I'm with Vinny, I hate this conversation (when @danryckert is taking about how he "plays games to play games").
Like he said and Alex said, it's a totally valid way to feel, but it makes me feel like shit, because I'm over here on the opposite end of the spectrum where I don't like shooters and mostly play story focused games. So what does that make me? A person that plays games just for stories? Like I said, I get where Dan is coming from, I just wish he wouldn't shit on what other people like so much when he's expressing his opinions.
Why should it make you feel like shit if I'm not into a game? I said several times that it seems like people are into Pyre and the story stuff and that's cool. It's just not for me. Enjoy games however you want to enjoy games!
@danryckert Oh it wasn't about you not being into the game! It's just how you were saying "I play games to play games" as if games that don't have traditional game mechanics in your eyes aren't as valid or "real games". I know this isn't what you meant at all, but I just wish it didn't feel like you were bashing stuff that isn't your personal preference so much, just because you don't like it. I really appreciate you listening to a non-traditional (23, female, story-focused game lover) regardless!

I think me and Dan want the complete opposite in games. All I want is story, lore and world building. If your game doesn't have that, it doesn't matter how well it plays, I'm just not going to play it.
I agree with you 90% of the time. A game has to be really incredible in some other aspect (gameplay loop, art style, trying something really unique, etc.) for me to enjoy it if it doesn't have story and world building.
