!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Any game where the main focus is 'story' or being 'cinematic'. I just wanna play a game. If I want a good story, I'll read a book. If I want a cinematic experience, I'll watch a movie. Games trying to be anything other than games reeks of cultural cringe to me. Stop interrupting my fun with your non-interactive bullshit, games!
Haha, that's the exact opposite of me playing games. Ahhhh fucking endless grinding and fights, I hate it, I just want to know what happens next in the story ffs. This means I don't play story driven games anymore and just end up watching a playthrough videos, basically only sandboxes and puzzles have gameplay I actually enjoy. It's fun how people can be so different!
Yeah, I don't really go for the endless grind either. I gravitate more towards platformers and metroidvanias and so on. I'm currently replaying Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.
This was why I loved TLOU 2. It blends both things perfectly. The gameplay was amazing. I look forward to the next fight to test shit out... But also, I really want to see what happens in the story.
