| Shadow1980 said: I've been playing video games for over 30 years. I grew up back when few games ever had any story beyond a bare-bones "excuse plot" outlined in the instruction manual. To me, gameplay trumps everything. If a game is "cinematic" or not, or has a good story or not, is not a pressing concern for me. While those things may help add to the experience, at the end of the day I judge a game primarily on whether or not it was fun to play. A good story may make a good game even better, nothing can save a game with bad gameplay, not even Oscar-caliber storytelling. |
You didn't start with text adventures? A lot of games were nothing but story in the early days.
Grim Fandango has bad gameplay, it's one of my most favorite games ever because of the writing.
I enjoyed both back in the day, from rogue to sierra adventures, still do. Both have come a long way.
