Good story outweighs it because I won't be coming back after I finished the campaign
what a moronic fricking question, gameplay obviously
good gameplay
if the story's the best thing ever but the gameplay is cow manure mixed with the dead rotting corpse of a squirrel then no one's gonna play it to see your story
Good gameplay easily.
Movies and books are for story. Games for gameplay.
Good gameplay first and foremost. The game having a good story is just the icing on the cake.
Yes
>that thumbnail
Whoever made that video is a Black personhomosexual and OP is a double Black personhomosexual for posting it here.
Gameplay was dogshit in Gta V though
and the story was dogshit in tlou
that pic is incredibly ironic
Anyone who doesn't say gameplay doesn't play video games, simple as.
Good story, no one on this board discusses gameplay of 20-30 year old games, people still discuss stories of those games.
not a single game from 30 years ago has a good story frick off
People still talk about
>FF4,6,7
>Chrono Trigger
>Half Life
>MGS
No one talks about
>LoZ: Link's Awakening
>MK2
>Secret of Mana
>Virtua Fighter
>Syndicate
>Castlevania Rondo of Blood
>noone talks about secret of mana
>people talk about final fantasy shovelware
lol
More like
>boring and lifeless
vs
>12 hour "game" with 30 minutes of gameplay
gta v is literally a driving simulator with cutscenes
Do you want to watch, or play a game?
I'd rather play
Plotgays can read a book, watch a movie, or if they really gotta feel "in the experience", they can see a local production
Games should be no less than 95% playable (excluding qte), and I'm tired of pretending half a game's budget going into plot (writing, excessive scene animations, and VAing for said scenes) isn't a problem
I prefer I game I like to a game I don't like.
Good gameplay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>good story
Good gameplay can entertain you for hundreds of hours while a good story is a one-time thing.
Everyone says this but most praised game of this year has shit gameplay and somewhat good story.
>most praised game of this year
What game? Every single major release has felt like the best thing since sliced bread.
Rem4ke? TotK? BG3?
Games can have a good story but they should be games first. They should offer a different level of entertainment and immersion than films and books, not replace them as a storytelling medium. Great stories should be reserved for books and TV shows. Feature films are mostly a visual medium, so technically TV shows are the ‘real’ storytelling medium.
>do you prefer a video game or something that aspires to be a Hollywood movie?
GTAV isn't what I think of when I think of gameplay, let alone good game play. Shit is some of the most bare bones basic ass open world boring ass gameplay.
Gameplay because nobody can write these days.
If it had less "walking and talking" moments, less "omg look this is so sad" moments, probably yes? They put a lot of effort on those NPCs for them to be a nothingburger threat to the player.
To be quite honest good story. I could watch a movie or read a book but I don’t engage with those things compared to the interactivity of holding a controller, playing a video game. Even if all I’m doing at the moment is walking around or running with the character I am the one in control, and I like that.
Well you really need both, and they need to work in close synergy with each other.
BUT
Of the games I remember most strongly, most of the time it's due to one or more of
>story
>worldbuilding
>level design/architecture
>general atmosphere/vibe
>sense of presence and exploration
>expressive, well-acted characters
Pure gameplay considerations are usually secondary. A game is unlikely to end up on my top 10 for its weapon balancing, inventory system, or input buffering unless those factors contribute heavily to those listed above. There are exceptions- Spelunky, Counterfeit Monkey- but given the binary choice in the OP, I'd have to pick story.
Strange question because both the story and gameplay are (much) better in 2.
>So you think Last of Us 2 > Last of Us? The gameplay is better in the second one.
You are correct, however as always it's a bit more complex than a simple black and white answer. The story in Last of Us 2 is so utterly horrible that the all the really big improvements (ie. gameplay, visuals, music, sound effects, voice acting) just can't save the game.
Just like when buying a car and you they care about is horsepower, even if picrel has a better engine (somehow) than say their older car, they likely wouldn't swap to a Fiat Multipla because that car looks hideous. It's kinda the same with TLOU 1 and 2. Two is better in almost every regard than 1, except for the characters, the dialogue and the story itself.
More accurately, the gameplay is better in TLOU2 than in TLOU 1 but it's a refinement of a genre that is totally played out and stale.
Is the joke that neither of those has either good gameplay or a good story?
Without good gameplay everyting is pointless but I do need to enjoy the personality/flavor of a game too. Story is one way to do that but not actually necesary, some of my favorite games have basically nothing happening storywise and are appealing just on soulful environmental design: Beat em ups and action games like DMC, any given Fromsoft game etc.
I used to be a giant MGSgay but I really can't stand overly long cutscenes anymore at all.
>be me
>pic rel
>have both
I’m banned from file upload I guess but the pic is from Hollow Knight
