      Now compare that narrative experience the Super Mario Bros.

      Im sure it’s been done, but i would love to see interpretations of a First Time User Experience of OG mario if it came out today.

      I cant tell you how many games ive just noped out of because i just want to actually play the game and not read or listen to either dialogue or forced tutorial railroading for 20+minutes (even 5 minutes of NOT being in control of what im doing is annoying) when you start a new game.

      Even character creation can impede just wanting to get started. Let me come back later, or engage with that as i PLAY the game. Injecting extensive dialogue or forced interactive tutorial should be a reward or a much appreciated rest from the action, not a burden i must bare.

      Not every game needs to be story rich to be fun, thank you vampire survivors
