Video Game Enthusiasts opinions

While people eagerly awaited the release of the 'Jurassic Park' movie, many began to wonder about the cast of the film, which was relatively unfamiliar to the general public. In fact, only a few of the actors were recognizable.

For instance, Samson Neill, one of the main cast members of 'Jurassic Park,' was 42 years old at the time and had already gained some recognition in the industry. However, he couldn't be compared to the superstars of Hollywood. Before 'Jurassic Park,' he had appeared in a few TV series, commercials, and had played supporting roles in some movies. 'Jurassic Park' marked a significant step in his career as he secured a leading role this time.

Another relatively well-known figure was Ricardo Attenborough, an older man with white hair who portrayed a scientist. Much like Samson Neill, he was somewhat recognizable, but not excessively famous.

The remaining members of the 'Jurassic Park' cast were either moderately known or just beginning their careers in Hollywood.

In summary, while 'Jurassic Park' was a high-budget film, it did not feature any truly famous stars. The majority of the cast was either moderately well-known or just starting their careers in Hollywood.

This is one of the reasons why many film enthusiasts and even casual moviegoers didn't believe that 'Jurassic Park' would become a major success, although KiShin Pictures might still manage to turn a modest profit from the concept and story idea of the film.

A particular group of friends who shared an affinity for KiShin video games gathered together to discuss their plans. One of them, named Alex, enthusiastically announced, "Hey guys, I've got tickets for 'Jurassic Park.' Who's in?"

Almost every one of his friends eagerly raised their hands, expressing a strong desire to get a 'Jurassic Park' ticket. Truth be told, they weren't particularly interested in watching 'Jurassic Park,' even though it was produced by KiShin's subsidiary, KiShin Pictures. They just wanted a free ticket.

With a smile, Alex glanced at the few friends who hadn't raised their hands for a free ticket and asked, "What about you guys?

The friends who had accepted tickets from Alex turned their attention to their friends who appeared disinterested in the 'Jurassic Park' tickets.

One of the friends, wearing a bored expression, remarked, "Hey, can't we just play some video games, bro?" He paused, glanced around, and continued, "We're not really into that 'Jurassic Park' movie. In my opinion, we should dive into my current favorite video game, 'Earthbound.'"

Those who shared the disinterest in 'Jurassic Park' nodded in agreement. One of them added, "Absolutely. I enjoyed 'Earthbound Beginnings'; it had a unique charm."

"Yeah, I thought it was pretty good too," another friend concurred. With that, the conversation shifted from 'Jurassic Park' tickets to discussions about the recently released video games by KiShin for the SKES platform.

The friends who had also accepted 'Jurassic Park' tickets from Alex joined in the conversation about video games.

Alex found himself at a loss for words before finally saying, "You guys... Do you realize that 'Earthbound Beginnings' is one of those video games that didn't get much attention here in the USA? Yet, you all enjoyed such an unpopular game that most gamers didn't like?"

Some of Alex's friends agreed and nodded in response to his words.

However, the majority of the video game enthusiasts disagreed. One of them stated, "Unpopularity doesn't equate to quality. That line of thinking is just plain wrong."

Another chimed in, "Exactly. We consider ourselves experts in video games, so we shouldn't discriminate against a game just because it's not well-known compared to others."

And another friend added, "You're right. 'Shovel Knight,' 'Celeste,' 'Secret of Mana,' and 'Earthbound' are all relatively new games from KiShin. They haven't yet gained popularity in the USA as many people here haven't fully grasped their appeal, unlike in Japan where they've been out for a while. In the USA, these KiShin games were just recently released, so their popularity hasn't had a chance to grow."

Most of Alex's friends, who were also video game enthusiasts, nodded in agreement. Some of the other video game enthusiasts began to comprehend the situation and nodded in understanding.

Alex, having taken in the conversation, nodded and suggested, "How about we take a break from playing video games for a change? Why don't we watch a movie once in a while? Conveniently, I've already purchased tickets for 'Jurassic Park.'"

The video game enthusiasts who hadn't received tickets for 'Jurassic Park' exchanged glances, and one of them chuckled, "You're really a die-hard KiShin fan, Alex."

Another friend joined in the humor and commented, "While I also have deep respect for KiShin when it comes to video games, movies are a different ball game. I'm not sure how they'll fare in the film industry, so I'll save myself the trouble and pass on their first movie, 'Jurassic Park.'"

Almost everyone nodded in agreement when they heard those words, but Alex furrowed his brows and made a persuasive pitch to his friends, saying, "Come on, let's give 'Jurassic Park' a try, guys. We might be pleasantly surprised." Seeing that some of his friends still seemed unconvinced, Alex persisted until they reluctantly agreed.

One of his friends offered a piece of advice, saying, "Alright, Alex, but as a friend, I'd suggest not setting your expectations too high for 'Jurassic Park' to avoid potential disappointment."

Before Alex could respond, another friend chimed in, "Yeah, Alex, we all admire KiShin for their video games, but as Rich mentioned earlier, movies are a whole different ballgame."

After that, several of Alex's friends shared their opinions and advice while Alex found himself momentarily speechless. All he wanted was to share the tickets he had purchased for his friends, showing his support for KiShin Pictures, a subsidiary of KiShin. It would be a waste if they turned down the tickets. Alex himself didn't have particularly high expectations for the 'Jurassic Park' movie; he was just genuinely curious.

Meanwhile, Alex and his friends remained oblivious to the fact that they would become fans of the film once they watched 'Jurassic Park,' which was scheduled to be screened in various cinemas across the USA tomorrow.
