The bold is a contradiction. Interesting story but don't care about the characters? How can the story be cool if the characters don't grab you since the characters make the story? Ugly faces? It has the best face designs in the genre. All Zelda enemies are generic, which also make that a strange con. Just saying. Most enemies in games are generic outside of bosses anyway as the enemy types are rehashed. |
It's not really, you can enjoy a story but not care much for the characters. I feel that was about the Commonwealth Saga books; the story is deeply intriguing, but the majority of the characters are fairly forgettable. They're mostly just tools to tell the tale.
On the gaming end, TLOU is a good example of the reverse. The story itself is unapologetically generic, and very little actually happens on a macro level. What makes it so engaging though is the characters, and how they interact with each other and the world. I adore Ellie and Joel, but my interest in the story at large is fairly low.
