ok dis real lmao

lowkey facts

is the gameplay > story opinion really a hot take? I'm pretty sure non casual gamers will agree on this

Or I'm just living in a f***ing bubble

It depends on what you define as non casual gamers

• FF7 isn't a top 3 game in the series

• DKC2: Diddy's Kong Quest is by far and away the greatest platformer on SNES

• Halo Reach ain't all that

• Chrono Cross just as good as Trigger

• CoD4 the best game in the series

• Battle royales and MOBAs are trash

• The Far Cry series isn't worth playing over any other major open-world action franchise

• Zelda wasn't that great until it went 3D

• Uncharted games are slightly above-average at best (bonus: Crash and Jak collections are still Naughty Dog's finest work that I've played)

• Tekken and OG Mortal Kombat >> Street Fighter

• Tetsuya Nomura's whole convoluted and retcon-happy approach to story design is extremely overhated

• Turn-based combat is great

people who've basically seen everything in games or are just good at them

I guess these people would be more into competitive games so they wouldn't care about story. But in general i think its 50/50, i see as many people prefer story over gameplay as people who think the opposite

New god of war and horizon aren't that good
Far cry 5 is the best one
None of the sports games out are as bad as people make it seem

halo 5 was f***in fire

If you think you have to play a game to decide if it's worth +$60 then one of those two things apply. Simple.

Uhhh Half Life be suckin' my d*** balls and asse

F*** off

Don't think you need to play a game before deciding whether its worth a purchase. But I'd say you definitely need to experience playing a game at least for a few hours for you to say its exactly the same as its predecessor

Ghosts of Tshusima and Horizon Zero Dawn are another example of cookie cutter open worlds that bring nothing to the table and both have boring ass stories. gameplay can only carry them so far when i want to fall asleep while playing it

no you’re just a weirdo taking out his personal frustrations on the internet, that’s why you stfu once i made you feel dumb

and i’m so dead @ this post not having anything to do with anything anyone was saying itt

ghost goty though right?

waaaaaayyyyy better than tlou2 right?

It is lol

Ghost story was great not the games fault you didn’t buy into the lore

Linear games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Open world

Control is the most unique game in the last 5 years (AAA production wise)

Shouldnt it be the games fault i didnt get into it?

I like games with deep lore (mass effect, skyrim, fallout, death stranding, halo) yet the game never hooked me. Put it down after 15 hours cause the story to me was not interesting at all. and i was sick of the gameplay loop which is the same s*** spanning 30+ hours
