Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The Souls series, subnautica, and Hitman all do this well. Minimal story, skippable cut scenes, and fantastic gameplay and environments.
In all of them you can dig deeper if you want, but it's almost always optional.
There have been very few games where the story is what grabs me, I want fun and engaging gameplay and character development (stats, perks, weapons, etc).
The one exception is Mass Effect, but that game just has everything.
Mass Effect was an excellent series.
Here’s hoping the new one carries the torch
Haven't played the others, but Subnautica is a perfect example. It caused me to really want to explore further.
I don't like being spoonfed a story through endless exposition pieces of dialogue and reading - I much prefer the Subnautica approach where it is experienced rather than told.
