RPG Maker Forums

I know it's better to have both a great story and a good gameplay, but in the event that one is better than the other, which is more important in your opinion? To start off, let's define stuff:
  • Story: The plot, including the characters. Who are the characters? What do they do? How do they evolve? What happens in your game? So every aspect of storytelling.
  • Gameplay: The whole experience of the player, including battles, maps, story (yes I include that), progression, menus, etc.
So would you prefer a game with an okay story but a great gameplay, or a game with a really good story but an okay gameplay?

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
