Why do millennials prefer story games over action games?

Text games are older than you are.

Depends on the story, depends on the action.

Personally, I would rather play a game with an entertaining story then some braindead waifu buttonmasher.

>>383042114
This.

>>383041623
Because TV sucks and all the good story comes from games now.

>>383041623
Well, i dont

A good mix of both is nice though

>>383041623
I like a mix of both, having the best of both worlds are great for a video game and it's why I like TTYD.

>>383041623
I play almost only strategy and 4x games, which have close to no story since you're making shit up as you go. So gameplay I guess.

a mix is best but most late 90's / early 2000's story games were better than action games of their time, and action games without any underlying story usually lack charm

babbies have shit taste, why do you think walking simulators and quick time games are the hottest shit, these kids dont even like to redo a level if they die

Then why are roguelike games so popular right now?

i dont know how pic is related so im going to talk about how good that game is.
TTYD's story and gameplay are both very enjoyable. the gameplay because its smooth, has a high skill ceiling, requires player ability, allows for customization and choice, requires strategic thinking and skillful button input, and looks impressive to onlookers. the story is good because it has likeable characters in a world you enjoy being in and want to know more about. its overarching plot is competently paced as well.
all in all, i dont know why you posted that image, as its gameplay and story are both 10/10 and mesh well together.

thats for the hardcore autistic crowd the majority of the gaming market is for normie casuals. Why aren't the best genres with highest skill ceiling like shmups still the most popular

>>383041623
isn't it the other way around you goatfucker
call of duty and other fps games are the most played video games for years and they have as good as 0% story

>>383041623
what's a millenial, again? 1977~1995 birth date?

anyways, I like both, as long as they do what they're trying to do well

>>383046076
People still like a challenge in their games. DS is a good example. Not because it's the hardest game series ever (never played it myself), but because its popularity shows, that people still get statisfaction from overcoming a difficult task.

>>383047074
I was just shitposting I think the market is big enough that any type of game can get made and be successful in all honesty. A lot more girl gamers now a day so thats why shitty walking simulators are popular.

>>383046076
This, roguelikes are still very niche.

>>383041623
How old are you OP?

Are you too stupid to realize you are most likely a millennial?

>>383041623
I am an early millenial and I think story games are stupid and bad.

>>383048901
Anyone who isn't a millennial and still browses 4chan should probably kys themselves.

>>383049060
Agreed.

OP's probably too young to remember the Adventure game heyday.
