StaceyPowers Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 If a game impresses you sufficiently with respect to its setting, characters, story, ambiance, or other qualities, are you able to enjoy it even if the gameplay itself is not outstanding?

m76 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Yes, case in point: Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, and even Detroit Become Human. Those are just awful as games, but great as character dramas and stories. I even hated The Last of Us gameplay, albeit my problems with that would probably be eliminated if I could play with a mouse+kb. SCE should really bring that to PC finally.

killamch89 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 As I said in the other thread, both have to be at least good enough for me to really enjoy the game. Otherwise, why am I playing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 If the gameplay were bad enough it would be a deal-breaker. I can get other games for fifty cents at a local used bookstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Yeah, games like Death Stranding that have an okay gameplay but the story is where the cake is at, is a perfect example in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Seriously - I don't really see the reason why they would make a game to be lacking in any part of what completes it. I don't seem to understand that reason behind it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Exactly the same feeling here. I play Rainbow Six Siege and Dota 2 regularly but have yet to sit down and play my backlog of single-player games, including the highly praised Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm a big fan of Rockstar Games. I'm a big fan of GTA. I loved the original RDR. But why is it so hard? I think getting older and having more responsibilities adds to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it's actually where they messed up in the making of Death Stranding. The graphics was very good but the rest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The gameplay to be frank with you it's the most interesting part of the game. When the gameplay is poor, it means the developers didn't get it right, gameplay makes everything interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 If the game is designed in a way that the gamer should be crazy about it, then I don't see any reason why he or she shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The gameplay is the beautiful part of the game, if it isn't outstanding then their is no point having the game installed or acquired. I lost my cool playing some sucking puzzle or anime like games cos of it's gameplay being too unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I usually try my best to stay calm and awake without feeling bored to at the game mostly on my fantasy. But we are humans we can't play more than our body permits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No metter how I feel bad, being agitated wouldn't help me in either way because I'm doing myself more harm, I am now matured to take gaming as an open way of making fun and not toiling for nothing that isn't real. .

Yeah - you definitely know your behavioral patterns on how do deal with your gameplay frustration. It never helps when you give into the frustration.
