That's not really a game story, It's just a movie segment in a game.

>"REE THAT WOULD RUIN THE GAME"

So, your gameplay is good, but taking out the story would utterly destroy it....

>game has you press buttons to play
Wtf what is this? 1997?

Sometimes they are sometimes they're not.
Sometimes when people say the game has a good story they mean the plot. Sometimes they mean how they deliver said plot. Sometimes it's not to do with plot at all but the general writing and direction of the game (what happens, when it happens, how it happens etc). Or the atmosphere, the setting, the ensemble.

But it's not worth being specific so all of it becomes condensed to 'story'.

holy fuck the autism on display here

Literally Souls lore. That's why the series is trash.

>>377783915
If in the middle of Dark Souls there were a cooking mama segment, would you say it's part of the game?

>>377784120
Literally meaningless reply.

>>377784228
If it were stated in a way you immediately understood you'd realize how bland and uninteresting it is. You had fun discovering the lore, that doesn't mean the lore when viewed from a bird's eye perspective is good.

>People call it game.
>90% cutscenes 10% gameplay

It's true. Any linear narrative can be told a thousand times better in print or film.
>B-but you really identify with Joel because you play as him!
Yeah fuck off, the "carting an innocent through a post-apocalyptic hellhole" has been done better a million times before in a million different works. BotW has one of the best video game stories because it ditches those linear shackles and dares to tell something minimalist and free-form that couldn't ever work in a different medium.

Video games are such a diverse medium that you don't even have to craft an open narrative to tell a compelling story. It's just that developers fall back so often on tropes that no one thinks of how the player will experience the whole thing.

Except for those disgusting memories. They're so bad that being optional isn't good enough for me. I'd rather they not exist period.

>prease sympathize with pretty girl as she cries like a bitch for no reason

I don't care about her family or whatever. the game never gave me a reason to care. Let me kill Ganon and explore without the threat of a cutscene looming over my head.

>CN hates Adventure Time and we'll never get a show about Simon and Marcy
Ugh

>>377785814
I almost wish you didn't have to save Zelda and could just kill Ganon. Zelda is the worst character in Nintendo history.

Dark souls doesn't have a story
>M-muh item descriptions

>>377785869
And cut scenes aren't substitution for a story. They're something completely unrelated to the game that attempts to add depth and fail every single time.
