Why do people want games that are just stories without any gameplay, these days? Why not just watch a movie for that? - eviltoast

    Meh, too much story for me. I know there’s some gameplay, but it’s a lot of walking around while just observing stuff happening, too much for my liking.

      You clearly have no idea what playing these games is like. You should’ve tried them before forming your opinion.

      Ok but a branching story is far from the same as a tv show

      If you prefer point-and-click shooters or FIFA or whatever that’s fine, but it’s not like good RPGs are any closer to cinematic games/walking simulators than them - RPGs & walking simulators share a story, whereas point-and-click shooters & walking simulators share repetitiveness and little to no replay value

      For the latter there is an argument that they’re more of a sport than a media form, but why not just go to the gym or join a sports team? It follows the same logic as why not watch a movie instead of playing a game with a story
