A good narrative helps sustain your emotional investment and interest in the action. You want to know what happens next.

I only agree in the sense that I don't think they're particularly good and the ones that are overrated are... yikes. But forgoing them completely? Nah. Biohazard is fun bullshit. It's just an issue when dudes take it seriously.

I gave up on narratives in video games a long time ago. Most games are designed around setpieces anyway, not story. Decide what environments/levels you want to have, then come up with a reason for the characters to go there. Reverse engineering.

id rather have no story than a bad story. but a good story can do a lot to carry a game.

I do. Now games became a form of media just like movies or tv shows, so story is important

It doesn't always. MHW is a good example of an amazing game with no story.

They managed to add cutscenes this time around, but forgot to add anymore depth than the previous entries. lul. Not that I think MH needs a story, but the cutscenes are a huge waste.

as someone who grew up through the 8 bit and 16 bit eras, modern cinematic stories in gaming is one of the best things I ever saw come about in my life.
