You dare to cultivate without money?!

An elder asked a young man if he wanted revenge for being humiliated by a strong man and disregarded by his master. The elder offers to pass his power to the young man, who is amazed to find centuries' worth of skill appear on his phone. The power is from the Heavenly Court, where users can borrow without interest for 30 days. The young man worries it might be a 'magic loan,' but the elder assures him that it is safe, as the daily interest is very low. Zhang Yu snorted coldly and closed the ad.

What are the advantages of games being better without stories?

Games without stories can often have a more straightforward design. This means that developers can focus more on the gameplay elements such as controls and level design. For instance, in a platform - jumper game, they can make the levels more challenging and creative without having to worry about fitting a story into it. Also, it can be a great stress - reliever as you don't have to think about any plotlines, just the immediate action in the game.

Yes, I do. Some games focus on pure gameplay mechanics like Tetris. The simplicity of just arranging blocks without a story is very engaging. It allows players to fully concentrate on the task at hand, improving their skills and reflexes without the distraction of a narrative.

Another aspect could be that some players might find stories in games to be a distraction. They might be more interested in the strategic or skill - based aspects of the game. For example, in a competitive multiplayer game like Counter - Strike, players are mainly focused on their shooting skills, teamwork, and strategies. A story in this context might not add much value and could even take away from the intense, fast - paced action. Games without stories can be more about the moment - to - moment gameplay and the interaction with the game's systems, which can be a more appealing experience for certain types of gamers.
Far Cry Games: Would They Be Truly Better Without a Story?

Well, it could be better for some aspects but worse for others. On one hand, without a story, the developers could potentially spend more time polishing the gameplay mechanics, making the shooting, driving, and exploration even more fluid. However, the story is what draws a lot of players in. It's what makes you care about the characters and the world. For instance, the unique settings in Far Cry games, like the tropical islands or the wild frontier, are made more interesting by the stories that unfold within them.

I don't agree. Stories add depth and emotional connection to games. For example, in 'The Last of Us', the story of Joel and Ellie's journey through a post - apocalyptic world makes the gameplay more meaningful. It gives players a reason to keep going, to protect Ellie, and to face the various challenges. The story enriches the overall experience and makes it more than just a series of tasks.

Entertainment production expert

Li Guanghui had transmigrated to a world that was similar to Earth. There were no songs that he was familiar with in his previous life, and there were no movies that had swept the box office like crazy in his previous life. The era of self-media had not arrived, and then... The songs he wrote (copied) made people famous one after another. The movies he filmed broke box office records one after another. He even redefined internet celebrity. "Teacher Li, a fan said that a female singer entered your room. Are you two in a relationship?" "No, we were just discussing the lyrics." "Director Li, a reporter friend waited until a certain actress entered your room late at night. Are you guys playing some kind of unspoken rules?" "No, we're just discussing the script." "I'm really not forcing anything! If you don't believe me, you can ask them. They were the ones who took the initiative." Li Guanghui said helplessly.

[Quick Wear: Lord God, don't tease me.]

As one of the four managers of the 3,000 Sectors, Tang Xingmi didn't expect that one day, Ming Qi, the villain Demon Lord in one of the planes in the Immortal Demon Realm, was about to destroy the entire plane. It was all the host's fault for courting death. If the world was destroyed, the order of the 3,000 Sectors would be disrupted, and the other worlds would also be affected or even collapse…Tang Xingmi found three other companions, but they were helpless. The three heartless comrades had asked her to seek help from the Lord, but she had no choice but to go now… The Sovereign didn't say much. He looked at her leisurely and frowned. Then, he entered that plane. Miraculously, the entire world had returned to three months ago. The three thousand worlds had stabilized, but the Sovereign hadn't returned. What was going on? The system's meatball who had caused trouble turned into a three or four-year-old child and slipped in front of Tang Xingmi in fear. He really couldn't get angry at this bun. Fortunately, he still knew how to kill that courting host. Otherwise, he would really be angered to death. "Supervisor Tang, the Divine Lord's soul has dispersed into the three thousand Sectors. For this incident…" "What? Then what should we do?" "That's simple too. The Sovereign said that you want to save him personally, collect his divine soul, and let him be reborn!" Tang Xingmi was in a difficult position. It was indeed her fault. She had to take the blame. "How do we save him?" "Bind to the system. Attack the villain and eliminate the Darkening Points. Your favorability will reach 100. Once you complete it, you will receive a wisp of the Lord God's soul." Dumbfounded.“What ？？？” Ding ~~~ The system binding to the villain boss has been successful! Damn it…
