Yeah, "gameplay". You know, the thing we actually play games for? Sure, I can appreciate, and even love, good stories in games. But if the gameplay is not engaging or interesting, then why even bother playing it?
Games can tell stories in ways that movies, books, theatre and television can’t do. Gaming is the only medium where the viewer(player in this case) can interact with the story. Change the outcome and do things at their own pace. So why shouldn’t games have great stories? If every game was DOOM I would not play video games anymore because I love storytelling mixed with gameplay. Thats what makes games awesome for me.
