have you not seen the success of the COD Modern Warfare franchise? Their single player game is essentially an on-rails shooter, with pivotal story points completely scripted (you "press the buttons"). There's no choice, there's no branching (of the story).
But people like to shoot, like to run around, etc. It feels like they have control, and it feels like the heroics in the story is their contribution.
- lmm 2y agoI thought we were talking about a story-focused game, which that is not.
