No, since I dont play dungeon and dragon type board games, but its important for me in video game. Does it make me less of a gamer? This thread and the replies I get are getting quite ridiculous. Like I said before, I respect that story isnt important to all gamer.

Why not? Why shouldnt a game have a good story? Whats wrong with that? Games with good stories>>>> Games with bad stories

"You seem to forget that when you read by pressing the X button and enjoy it, your playing."

No, that is just a form of flipping a page in a book, merely that it's usually one way. You really are twisting the definition here.

Yeah well, people who buy Mario games dont exactly have a high standard when it comes to stories.

And plus, people dont buy Mario games for story, they buy them because its mario. Platforming fun. Thats it

No, it just means they find those games good to play. It says nothing about their standards for stories.

Not sales wise.

Sales dont always equal quality

Quality is an opinion. The majority thinks Super Mario Bros 3 for instance is quality, while the minority thinks games like Heavy Rain or God of War are quality.

Yes thats a form of flipping a page. As long as you enjoy reading, your playing. Personally, I like when its coupled with good gameplay. Seems like Ill have to post the definition of playing once again:

"To occupy oneself in amusement, sport, or other recreation"

I dont see your big problem with me saying I like a good story in a video game.  In any case, if you guys keep being as unrespectful, Ill simply stop replying here. I thought this thread was in the "gaming discussion".

Yes probably, but that isnt the point. Other games are suited for a storyline. Wheter or not theres a story, doesnt pose any problem, both games are games. Its the gamer choice to prefer one or the other. Its also the gamer choice to dismiss one for being story heavy or for having no story. Why are you guys making so much of a problem out of this statement?!?
