    Frankly, if the gameplay isn’t good, then I may not stick with a game all that much; I love storytelling and presentation, but I need it to be more than jut a “cinematic movie” where you just press buttons to progress and that’s it.

        I used to be “story-telling and presentation” first when it came to games, but frankly, a game is meant to be played, otherwise you might as well be playing a “visual novel” (like wht Japan has where you just click dialogue box after dialogue box).

          Honestly, I don’t mind stuff like Detroit Become Human, if the story is really good and it’s well acted, it’s like watching a movie where you have a bit of control over the direction of events. It’s just a different kind of experience. Ultimately, the question is whether I’m enjoying myself or not. :)
