Kurumiee 03/05/24 4:34:37 PM #1:	Like, you finish it, and then what? It's not like you could return to it, so how is that your money's worth? I could play fighting games over and over again, NHL series, and so forth. However, as soon as the story is finished and you completed everything to 100%, the game will start gathering dust, as there is nothing left to do. Doesn't it feel like a waste of money to you?

Torgo 03/05/24 4:45:27 PM #11:	I feel the same way for the most part TC, I'm not that interested in following a traditional narrative story in a game. I'm more into game mechanics, stats, developing a character or party, exploring, etc... No one talks about how restraining a game experience to tell a linear, detailed story from a very fixed protagonist POV - as the director and developer intends often makes me feel like I'm going through motions to tick boxes as story elements are revealed. In a more open ended game I feel like I'm really engaging with the software and pushing up against it. But I think it's fine that others like narrative heavy games. I came to terms with friends who liked sports games early on as a kid. Not that I hate sports, I just wasn't much into them and found sports video an extra layer of boring... but then I see how people might think the same thing about a deep, slow, turn based SRPG like XCom or Disgaea. --- Current signature not available. <cite>Torgo posted [p:979205419] in Soooo, wha...

SoIidLegacy 03/05/24 4:47:29 PM #13:	Funny you should mention this. I recently played and finished Doki Doki Literature Club. Didn't quite 100% it, but close enough for me to have a sense of completion. It most definitely did not feel like a waste of money to me, because: I got it for free. The storytelling turned out to be very very good, much better than I had expected (to the point where in hindsight I would've paid money for it). There are some very serious and heavy storytelling elements which give some insight in how people can experience certain things, and at the very least I feel it has made me somewhat more considerate of other people's thoughts and feelings, which makes having played it feel all the more rewarding. As for replay value, there are quite a few mods out there for this game which explore all kinds of scenarios, some of which I most definitely intend to try out. --- Choco: why are americans so weird omniryu: To make a long story short, self esteem issue. <cite>SoIidLegacy posted [p:979205465] in Soooo, wha...

Like if it was a game that was only story, I'd understand, but games like Fallout/Elder Scrolls (which have a story) have far more play in them than sport's or fighting games.

If it's a good story, yes, you can obviously go back and enjoy it again. And then it's even odder when TC is not talking about "walking simulator" games where you just progress the narrative with little interactivity, but rather games like FF7 and Fallout where there is tons of gameplay content besides the story for you to enjoy.

BloodMoon7 03/05/24 6:40:14 PM #30:	I used to be an avid reader and I liked going back to books I read every so often. I consider story driven games much the same. Just cause I finished it doesn't mean I won't want to replay it. To me, fighting games seem more repetitive.

There's a reason ff6 is more beloved than 5, despite 5 having the job system, better bosses and better dungeons.

Sufferedphoenix 03/05/24 8:10:52 PM #36:	Kurumiee posted... Yeah I'm sorry, guys. I also don't really get going to concerts (for example), for the same reason. Might just be a depression thing. I remember reading something once that Said people who spend money on events/experiences i.e. concerts are happier on average than people who mostly just buy material things. But I get it. If you don't have disposable income to throw around you'd rather get something that's gonna last longer Anyways a game with a story can be great red dead redemption 2 was damn good and so are most metal gear solid games. I've mostly played fighters these past many years though cause I fell into alcoholism and story based games just ain't for me if I'm drinking. I'll wake up the next day and have forgotten story beats. I eventually learned some control though play for about an hour into my drinking then switch to something without much story. --- I put my heart and soul into my work and I fear I have lost my mind in the process <cite>Sufferedphoenix posted [p:979208744] in Soooo, wha...
