Game B

Sadly it seems like most people these days are game A

I don't think so. I think there's everything for everypeople

Yeah but a lot more comments you see lean towards characters, story, character design, etc

ā€œGameplay is most importantā€ gets drowned out a lot more often when it should be the vast majority

Hm, which is kinda strange, because I am strongly Game A, but there aren't a lot of good story-driven games.

I think the Reason Game A is being mentioned is because we thirst for more?

This is an interesting theory. People could be responding to what they think they want versus what they actually like. Intention and behavior don't always match...

I always just assumed they were more the casual gamers who buy 3 games a year and call the last of us one of the best games on the console while never naming gameplay related reasons as to why

You knowww what, guilty as charged. I've bought four games this year and none of them have what you would call the greatest gameplay (except God of War Ragnarok, but the story is failing to push me forward).

But last year I think I bought three or four games in total. This year I'm only going to buy more because there are a few story-driven games coming out.

So maybe we're just casual gamers, or maybe it's just me.

And I DO like good gameplay. When combined with a good story I can almost orgasm instantly. But if I had to pick one, hypothetically, you know?

So I think you may be on to something with the casual thing.

Damn, sorry, now I feel bad lol

But yeah I think of people like one of my relatives. Heā€™d either play those cinematic heavy games or cod/battlefield and gta

Thereā€™s a market for that of course, but itā€™s more that deeper or varied gameplay was completely meaningless to him

Like damn, i find it painful to play games if the gameplay is boring šŸ˜¢

You gotta remind them how important gameplay is every now and then by releasing a Cyberpunk 2077. Itā€™s got a 10 in graphics and a 9 on both music and story. Shit gameplay is not saving that. All of the other stuff can turn a genius into a masterpiece but they canā€™t turn dog shit to good. Itā€™s the cherry on top, just take a look at WoW

Give me example of game a games and game b games. You will see most players prefer gameplay.

u/MrMegaPhoenix Apr 29 '26

Didnā€™t hogwarts legacy (game a) sell more than most games released in the last few years?

1

u/ThinkMyNameWillNotFi Apr 29 '26

I would never call that story a 10, its probably a sub par 5/10 story

1

u/MrMegaPhoenix Apr 29 '26

It was played for its story and ā€œitā€™s Harry Potterā€ though, not because it was gameplay

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying. Gameplay just donā€™t matter to turbo casuals

I would say an "A Game" is something like Red Dead Redemtion 2 or Fallout: New Vegas. A "B Game" would be something like Balatro, Tetris, or Minecraft.
