| Pemalite said: Story is also something very subjective. Case in point: I hate drama/romance stories, they put me to sleep, but I love Sci-Fi regardless how bad the story actually is. Another problem with story's and games is that, some games literally have no storyline, yet will still have an amazing story. Case in point: Minecraft. There is no story telling at all. - The story is your adventure in an endless world. Other games the story is your interaction with other players. (Like Eve.) Or as another example... Freelancer with the Discovery Freelancer mod. I like your take on reviewing, it's just hard to judge a game heavily on it's story as it's a very subjective/personal taste kind of thing. As for Red Alert 3 by itself... I enjoyed it for the gameplay, the Story was pretty forgettable. :P |
1. If the story is executed well (no matter if it's a comedy, romance, etc) it will receive a good score from me.
2. Games like Mincraft and the Total War series I don't give harsh reviews on story because, like you said, you are apart of the changing stories. The village concept in Minecraft, and the frequent historical events in the Total War series help create a linearity to the story though.
3. Eve actually does have a real story behind it, but most players aren't hardcore enough to spend weeks/months in real life flying to all the places you would need to go to in order to discover a lot of this lol (I love Eve!).
4. The story wasn't amazing in RE3, but it was funny (which is what it was going for) so that made it decent/good to me.
