I look at at new game like "Dad of Boy" where Kratos uses an axe instead of his traditional Blades of Chaos to fight enemies. The game narrative explains that he uses the axe because his dead wife gifted it to him before her death.

That's the kind of narrative I'm looking for in a game. I need a reason to go forward, I keep a reason to care. Mario games no longer give me a reason to care, and as I have gotten older a reason to care is just as important as gameplay.

It's the reason why I don't play MMORP'S, at least for an extended period of time, because the gameplay can only sustain my lust for narrative for so long. Plus, I am not fond of forced interaction. My happiness and joy should not depend on another person... I mean I'm already married.

Speaking of my wife, before we met she use to be a hardcore WOW player. She use to tell me about how on work days or rather work nights, she had to do raids at 3 in the morning for her guild. Then she told me how it was a nightmare to get everyone there for the raid, then the mess it was to get them to do their task, and even worse, people endlessly complaining about not rolling snd getting gear.

She was stressed out, and that was years ago. It can't be much better now. No thanks.
