Describe your heart as a Gamer

[Nominsyt]

I have a Question for everyone who reads this...

What is it that you like most about a Video game?

You have 10 Stars. Spend each Star of them on the 2 ratings below, and then describe why your heart is like that.

(Important Note; Each Rating Must have at least 1 Star.)
1. The Story
2. The Game Play

As an example of how this is done, here's what I like most about Gaming;

-----------------------------------

1. The Story - 7
2. The Game Play - 3

Reason;

Ever since I started gaming, i've always been more attached to the Story of a Game. It didn't really matter to me if the games' Game Play was Terrible or not, I just simply liked it for it's story.

Don't get me wrong, I do have limits of course. if it was games like card games, sports games, and certain RPG games, then you wouldn't see me playing games like that. Because most games like that don't have a decent story around behind them in my opinion.

Can you repeat the question?

Mechanics over everything.

It's an organ in my chest that pumps blood through the vessels of my circulatory system. It's roughly about the size of a closed fist.

Story and gameplay doesn’t make a game a masterpiece, its the game’s overall experience that defines whether or not a game will be timeless.

I would like a large orange soda with no ice, please and thank you.

I'm asking what people like most about a Video Game. The Story, or the Game Play?

[King Of Lolis]

My gamer heart? Toxic and the r word i cant say cuz mods are snowflakes

As for games in general, eh id rather have more open world and less story
Im getting too old to remember all of the lore and remember which character is which so cant be bothered

Gameplay - 8
Story 2

Story is useless to me in a game, and usually only serves to detract from the experience. Graphics equally so, but they are good for finding what to avoid.
The prettier a game looks, the more boring it probably is to play. Realism kills.

[Mighty Alien Dwarf]

I enjoy storytelling in any kind of form, no matter how simplistic the gameplay may be. Well, maybe with the exception of clickers, but that genre isn't very concerned with its narrative.

Storytelling - 9
Gameplay - 1

Story - 8
Gameplay - 2

I generally place more importance on story because it serves as motivation for everythig my character does and affects my immersion in a game.

There are a few excpetions as sometimes gameplay is good enough to carry the mediocre story.

Well I did play I Am Setsuna, which is all story and no gameplay. That said, gameplay does really make a huge difference.
