But would you play a game of a genre you despise just to experience the story?

Might I make a suggestion?
Movies

I... can't think of a game genre I despise?

The closest you get is probably realistic racing games. I don't think I'd play Gran Turismo if it had an award winning story.

That and realistic sports games for me.

You have broader taste than I, then.

I used to dislike realistic flight and combat simulators. Then I got ARMA2. Now I love every genre

Well, in just about every genre I can think of at least a couple of games I like. I dislike racing games, but I like Micro Machines, Mario Kart and CTR. I dislike FPS's but I like Quake, Unreal, BLACK, Timesplitters and a few others etc.

I dislike flight simulators, but I like some Ace Combat games (Mainly because of the story. They're fun to play). Does that count?

Madden 13 and the Curse of the Doomball.

EDIT: nvm

Text adventures, then.

I loved Resident Evil 4 & 5 (yes I loved 5, it was a fun game fuck you guys), so I'm not really worried about 6. Capcom usually pulls through in the gameplay department. Usually.

5 would have been tons better if they didn't force co op.

This is true. I thought it had well-designed levels, though.. The gunplay was really fun, too.

Would've been a lot better if they had simply scrapped Sheva, though.

I fucking hated that bitch.
"I'm not... Gonna make it!"
"I'm coming!
Hold on!
I'm coming!"

*dies

Yes, it was fun, though.

The worst part was her AI when you wanted to play by yourself. God, she was a fucking retard. She'd be equipped with fully-loaded shotguns and pistols, and would drop everything when her grenade launcher ran out to grab more ammo for it. Dipshit.

I'm terrible at FPSes and they give me motion sickness, but I played Bioshock for the story (and the setting).

Nate's obsession with Ayn Rand wouldn't let him miss it. We all know Nate's motto: Fuck the poor! Only literally!

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't drop guns, but she'd use a fucking H&K Pistol on a boss even though she's equipped with a fucking Magnum.

She was an idiot, but the game is fun nonetheless.

I'm still the only person in the world who liked Ashley, right?

I thought she was okay, but I hated how pathetic she was. She could of at least tried to fire a gun instead of hiding in a fucking bin. Leon could of taught her how to use a gun or something.

Considering their generally dark and cramped environmen, arguably he's better off if she doesn't have one.

Yeah, I liked her, she was much better than Sheva.

I thought I'd already posted this, but no I am not looking forward to/want Resi 6. It looks like a big hulking sack of crap.

It's like Capcom is actually taking notes from those incomprehensible Milla Jovovich Resident Evil movies. "Wow, what wasn't shitty at arr. We shourd forrow suit!" - Capcom president Cap Commings. Cue AK-47's.

The Milla Jovovich movies are the worst things to happen to Resident Evil since Survivor.
Why the hay do they keep making them? How are they this popular?

Captain Commings is a fucking war hero you irreverent youth!

I didn't literally mean she'd "drop everything" as in physically drop her guns. I mean she'd be under fire by zombies, but would just run through them just to get more grenades when she had all this other ammo.

Their target audience is one part Dads who want to identify with something their sons enjoy but don't have it in them to actually play a video game, one part general stupids who will watch anything and one part complete fucking tools who see the face tentacles/big axe-wielding zombie/Leon and say "fuck yeah I love President Stevil". And one part me, who saw the newest one and was utterly blown away at the impossible world depicted. And the villain was that fucking computer child from the first movie.

I think you're talking about 'Extinction', that isn't the newest one, but it is by far the worst.

*Insert Jewish stereotype*

Uhh nope, Retribution. Saw it in the theatre last week. And I don't think you can quantify one as worse than the others. They're all drowning in the same mire of impossible pseudoscience, egregious CG and slowmo, and a bouqet of terrible writing that is dwarfed only by the half assed cast thrust down our throats year after year after year.

They're all telling the same story, all rooted within this fucking retarded mythos and thus one big gestalt slice of downs-syndrome entertaining, lowest-common denominator appealing crap.

But the newest one added another layer to the crap custard. It just couldn't stay away. It was a loud movie. So loud it drowns out all thought and emotion and feeling, so loud it shakes your teeth and whines in your brain saying you paid money for this. This is on you, you putrid motherfucker. Pay witness to Milla Jovovovovishs skintight bodysuit and buckle in. You are not getting this time back.
