contra 3 sucks, not enough visual clarity for the amount of shit happening compared to the previous games and the topdown stages are hell

>pure story
The appeal of some of the games on the right isn't so much their story as their aesthetics, immersion, atmosphere. Out of the ones I've played, I enjoyed the games on the right more, but they certainly provide less entertainment over time than the games on the left. So if this is a desert island sort of situation I'd have to bring the left group.

If a game doesn't have a scoring system it's shit. This is a false dilemma. Just imagine how immediately obvious it would become how lame and gay the games on the right are if there was score attached to your actions.

PLUS TEN POINTS FEVER MODE ACTIVATE

Games are meant to be won. If that's not the case then it's not a real game.

Rule of Rose and Koudelka are on my 3x3 and I thought very highly of Planescape Torment and I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream too so it's an easy right for me.

Story games are not real games and the people who say this exclusively play the laziest slop they can get their hands on. It's always time to talk about slop but never real games.

>>724504009
Everything on the right is shit except for Drakengard (yes you faggots) and VTMB
The left is perfect except… replace Contra III with Hard Corps.

I'm not sure what you're saying but for me I'll try and play say an RPG game, then a horror then a platormer then a action game then a story driven game etc.

If I like played Tekken followed by Street Fighter followed by Mortal Kombat I'd quickly want to kill myself and quit playing vidya.

Tekken and Street Fighter are not remotely similiar games. And you don't play a fighting game and "mix things up", you play it for hundreds of hours, and you play it every day. It sounds like you don't like video games and your "action game" of choice is likely casual interactive experience sloppa

The left image should be Pong and Tetris cause all those gamea have stories. But who am I kidding, you dont even know what a story is and entails.

sure thing, THaC0 isn't real at all and the game is only dialogue trees.
Also a bunch of the games on the left have great stories like Vanquish.

Gameplay is the only thing that matters. I skip all cut scenes. I skip all dialogues. Any game which forces me into pointless dialogues I immediately uninstall. Story? Who cares. Once I decide I like the game enough I just explore the story outside of the actual game by reading wiki articles and watching videos.
