->''"What confuses me, though, is that even after you've been wrongly accused and are on the run, you can still arrest people. In fact when the evil private cops show up to arrest you, you can arrest them back. What organisation is going to come around and pick those guys up? The Criminal Police from opposite land who give talks to high school kids on how drugs are really great and everyone should take them?"''

->''"I like games where the story and gameplay go hand-in-hand, while in most [=JRPGs=], story and gameplay are kept on either side of a wrought-iron fence made of TIGERS."''

->There's a stage where the screen keeps moving up, if you're caught at the bottom, you die. What kind of logic is that? In [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaIIIDraculasCurse Trevor Belmont's]] world, what killed him, the TV screen?

->Due to the limited nature of player agency, attempting to interrogate moral questions in videogames can be a challenging proposition. To put it another way: how can I have made the wrong choice if it’s a decision the game forced me to make? Repeatedly, [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} throws the player into unavoidable boss fights, where negotiation is not an option. ''[...]'' Like my fight against Toriel, these conflicts require the player to take advantage of hidden mechanics, repeat actions without knowing whether or not they’ll succeed, and subsist under a barrage of enemy attacks.\\

->Much has already been made of the powerup mechanic: that Samus ''already has them all'' in her overnight bag but refuses to use them until her commanding officer--with whom she has surrogate daddy issues up the delicately sculptured arse--authorizes it. This leads to a rather notorious moment when Samus blunders through an extremely hostile atmosphere without protective clothing because ''[[TookALevelInDumbass daddy didn't specifically order her to wear some]]'', putting her on the intellectual level of one of those robot vacuum cleaners.

->If your narrative and your core mechanic are at odds with each other, then that means your main character is a hypocrite.\\
--'''Walt Williams''', lead writer of ''VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine''

->You just gotta love [[DownTheDrain the sewers of Castle Britain]] which are ''crawling'' with giant predatory rats and man-sized fucking cobras. And this is the instant you set foot off the ladder. You'd think Lord British would send a coupla guys down here every few days to ''try'' and keep the '''giant fucking serpent population''' to a minimum. He's let it go too long; at this point he needs to mobilize the regular army... WHOA! There's a roomful of lava, man! [[BuildingOfAdventure This is in the sewers, under the castle!]] Someone should tell British about ''the active magma flow running right under his throne'' you know what, fuck him.

This leads to a rather notorious moment when Samus blunders through an extremely hostile atmosphere without protective clothing because ''[[LawfulStupid daddy didn't specifically order her to wear some]]'', putting her on the intellectual level of one of those robot vacuum cleaners.

It's like every character put their retard hats on that morning by mistake: There's a mawkishly overdramatic scene in which a character sacrifices himself by [[YouShallNotPass bravely detaching and blowing up the entire Metroid wing of the spaceship with him inside]]. We'll let slide for now the issue of why exactly he had to be ''[[FailsafeFailure inside it]]'' to do this, but Metroids show up later on ''anyway'', so he might as well have just '''stuck yellow and black tape over the door''' for all the good it did!

->''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' was the K-T extinction asteroid of 3D gaming. Before it struck, warm-blooded gamers suffered under [[PolygonCeiling clumsy, lumbering games]] which were as three dimensional as the pyramids: they had depth but moved at the speed of continental drift and were visibly blocky from four miles away. ''Metal Gear'' kicked the entire industry in the ass, and to this day Psycho Mantis is the only individual who could convince many gamers to put the controller down for a second.''\\\
''Unfortunately Creator/HideoKojima thought this was because he included a personalized ''War and Peace'' for every character... The [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots fourth game]] elevated video game meta-conflict by trying to [[SuckinessIsPainful defeat the player with relentlessly extended cut-scenes]] instead of bullets.
