When did you realize that story is just as important as gameplay?

>posts a "game" with zero gameplay, all story (no the phone thing doesn't count)
what did you mean by this?

>>712951126 (OP)
Someone tell that to the Nintendies

>creates a bunch of retarded CERN schizos who plagued the internet for a decade
cultural negative

>>712951416
Still way better written than your favorite VN though.

>>712951126 (OP)
if ryukishi wrote s;g it would have been good

>>712951126 (OP)
For shit like jrpgs a good story is even MORE important than the gameplay, otherwise why are you putting 100hours into these slogs?

>>712951126 (OP)

I guess it was the first time i played a JRPG. I just can´t invest 50+ hours on a game with no story or bad story and poorly written characters.

>>712951126 (OP)
>Steins;Gate
>good story
This game is still one of my biggest /v/ letdowns of all time.

>He wants "cinematic" movie games as the standard

>>712951126 (OP)
For me story is way more important than gameplay (as long as it remains decent)

>>712952139
Half Life has a story without interruptions, it's just that nintendo boomers don't want stories in their childish games

>>712951126 (OP)

VNs are /v/core, this has been decided already.

I always knew that. Don't listen to the /v/ hivemind.

>>712953006
Filtered. And you fell for the meme.

Higurashi and Umineko are for patricians of literature only.

>>712951126 (OP)
SG is better than Expedition 33 in every way.

>>712953180
umineko is pretty funny at leastill give you that but higurashi is certainly one of the worst things ive ever tried
i will never touch r07 again

the only game i know with an actual good story and isn't a movie game or visual novel is assassins creed 1

I am more than receptive to their faults such as the atrocious pacing and always listen and respect people who dislike/hate them. That is, unless they spout buzzwords (that aren't even true) and refuse to discuss their problems like a chickenshit bitch. This is usually what happens on /v/ for 07th Expansion unfortunately.

>>712952116
I played the game for time travel, not for the adventures of a retarded autist and his loser buddies.

>>712953335
higurashi gets much better after the first chapter. it's the best thing i've ever read

>playing games for story
Yikes!

>>712953672
Couldn't be me, I hate stories.

>>712951126 (OP)
You are retarded, gameplay always trumps all. They're fucking games.

>>712953659
>it's the best thing i've ever read
You just have low standards. Even from what's posted in this thread alone SG is a better story.

>>712953659
I actually feel the exact opposite. Ryukishi always writes incredible first chapters with great mysteries but then fumbles in the payoff.
>inb4 "but they're too slow!!"

>>712951126 (OP)
That is not something I will ever realize because that would mean I am no longer straight, white, or male.

Are these Nintendies in the room with us right now?

>>712951126 (OP)
With vanilla SMT V

>>712954446
chapters 4 and 5 are the best. 4 has an incredible atmosphere with the riots and the two police traveling around

>>712954736
To be fair, it's a really fucking good book.

>>712951126 (OP)
I can tell you play almost exclusively JRPGS because you think that shit is true.

>>712951627
Maybe you should make the gameplay actually serviceable so that those hundred hours don't feel like a slog in the first place, kek

>>712952397
VNs are games.

i used to think gameplay > story because it's what's interactive and every story has been told already, with only small variations being new. but lately i've been feeling like every variety of gameplay has been told as well, and now i look for the presentation, atmosphere and feeling that a game evokes, and story is part of that

>>712955997
>if I repeat it to myself enough times, maybe I'll believe it...hehe...

>>712951126 (OP)
When did you realize Steins;Gate is not that good?

>>712956756
It's the best visual novel posted in this thread.

>>712956845
not anymore

>>712951197
You're too much of an incel neet to ever fuck anyone like Kurisu

Is the VN worth reading if I already watched the show?

when I got ff7 in 1998 at 6 year old

>>712957467
Well it is longer. Depends on how you felt about the show I guess.

>>712951126 (OP)
It’s not, idiot. Retards like you are why last of us keeps getting made

>>712957671
TLOU has better gameplay than your favorite shooter

>>712957671
Maybe you should play the game in OP before rushing to judgement?

Go back to your roguelike deckbuilders Pablo

Visual novels are the worst of all worlds. They're bad games, bad anime, and bad books.

yea thats because the gameplay by itself sucks so it needs a good story

>well it is but its natural
>well its actually mostly natural
>well its not causing any harm
>well its too late to do anything

>>712951126 (OP)
it’s literally not and gameplay needs to drive the story. ff16 in particular has the story drive the gameplay and it’s a boring fucking slog

>>712951304
Good story can carry bad or no gameplay.
