But uhm, what I think I meant to say was why would you spend 6 paragraphs describing the story when you could just link to wikipedia, the important part of a review is the review part, not the part where you talk about the shower scene in persona 3. Obviously if there is a need to establish context then you can be free to do so, but if so many people have already written plenty of story synopsis/gameplay descriptions of a game, it would make more sense just to say what works and what doesn't, and link to a previous work to establish context. Think of it this way--what if everytime you had to work a math exercise, you had to show everything, even the most primary steps, eg. that adding two odd numbers gave you an even number. Such a thing would be absurd--in the same way, restating that which is assumed a priori seems like a waste of brain power.
