StaceyPowers Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sometimes I see people who prefer open world games where you get free rein over a lot of decisions say that they can’t get into games which are written with tighter narratives and less or no player choice. Personally, I like both formats for different reasons, and both seem immersive to me. They just rely on different mechanisms to get the player emotionally involved. Where do you weigh in?

DylanC Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah, I like both formats for different reasons, too. I like that linear games, where you don’t make many choices, can gift us with a focused narrative; a story the developers want to tell. Whereas, I appreciate the freedom of games brimming with choice. That’s one of the many reasons why I love video games so much; they can all be so distinct and different.

Bravosi Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Depends on the game, honestly. If it's an RPG then for sure. To be more accurate, storyline orientated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
