ever.
