Listen "339 - Story vs. Gameplay"
Episode Synopsis
What's the story, RPGFan? Do you think it's worth a look? It seems kinda familiar, like a story from a book. RPGs and adventure games very often have an outsize focus on storytelling, in part because so many of them are about a group of characters growing and changing over the course of their game. Naturally, RPG fans of all stripes would prefer their games have a great story and great gameplay, but we know that's not always the case. In today's episode, five panelists decide whether they prefer a great story or great gameplay when only one of the two is an option, and highlight several games with particularly good narratives with lackluster playability, or vice-versa. Featuring: Michael Sollosi, Audra Bowling, Niki Fakhoori, Dom Kim, Peter Triezenberg; Edited by Anthony KrolikowskiOpening and ending music by Miles MorkriGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: [email protected]: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
