Some of my favorite video games have little story. Books, movies, etc. do a better job of telling thought-provoking stories anyway. I'd much rather play a stereotypical crime story-style game like Hotel Dusk or a whacky story like the Phoenix Wright games than play a game with a pretentious story line (trying to act like they are the next great classical writer when they are just nerdy game programmers) that tries to be bigger than it really is. Games first and foremost are supposed to be fun. |
Fun is in the eye of the beholder.
Stories can give meaning and feeling to what you are doing in the game. A story doesn't have to be really thought provoking to be great either, it could just have a lot of well executed events happening in a well paced manner.
This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*
