Why is race and nationality ignored so much in the lore? (why does the lore fail)

all those games have stimulus. If people got so much enjoyment from just walking through a repetitive area then why bother making ffxiv or zelda? Just make one zone without any actual game and sell it to people. Then they can walk around it over and over again for years and be entertained.
If what im saying is wrong, go do -just- that, and you will be rich.

must not played pong.... Or the sims. Or Flower. all of which are highly sucessful and little to no "game" involed.

Don't forget Tetris and the thousands of other falling geometric object puzzle games. I'm pretty sure they all consist of one zone and repetitive actions.

Or maybe I'm just not grasping the concept due to lack of sleep.

your not.
puzzle games require thinking to solve the puzzle and forethought
sims requires decision making and also things constantly happen that you have to interpret
pong you have to use reflexs in order to win

walking down a hallway requires nothing but holding a button. Your brain doesn't have anything to do except process what you see on the screen. there is nothing to think about, nothing to analyze, nothing for your brain to do, other than process your sight. Its almost like staring at a wall.

I said the sims... as in THE Sims the video game. like the sims 3. pong don't require much skill nor does tetris... the only real game that required much of anything you said was myst. Fun yet creepy game btw....
One of my fav type of games are heavy puzzle solving mystery games Like muder on the orient, myst, LA noire, and the longest journey. Oh and that adventure game where you had to solve the murder of your character, it had a homunculus and the philosiphers stone.
