If you can't appreciate narrative, I have to wonder how you suffered through Portal...

=P

What narrative?

Portal had character development. This had... spawn camping.

Here ya go.

It's only a minute and a half, it involves two games and it involves actual dialog.

I had a couple witty things to say about that, but then I realized they would be wasted because it looks like all forms of subtlety are lost on you. So I'll say it plainly: one can tell a story and one can understand a story even if there are no words, spoken or written. If you cannot understand a story told without words, I suggest you start thinking of the possibility that maybe there are aspects of communication that you never realized before.

I completely understand the idea of having a story without dialog. I'm being overly sarcastic.

But my point remains: what story was told in Ignis Solus?

What my opinion boils down to is that it was boring.

I can sign the petition that says it dragged on abit, but it was still well done.

Life is like a pipe, it's hard to get through and you're not always guaranteed a happy ending.
