Nope. Alot of RPGs work simply because of the storyline, where the actual gameplay means very little.
| Snoopy said: I don't mind a good story, but seems games that have an average story while having great gameplay and replayability get shitted on. |
Nintendo games get really high metacritic scores on avg.
Most almost too high, reviewers are biased for nintendo games, many of which have little to no story.
| Snoopy said: Nintendo seems to be on the worse end of this to be honest. |
No it doesnt. Im pretty sure if MS or PS launched a game without singleplayer storymode, say a multiplayer only game, reviewers would sh*t all over that.
Or a game with very little or no story even in single player mode.
| Snoopy said: Nintendo games are about pure fun and yet everyone seems to give it lower reviews because of sparse story. |
Again no they dont. Nintendo has really high avg metacritic scores for their games.
| Snoopy said: I can understand if the story is innapropriate, but if the gameplay and replability is there and the rest of the game is average it deserves a great review by default because it succeds at what being a video game is all about. FUN. |
Video games are about more than fun.
Also what is fun to you, might not be to another. Im sure theres people out there that dislike games without storys and find them boreing.
