We need more Eye of the Beholder and classic Bard’s Tale and classic Wizardry, and less fucking Baldur’s Goddamn JRPG Story-Heavy Bullshit Gate. Story-heavy shit has basically killed gaming. Go watch TV for your fucking story, kids, and leave games alone.
“Boo hoo games have changed it’s all different now story is good blah blah”. Bullshit. Do you want to play chess and every other move have to stop and be forced to watch a part of some fucking medieval war movie? No? THEN WHY DO YOU WANT THIS IN VIDEOGAMES?
Okay okay. So let me get this straight. Story bad. You realise story has been a centre point of gaming for a long long long time.
Second. As someone who has played games for 25+, there’s plenty of games out there if you just want constant combat. Doom for example. Halo. Overwatch. Apex. Dark souls.
Even combat heavy games have stories though. Overwatch has background lore and in game story now.
Doom gotta save everyone from bad alien dudes.
Halo. Stop the covenant using the rings.
Dark souls… Well dark souls is so lore heavy it’s hard to keep up with the story.
So if you don’t like story in games. Well maybe stick to space invaders and leave the good games to people who actually appreciate good games.
Story killed gaming? Nah… story-driven games are what took games out of the basement and into the mainstream. One can only make so many “I have a gun / sword and I kill the things” games before it gets repetitive.
You know the story isn’t between moves in combat (with rare exceptions)?
A lot of video game writing is bad, but computers allow storytelling that isn’t possible through other mediums. BG3 is choose your own adventure but actually good.
