And I suppose that's the first failing of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'': it's that you need the fucking Cliffs Notes to get into it."''

10->''"I keep thinking of the recent afternoon I spent watching a friend playing ''VideoGame/TheSaboteur''. As I looked on, I was a little overwhelmed by how much stuff was going on. It was all over the place. ''The Saboteur''! It's a {{racing game}}! It's a [[StealthBasedGame stealth game]]! It's a [[ThirdPersonShooter shooter]]! It's a [[BeatEmUp brawler]]! It's a sandbox! It's a riveting tale [[TheEpic of loss, revenge, and heroism! It's sexy, funny, and badass!]] It mixes the artsy cabaret style of [[TheForties the 1940s]] with sex jokes and [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi-battling]] action any twit can appreciate! It's a Goddamned VideoGame/{{Katamari|Damacy}} of unrelated objects slammed together into a single mass!"''

13->"[Design director Matt Armstrong] compares [having lots of newly unlocked abilities] to having a big bucket of [=LEGOs=], and simply emptying them all out on the table and saying, 'There's fun here. It's in there somewhere. See you later.' There were some players who were able to take the LEGO bricks and build them into something vaguely coherent. And there were some players who just looked at it [and said], 'I don't even know where to start?'"

19->'''Lana:''' There's something ''about'' [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild this era]]. There's a hundred different paths he can take, and a thousand ways he can go about it. Sometimes he'll [[OneHundredPercentCompletion scour Hyrule for the Sheikah Shrines]], and other times he'll [[LowLevelRun ignore them after he gets off the Great Plateau]]. Sometimes he'll spend, like, seventeen thousand rupees on clothes and armour to [[CrazyPrepared make sure he's well-equipped for any situation]], and other times he'll opt to [[ConvectionSchmonvection cook elixirs for the weather]] and just tough out the combat. Sometimes he [[VideoGameCaringPotential recollects all of his memories before he makes it to the Calamity]]... and [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential sometimes he'll never even get his tunic back from Impa]].
20->'''Cia:''' That can't be-
21->'''Lana:''' It ''is'', though. The [[WaveMotionGun Divine Beasts]] are the same. Sometimes he'll [[AntiFrustrationFeatures free them all]], sometimes he'll [[SelfImposedChallenge get half of them before he panics worrying about Zelda]], and sometimes he'll [[MinimalistRun completely disregard them]]. Even the [[IconicItem Master Sword]]. One time, he ended up at Korok Forest and [[GameBreaker drew it before he ever saw Kakariko]]. Other times, [[SelfImposedChallenge it's sat there]], and he never even saw the Deku Tree.

You nearly wandered off into that -- that ''thing!'' That big open -- just wandering around, no right or wrong directions! No path to follow! You can just go in any -- ''[groaning]'' Oh, thank heavens we avoided it! We're out of the woods now, Stanley. Okay, I'm going to get us out of here, let's find another game. Preferably something with walls, [[NoSidepathsNoExplorationNoFreedom something with nice big insurmountable walls]]."''
