Why did games want to start becoming big elaborate stories? I blame Metal Gear Solid for PS1. It had way too much story bullshit to mask the repetitive "stealth" game play which gamers have grown to hate IMO. Games with killer game play didn't need stories. Mario 64 didn't have endless cut scenes. You just jumped around getting stars. Hideo Kojima should be dug up and put on trial for his crimes against gaming. Discuss and debate all this.

MGS stealth gameplay is great and the story elements are what give it character. If you don’t like it just play Ball X Pit or something. There’s room for all kinds of Games afaik.

I watched my older brother play through it completely champ. I don't like games with story it's like kissing a prostitute. Not needed. Gameplay or GTFO

The games are less stealth oriented now because gamers hate stealth in games IMO
