Poll: What do you think when people don't care about the plot?

[Richardplex]

Depends on the game. If it's something like WoW, then meh, I'll retreat into the Society of Lore-Whores (at least when I was playing it). If it's something like a Bioware game, then I get annoyed. But only if it's someone I know. If it's someone from the internet, I don't care.

It doesn't bother me, they bought the game and can do what they want with and we on the forums can argue over the plot why they have some fun. Ignoring the plot can help your experience as well, if the plot makes no sense and you sit there going over every detail then you'll realise how terrible it is. However if you ignore it and 'go with the flow' then you can just have fun. My final point is that YouTube is personality based, you don't watch people because of their knowledge for things like lets play. That's my opinions now go ignore them otherwise I start a thread about how people must ignore my opinions because I put them there to be ignored.

There have definitely been times when I honestly couldn't have cared less about the overarching plot of a game, or cared more about some tiny segment of it than the rest of it. For example, I honestly would have enjoyed L.A. Noire just as much if each case or desk had been their own self-contained story and they hadn't bothered with an overarching plot.

And it doesn't really bother me when others don't care about story. Plenty of games don't have them (or, at least, don't have one that matters). I have friends who actually skipped nearly all the dialogue in Fallout 3 and New Vegas because, to them, the fun was in the fighting and exploring, not listening to plot.

I feel very sorry for the developers and i think those people are ignorants and dont deserve a good product

Depends on the game and the situation. I have to agree with the sentiment that you're probably doing an LP wrong if you're skipping over the story. But some games are the plot equivalent to porn, thinly stitched together to justify the action, and I usually won't bother with them. And I can't blame people for not bothering.

Other times, I love the game, but the story's just BAD.

As long as gaming compagnies don't decide that " hey no one wants plot anymore lets no make any more games with plot to save monies " i don't really care . That being said , everytime , someone disregards plot in a well written video game story , i die a little inside .
