Melz ⚜️Jan 26, 2021Tbh I think games need to go back to being actually fun and not microtransaction dlc tests before they all focus on doing better stories

To add more to the discussion, GMTK just released a fantastic video on a unique way of storytelling in a video game!

Mr MotionI recently learned a few months ago, that there are people out there who straight up do not care about the story in games, and just skip all cutscenes and get straight to the gameplay. Like not even for s*** for COD, but for games like Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Down, etc. s*** blows my mind
I’ve gotten this way and Idk why.
Jan 29, 2021I'm one of those casual gamers that just plays CoD and sports games most of the time and at this point, all these companies are fumbling the bag and I need different games to play
Give me anything good (like the Spider Man games, GoW, Jedi Fallen Order, etc. are all amazing) and I will play it. Hitman 3 is a game catching my eye rn

Especially Watch Dogs 1.
It was just a generic revenge story with a generic batman type protagonist.

By skipping cutscenes on a first playthrough you miss half the experience and end up not knowing what to do next

Watch dogs games are kinda meh all around tbh, but legion had a dope ass mechanic of being able to play as any npc

Lamareh dont see the correlation between interactivity/story let the game be the game and the story be the story you are playing the character that the story designer created
Breh it’s literally one of the only things the medium has to distinguish itself from other forms of media

I’ve never played a game that was ruined by a bad story but I’ve played ok games that are elevated by a good story

Assassins creed annoyed me when the killed off Desmond and the real world s*** became and after thought. They coulda did a lot more than that, but to ME it just seemed like a convenient excuse to be able to make game after game, without having the stories tie into the real world stuff.
Now all they do is just hop from one culture to the next and a new story after new story. Even tho I enjoyed Black Flag, and Unity for their gameplay.
And now all they did is just copy Witcher 3. So they've gotten rid of their story and their gameplay style.

Yeah same, i loved the first 2 assassin's creed games, but the formula got stale quickly. Releasing a new one every year didnt help. Then they took a kind of hiatus and came back with origins which was quite good for an ac game, but now they're facing the same problem they had with the first 4. If they took more than one year making these games we could get more quality titles but it seems they havent learned anything
Feb 1, 2021Most game stories suck and i play games for the gameplay. Even something as highly acclaimed as TLOU has an average story compared to a good movie. Games are not made for long, dry-ass cutscenes.
Thats why i regard Dark Souls as one of the games that mastered that problem. You can get a really deep story if you want to or you can just play the game without ever bothering. Its interactive. How games are meant to be.
Feb 1, 2021!https://youtu.be/fQgmPJYUiqw!https://youtu.be/NyMndWpihTMStardustWas watching these 2 videos and i realized how games still tryna replicate movie stories.
I recently finished yakuza 0 and while i enjoyed the story a lot, every time a cutscene played i just wanted it to end so i could beat some people up and play arcade sega games. And that's just one example. Tomb raider, halo, Uncharted etc. all have interesting gameplay but you have to sit through 10 minute unskippable cutscenes where you have no input and just need to sit back and watch characters talk. At a certain point i ask myself why didnt they show these stories as movies, like what did these stories have that they needed to be games.
Also, i hate when the main character im controlling has different values, makes different choices and behaves differently than i do in cutscenes. I feel like games should tell MY story since IM the one controlling the main character, and when that doesnt happen i feel a certain disconnect, like why am i playing this game since nothing i do will change the course of the story. At this point im just playing an assigned role. I love games like shin megami tensei, zelda botw and cyberpunk, games where you are the main character and you decide what to do. One of these may not seem like the others, but i genuinely think zelda botw's story is not the cutscenes but your journey through hyrule. I loved talking with my friends about what routes did we take and what shrines we solved, it made the experience more personal and unique and we all had funny anecdotes. This is something movies and books can never achieve, so games should use this privilege to its full potential.
Ultimately what im trying to say is i hope games in the near future can advance in their storytelling, since their interactivity is something other storytelling mediums dont have, yet game companies prefer using cutscenes instead of the game worlds and sidequests to build a story. Also i hope game stories can be more about the player than a third party we just happen to control.
Play Nier: Automata bro, the lore and story of the game are directly connected to the game mechanics

listening to music while playing a single player story-driven game is mf blasphemy
Story based games suck d***
- Feb 7, 2021
The problem with these stories is that most of them are half assed but the developers put that to the forefront instead of the actual game
