News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

For me, the best games were always those with close to zero story, but great game mechanics. That is mostly true for competitive online games, but stuff like Anno 1602 worked, too.

If I want a story, I read a book or watch a movie. Games don’t need stories and if they have some, the story is usually not interesting to me.

Depends on the genre.

Mass Effect would be unremarkable without a good story. And so would The Witcher series.

If we are talking about Quake, then we don't _need_ a story(Arena). We can have one though (later installments) and that's fun if you care about that.

They you have things like Dwarf Fortress, which has a unique story every world generation.
