    I never understand this mentality, like why even play a game if you’re too impatient to even engage with the content.

      I’m not here to watch a movie. I’m here to take this axe and hit monsters with it.

      I’m sure bloodborne has a very deep story. I had a great time just hitting stuff with that axe and occasionally shooting things. That’s the bulk of the content.

        This fine citizen won’t skip the setup in the video either. It’s integral to their enjoyment that one knows exactly how the step sister got stuck in the appliance! I salute you.

    This is why I love roguelites. I don’t need a story to tell me why I’m in this dungeon, just give me a gun and/or sword.

    I mean, I’m here to play a video game, not watch a movie catered to 15 year old, socially stunted boys. It takes a lot of convincing for me to stick around through “Hey newbie, you have to earn our leader’s trust by securing 6 mcguffins and a candy bar before they’ll meet you.”

    The psychology of breaking down a soldier in basic training … beat a new recruit to a pulp, physically, mentally and emotionally until all they understand is how to use a gun and shoot things that are alive.

    It’s fun when FFXIV has dungeons that wrap so tightly into the story, leading many of these players to realize they shouldn’t have been skipping so many cutscenes.

    Sultry voice: “Welcome to the final days of Amaurot.”
    “…shit, wait, how did we get here?? Why is everything on fire”
