I know you're trying to shitpost but I somewhat agree with you. If you ignore the shitacular story, fallout 4 can be fun role playing game devoid of story.

By that logic Borderlands is also a fun RPG.

Do things like DOOM count? I mean technically there is a plot but it's like a few lines of text

>>342828589
that's quite a stretch. You ask for a good game with no storytelling, and you use it to conclude that a game is good because of its storytelling. Tons of game has minimal storytelling because it's part of the experience, but it is not the storytelling that makes the appeal. Actually, I'd say it's generally the case rather than the opposite

no, but half life (the first one) was a huge success because of its gameplay and BECAUSE the story aspect was kept minimalistic (it was good, and it was part of the success, but it's anything but a book). This is why tons of people prefer the original half life to half life 2.

Emergent storytelling is still storytelling though. I'd say half the fun in games like M&B or CK2 comes from these little stories developing during gameplay. Also, M&B has some lore to its world. Not a lot of lore, but lore nonetheless.

Books as in stories. Posters, poetry, diary entries, and set pieces. They hold the attention, add continuity and character. Without some element of story it's just a very lonely and boring experience.

They are essential to a good game.

If I asked you to tell me the story of the last souls game you played in one sentence, what would you say?

You couldn't have gone through the whole game without any motive for your character beyond, "kill all the things". Your not Gronak for crying out loud.

you could say the same thing about music, doesn't make video games into concerts. They improve the experience so why not have them ? but it's not why people play video games, otherwise they'd just play a disc or read a book. And you'll find counter examples like multiplayer games, some sand box games and whatnot, but it's beside the point

a great amount of games have some form of storytelling, but most fun games don't really focus on story at all. just make a quick introduction and send you on your way, like quake or super mario bros

I've played walking sims with music. I've played racing games with music. I've played with puzzle games with music. Music doesn't make a game fun. Story does.
