Story in Video Games

[miyabi95_]

i'm mostly about gameplay and unique visuals, but having an intriguing story that doesn't drag on too much is the next best thing. good examples: Twilight Princess (at least after you get the master sword iirc?), Sonic Adventure 2 (doesn't make up for the frustrating level design), King of Fighters series (you gotta admit they make quite an effort with worldbuilding)
meh examples: Odin Sphere (it tends to drag), non-Alpha Street Fighter series (everybody was kungfu fighting and that's about it), Blazblue and Guilty Gear series (too many characters to focus on, and prequel stories that most players don't know about)
