I never skip cutscenes in games unless I've seen them already.

Right, you're sitting there enjoying the story and taking in the cutscene and then BAM HIT .

I typically play games at a difficulty that gives me a challenge. That, combined with the fact that I am not very good means I die a lot. Which makes it harder to keep the details of the story straight.

I care a bit about it in DMC, but to answer the question in general no if the gameplay is good enough.

For me, story is important in every genre I play. If I dont like the story, then Im going to have to force myself to finish the game.

Well yeah, I kinda rely on the stories to provide characterization and intrigue that makes me want to keep going to see what happens next. I don't need the story to be groundbreaking or amazing but just playing through a game where I'm pulling off sick combos and finishing moves on hundreds of people for no rhyme or reason doesn't give me much to work with

Its honestly a miracle there arent more artists from his time in the shape hes in considering what they all did to their bodies

its pretty amazing that you can see, like, Robert Plant live in 2023 and he still sounds great

Scorching hot take incoming DmC was the only game in the IP tentpole to have some senblance of a focused narrative. Every other game in the mainline series are just sequences of stuff all tied together to sort of make a story but they're still senselessly simple. Same goes Bayonetta.

Playing DMC for the story is like watching John Wick for the plot. Both ideas are naive.

But this does not mean John Wick would still be a watchable movie if it had no plot

No

Recently I skipped a few cutscenes in hifirush. I get too excited about gameplay aspect

Only games where I focus on story are the ones w/ no combat.

I like collecting headphones and iems. My fave game of all time is DMC 3 SE on PC w/ style switch mod. IMO it the best button masher on earth

DMC's story is like a dumbshit shounen anime with the benefit of not going on for 300 issues. I look at more like a fun bonus that gives the game an excuse to have ridiculous cutscenes than anything coherent. The gameplay is definitely the main draw for those
