gameplay or story? whats more important?

[nemesiswontdie]

MGS4 only for me i am glad that he got a good ending with his family.

STORY > gameplay

cause of your favorite character going bad? Raiden going cool?

Raiden was always cool. And so was the Big Shell.

But anyways, MGS thread.


Anyways, games like Battlefield don't need a story, there enjoyment comes from the gameplay and gameplay alone. There immensely fun to play either online or off.

That's a pic of Battlefield 1943, a half remake of 1942 coming out soon. You go around and capture enemy spawn points and they capture yours, and you have different soldier class's and you can get in vehicles and planes and basically use any vehicle to kill the enemy. And i think it was one of the first games to be able to do that. Though now a lot of games have copied off the Battlefield series.

Anyway that is a prime example of a single player game that has no story yet is immensely fun to play. it does have online to though just so you know.

MGS4 only for me i am glad that he got a good ending with his family.

Yeah i did like his ending with Rose and his son, that was actually really good.

Ah well there's your problem. I understand now.

I love shooters of all kinds and most are basically just gameplay with little to no story at all. I could play ones like Battlefield and Battlefront forever.

That's Battlefront, it can be played in first or third person, so can Battlefield.

Ill look for the MGS thread too.

I play less and less games nowadays.
I only really plays games where the storyline immerses me so I carry on playing to see the final outcome, I find many of today's games bland, boring and over the top in fact since the jump from 2D to 3D gaming I don't find gaming anywhere near as fun.
Games can have there perfect orchestral surround sound atmosphere too but i'll always prefer SID tunes.

I partly agree that games are getting more bland, but i think that is because of the shift to focus on story more now.

I liked the previous two generations better when there was much more focus on gameplay. Almost all my favorite games are last gen.

i call bs on that first part. its the opposite way around.

Exactly it's all shoot to kill nowadays, I see gaming now like what happened in 83 there all clones of each over.

Every new game, in every series now claims and boasts about it's new vibrant and lovely story. And how all the focus goes into the story. Most of the time there not that good, and less and less focus goes into gameplay.

I was actually very happy when Infinity Ward said they would not be putting more focus on the story in Modern Warefare 2, and that the main focus would once again be the gameplay.

[nemesiswontdie]

again i call BS. look at all the new games like KZ2,GOW2 for example they focus on gameplay more than the story and thats why their story sucks.

I don't have KZ2 but GOW2 is a great game. I didn't really care much about the story in GOW, not every game has to have a super complex story like MGS. If they did then MGS would be nothing special then would it. It's great that MGS does have a good story, but not every game needs one or should try to have one.

I liked the gameplay, atmosphere and visuals in GOW2, and that is what the game is about. The story is there as means from point A to point B, and that is all it's meant to be. It is not meant to be like MGS, whereas RE5 tried so hard to be MGS and failed badly in terms of story and ruined the gameplay at the same time.

see? creators are focusing more on gameplay and graphics more than the story and the story is what makes alot of people play the game.Graphics and gameplay dont make the game the story does. with out a story there is absolutely no point in making the game.

Last i checked Gears was a successful and great series without the story, and so is Halo sadly. So i think there are even more people who plays games because you know, there games.

But it seems they don't visit this site though.

There are some types of game that if they had a story it would only get in the way and ruin everything. A perfect example of this is Battlefield, in BF Bad Company they tried implementing a story to it and ruined it all. Bad Company sucked ass. It's gameplay was horrid, but it had so much promise and potential, sadly to be ruined by a focus on story.

Battlefield and Battlefront are two pretty successful series too you know.

[nemesiswontdie]

last i checked MGS1 was a success too.

its a little sad to see that all people want to do is shoot things.its game play this game play that well i say FUCK THAT. when you focus on the game play more you fail epically.
