In Bartz' Tomb Raider topic, someone said something to the effect of "don't look for good stories in video games" and "people won't play a game with a good story if the gameplay is bad"
Bulls***. I find that the story, in those games that actually have stories, is really what I play games for. And a bad plot will make me unwilling to continue playing a game, or at least delay playing a game. For example, say what you will about the gameplay, but by the time I hit chapter 11 in FFXIII, I'd had enough of the plot. Which is a shame since I quite enjoyed wandering around Pulse. One day, I will finish FFXIII, but that day is far off. In general, the opposite is not true, I will slog though s*** gameplay if the story is good, or even if it is just entertaining, I'm looking at you Catherine.
I'm probably, if not the only one, one of few user here who actually enjoy the plots of FPS games. I will not claim they are great, but they are entertaining. I'm not sure where I was going with this... And I've lost my train of thought.
Yeah, if this seems disorderly and jumbled, that's just the way my mind works some times.
