I gotta agree with this guy. If a game is not fun, if a game is not entertaining in some small way, then I don't care if you wrote the gaming equivalent of a charles dickens novel, you won't get any points in my book. Some people disagree with me and are heavy story enthusiasts. This is fine. I only take issue when someone goes into the thread of an upcoming fun game like SR3 and proceeds to say shit like "this game is immature and needs to grow up and shit". You know what? Maybe you need to grow up. Maybe if you enjoy story and think that a game will have a crappy one, than just don't buy it. Don't call me immature because I like having fun. I don't know about you, but I don't want all future games to look and play like this: http://www.molleindustria.org/everydaythesamedream/everydaythesamedream.htmlMr. Omega said:Gameplay. If I can't play your game, or I don't LIKE playing your game, all that extra stuff isn't going to matter that much to me. I don't care how good your story is, if I think getting to advance it is a chore, not a game, than it's not worth it.
If I think the story might be good, but the gameplay is bad, I can just watch an LP on Youtube. At least then I can skip to the parts where the story advances and not have to drudge through terrible gameplay.
Quoted for truth. Video games are interactive by definition, and if the method of interacting is clumsy it defeats the purpose of the medium.Mr. Omega said:Gameplay.
