Okay, well I did type a large piece of fucking text out to reply to your post, but I somehow lost it all due to going back a page, so what I'm going to type now will probably not be correct or something. Just bare with me.

The one thing I didn't like about MM is that, that scene with Romani and her sister is all everyone talks about when they talk about the creepiness of MM, and when I used to read it after like the 4th time it's been discussed in a LoZ thread I'd just cite it as bullshit. I was actually going to reply to your post saying that I fucking hate that interpretation and it's stupid.

But now, that I've finally completed that section and saw it (by accident actually, I went back on the third day to see if there was anything else to do at the Romani Ranch) I was reminded of it and wondered for a bit what it meant. Reading your post again did make me realise the deeper meaning behind it. I don't really like the people who speculate the most retarded shit about video games (Like Ocelot being Kaz) even if they do add up to some extent.

Hell, the guy with the chicks is also quite depressing, but I never really saw him ever be discussed back in LoZ discussions, but when I got to him and looked around, well, it was depressing. It's just him and 10 chicks, all he talked about was his chicks never being able to grow up, and I found that really sad. I helped him out and got the bunny mask, but really it's very depressing to think that the chicks were all he really cared about.

I guess those are the best kind of games, the ones that make you think in the end. Like with Silent Hill 2, after I finished it and looked up things about James, Mary, Maria, Eddie, Laura and Angela it just stuck with me for a while. Same with games like Danganronpa, in which 15 students are forced to kill each other until one survives. The other point of the game is to try and find a way out of the school, since you're locked in. You find out in the end that Spoiler:the world outside is actually destroyed and the school is the safest place in the entire world, and the entire point of Danganronpa is to have continuous despair. One of my favourite things about it is that the school is meant to be a symbol of hope for the people who are still alive outside to show that as long as the building stands and the people inside are okay that there is hope for the human race, although that's taken away from them as all the working televisions and monitors on the outside all show the inside of the school, showing all the students killing each other to make it outside even though getting outside is worse than the school itself. The survivors of what happened are pretty much forced to watch the last hope for humanity kill each other in a game that has no real prize. Once I learned about that I thought about it for a while as well.

Games that stick with you for a while after you stop playing them or finish them completely really are great games.

Uh, I think I sidetracked there. Overall Majora's Mask's really is something else in regards to Zelda games. I still think the most depressing part of the game is how everything to do just goes away once you go back to the first day again. Except my Rupees, they're safe and sound in the bank.
