    Have you even played TLOU? And the Witcher? Really? It’s pretty much ALL gameplay!

    I honestly don’t think you’ve ever played any of these games beyond the opening scenes.

      Meh, too much story for me. I know there’s some gameplay, but it’s a lot of walking around while just observing stuff happening, too much for my liking.

        You clearly have no idea what playing these games is like. You should’ve tried them before forming your opinion.

        Ok but a branching story is far from the same as a tv show

        If you prefer point-and-click shooters or FIFA or whatever that’s fine, but it’s not like good RPGs are any closer to cinematic games/walking simulators than them - RPGs & walking simulators share a story, whereas point-and-click shooters & walking simulators share repetitiveness and little to no replay value

        For the latter there is an argument that they’re more of a sport than a media form, but why not just go to the gym or join a sports team? It follows the same logic as why not watch a movie instead of playing a game with a story
