Why I Hate Story Driven Games And You Should Too

Jade Empire came out a year later and follows the old formula like Deus Ex.

Did I say it's as good as Deus Ex?

it's kinda good for what it is, by Bioware standards. Not a good story, but gameplay is decent for an action-RPG

Tons of great story-driven games out there that still have great gameplay.

Name them.

Quality aside, it's not even the same genre, and nearly all video game follow a linear structure. Are you referring to the small hub both game have ? it's still quite a stretch.

Max Payne 3's gameplay is objectively very good
And as far as detective games go, LA Noire is still one of the best

I agree. Fuck cutscenes and invisible barriers

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

OP is a faggot.

You can tell great stories without cutscenes or heavy exposition just fine.

What about the hub? You don't really get a choice which missions you do or in what order. They're linear.

Story driven games and gameplay driven stories are kinda both shitty, but at least in the latter case the shit is kinda mine.

Demon's Souls would like to have a word with you...
