arksterReasons I'm a math major, #6:
I much prefer reading five pages of extremely dense and complicated information which, when parsed, reveal absolute truth via cold hard logic in a good solid language. Particularily over reading a hundred pages which tell me what an ancient philosopher thought about concepts too vague for language to hold in an imperfect translation of a dead language.
It's like playing Phoenix Wright. The effort is all in my head.
As opposed to, say, playing Xenosaga. In which the effort is in figuring out why I care.
...
And then of course there's the eighty pages about how an artist's life is paaaain and his sufferings are almost beyond human imagining, because when he was 17 he embarassed himself in front of the girl he liked and when he was 14 the boy he liked said his name was weird. In German.
I'm not sure if there's a videogame analogy for that.
