          This is not necessarily true. Some of my favorite games have no story lines and I play them over and over again. Games that are not driven by story as a "hook" to catch players do not need a story line. It's as simple as that.

                      Anybody who would say "real gamers" don't need something that a large number of gamers consider intrinsic just comes across to me like one of those gamers who thinks they are "leet" and that everyone else is a "noob" and who only care about being better than everyone else, and not about actually playing and appreciating the game. But that's just me.

                        Dude, watch "The Decline of Video Gaming" or something like that.

                        It's funny and has something to do with what you said.

                          And what does it mean to be a "real gamer". What are these "real games" that these "real gamers" probably play, I'd be disappointed to know I've only been playing "imaginary games" up till now especially since the ones I've played kicked so much ass.

                            Its like the 3 word story here on FFR game threads. Whats a story with no plot? Random words jumbled into wanna-be sentences.
