I’ve been seeing a lot of people online saying games are very bad at storytelling because your playing it while learning the lore, I think that’s BS but I wanted to see if gamers such as yourselves agree or disagree

    I don’t play games that try to force a huge narrative on you. Those aren’t games, they’re things created by people who were not good enough to get their story told in traditional media and not good enough to flesh out a decent game in and of itself.

    Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It’s expected to be there, but it’s not that important.

    In other words, set up the setting of the game and then for the most part, stop telling your story and let the game speak for itself. What a concept.
