Nah, just needs to not be made into the basis of the entire plot.

In Spider Man, there's an audio log by a person who is within earshot of you. That person could have just talked to me.

Also who the fuck leaves weird recorders around in 2018? Especially if you're evil

I'll post a thoughtful reply to this later. I'm going back into MGS 5 just to listen to all of the tapes I've found while I'm confused how these are important to Snake, and a form of media he uses in spite of all of the advanced technology at his disposal.

It's just a lazy way to have exposition or character development used by people who aren't good at writing.

I like them in Fallout, but that's about it.

Walking sections in games need to die. Give me a cutscene I can skip over this supposedly "immersive" walk down a corridor section.

I like audio logs. Mainly because I'm lazy. Much better than diary logs that you have to read.

This year, I have seen different gamers complain about basically every single way a game delivers exposition and story and say they all "need to go away"

- People complain about audio logs that play over your gameplay
- People complain about exposition being delivered while you travel to different locations
- People complain about overly long cut scenes that "break the flow" of gameplay

I think the only thing I haven't seen gamers complain about are text screens tbqh.

Do you guys just not want story in your games?

Damn right, especially those in Dad Space 3 about the soldiers in Tau Volantis.
