The Great Debate
>>725723713I'm with Carmack, story in games is like porn, it could enhance the experience if done correctly but it's not required to be good. Storyfags should watch good movies and read good books instead.
>>725723713a delicate mix of both makes for the best games
super mario world is a 10/10 video game, yet its story is virtually nonexistantconclusion? gameplay > story
>>725723713>all uncslop
>>725723713Gameplay is temporary, story is forever anon.
>>725723713Left objectively mogs right
>>725723829A good gameplay could last you a lifetime. A good video game story is only powerful in its first playthrough.
>>725723774In proper RPGs, story and gameplay are the same
>>725723803im sorry could you speak english?
>>725723713I prefer ludo.

>>725723908The gameplay would get stale after a while.
>>725723713Story is not mandatory, but it improves games, provided that the story is good.Some games need story by default too, as they are based on the complex narrative being present. (like many crpgs).
For me, it's atmosphere.
>>725723908What about if you account for your media literacy improving as you grow older and become smarter?I'd say you'd get more out of playing Torment again at 25 then you did when you played it at 12.

>>725723713Unc ahhh games
>>725723774>dude movies are for good visuals. Read a novel if you want a good story...>dude novels are for good prose. Read history if you want a good story...>dude history is for good facts, listen to epic poetry if you want a good story...>dude epics are for good poetic verse...To infinity. Have some imagination.
>>725723713usually gameplay but why is Etrian Odyssey and Romancing Saga 3 in "pure gameplay" when they are turn based RPGs? Many of the games in the "pure story" category are way more involved gameplay wise.
>>725723713Almost all of these are a mix of story and gameplay
>>725723713>half the "pure story" side is actually more gameplay leaningcurious
>>725723713The debate in regards to this is that Splinter Cell mogs Metal Gear Solid. Kojima's games get mogged not only by Thief, but the game you refuse to talk about or include in 4chan's top games list for many years due to weeb bias and leftist brainwashing. There was no excuse for Hideo Kojima to interrupt the gameplay as much as he did. I like Metal Gear Solid but you've gotta admit that it was excessive.
>>725723713Almost all the games on the right are troonslop, there are even yurishit "games", curious.Why are troons averse to good gameplay?
>>725723713>pure gameplay>final fantasy 12>pure story>MGSbased retard
>>725723713>pure story is filled with anime cringe or word vomit wrpgsCarmack proven once again
>>725723713expedition 33 does bothit does both so well, I initally didnt want to play it and I watched people do the story so the experience was like a movieI liked the story so much, and the gameplay looked so fun I ended up playing it even knowing what happensno game ever came close to being this good in both regards
>>725724430Strawman. I'll never argue against movies and video games are emulating them anyways.
>>725723713>>725725384Splinter Cell is just Thief for Retards. MGS at least has a totally different approach to stealth gameplay.
>>725723713Looking at your list makes it clear for megameplay>story
