| DevilRising said: I play games for gameplay and concept first and foremost. Everything else, story, music, graphics, are secondary. An ugly looking game with blah music and poor to no real story, that is still a BLAST to play, is still a fun game. A game that is gorgeous or has a "great story", but plays like utter shit, is a bad game, at the end of the day. |
This summarizes my feelings about games. People raved about the Last of Us, told me I had to play it. Friends wouldn't leave me alone about it. "Oh, man, it's the best game ever made!" So I finally buy it. (spoilers ahead) Top notch presentation. Great characters. Good story. But it was the same three scenerioes recycled over and over. Evade Clickers, shoot infected, shoot people, rinse and repeat. Throw in an occasional one-off sequence like the tank thing and the sniper, but those were sidesteps to the gameplay rather than evolutions. I was doing the same stuff at hour 20 I was doing in hour 2, and it was BORING.
Witcher 3. Same thing. Love the world and characters and story, cannot stand the controls or combat. I played like ten hours and gave up on it. Didn't like it at all. It doesn't matter how good everything else is. If the GAME part isn't fun and doesn't feel good to play and evolve as you go, then I'm not going to enjoy it.
