| drboot said: There we disagree. A survey carried out in Europe showed that the number one thing gamers want more of in their games is good storylines. I for one agree, and I do noy pay more than 20$ for any game that does not contain a well written narrative. If a game doesn't have a solid storyline, I wait a few years and buy it dirt cheap in the bargain bin because I don't think the value it justifies the price. I have several friends who only buy games with good storylines as well. |
Don't Europeans play soccer games? Didn't Europeans buy GT5 Prologue? Didn't Europeans buy GeoW and Halo?
Obviously games do not require or depend on story to be good. Tetris, Super Mario, and anyother classic game stand testament to that fact. Gameplay is the core foundation of a video game, and all a story could do is add to that game. The only time a bad story truly detracts from game usually is when it distrupts with the gameplay mechanics (interupting cutscenes, attrocious dialogue that break the suspense of disbelief, etc). As long as a story is passable, I can have loads of fun.
BLACK, had a mediocre story, but I played that game over and over. Again, plenty of people play sports/classic games, and I'm sure you as well.
