[quote=Desk Lamp]I find that a good story, along with smooth game mechanics and nice art and soundtrack, are key ingredients to an amazing game.Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us are brilliant games, but oh jeez that rollercoaster of emotions I get when playing...I like story based games, as well as some RPGs and a few shooters.[/quote]

I completely get from a design perspective how important gameplay is, it should not at all be neglected.
It's just that for me personally, gameplay will [i]always[/i] take a backseat to story (especially Story that provides choice) for me. Largely for those emotion roller coasters it can give you.
Plus those that provide choice their ability to have you make tough and hard moral decisions is amazing,

Mass Effect does it well by giving you all the time you need to think, you are really able to sit and think about it. Learning more about yourself in the process.
Walking Dead and Wolf Among us do it well by doing the total opposite, giving you a brief timer to react so you're forced to make snap decisions and live with the consequences just like it would be in real life.

[quote=Ace of Jacks]I wish I could cosplay man. But I lack the money and occasion XD though I guess you don't really need an occasion...the only "cosplay" I guess I've made are Squirtle (I'm proud of the shell) Sophomore year in HS and a Chell outfit I made a few days ago consisting of only two tank tops and sweats.Fandoms aside, I'm also a devoted gamer. If not for school and sanity, I would be a full-time gamer...Ever played ? Highly recommend that. Closed my laptop and just stood there...in tears[/quote]

Cosplaying get's a lot cheaper if you improvise with materials from home and/or shopping at discount and used clothing stores.

And yes I've played To The Moon, that was such an incredible game too. Definitely in my Top 5 games in terms of effective storytelling.
