Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Hey, at least we haven't seen the "OMFG SUPER MARIO BROS 3 IS TOTALLY A STAGE PLAY!" post for some time. Be happy for the small mercies :D

It would be really cool if a game parodied Mario, and made a main character with some generic name like "Tim" chase after some princess without revealing much about their past together. The stages could be presented in a disjointed order, gradually exposing various parts of Tim's history and motives. All of this would build up to the last stage, which is presented in reverse order, finally making it apparent to the player that they are, in fact, the villain of the story.

The title would probably be something referring to the most vivid memory Tim has of the princess, which might be something that had to do with her hair, while also expressing how the previously confusing, episodic events of the game all intertwine into one ingeniously crafted narrative. It could be called "Weave", or "Plait", or..."Braid".

Knight of the Old Republic tried to do this. It was a pretty good plot twist.

That's a great explanation for the game's name. Never thought of it like that...

That game, not about princesses. That game, about nuclear warfare. Blew my mind.

Braid. The game is called Braid.

I guess it'd be like Braid then. Seriously, who saw that twist coming?

I see someone's stealing my conspiracy theory and using it for link karma.

Loljk, I stole that shit from someone else.

Implausible, cause the princess is not happy with Bowser, and Mario's help is requested to save her.

Not to mention she keeps kissing him when he rescues her.

She just needs to convince mario shes on his side. Until the lights go out…

assuming you're seeing that reality and not mario's warped perception in which he believes he is doing right?

[–]megazen 0 points1 point ago

It's not just a perception, Mario's been asked several times to save the princess, and she's unhappy with Bowser, so she requests his help.

I am so sick of this picture. I want to take a dump without seeing this one tomorrow, don't let me down reddit.

Bowser loves Peach. Bowser can't take no for an answer. So he kidnaps Peach.

Then there was that time when he told his son Peach was his mother.
