I found the story of Grimm Eclipse OK. I found it simplistic, but in a good way and it certainly had interesting potentiol. I just found the execution lacking. I thought it was good for a first full-fledged game (At least, I do think its RT's first real game. Do correct me if I'm wrong there), but like I said my main issue was the gameplay itself. A video game can have the best story ever (which mind you I do think is a very important aspect, and some of my favorite franchiches out there are video games with stories I greatly enjoy, such as Dragon Age and Mass Effect), but if it doesn't want to make me play the game on the account of how repetive and boring it is, then I don't consider it a good game generally speaking. A game that is fun to play with a very weak story can still be amusing. A game with a good stoy with a really lacking gameplay can only be saved if the story is really good. Alas, I didn't think that was the case with Grimm Eclipse.

I'm taking Far Cry 3 here as an example. Unpopular opinion, but...I don't think FC3 is the best in the series. People constantly praise its story to be better then any other games (which isn't that hard, but still) and I don't get it. However, the gameplay is so fun that it makes up for the lackluster story. It kinda makes you just shrug off all the things that don't make sense because you're to busy enjoying playing the game.

Perhaps. But while I can certainly see the appeal, that wasn't really enough to save Amity Arena for me. Admittingly I haven't played it in months though, as I got bored with the game and needed storage for my Phone, so I ended up deleting it. Maybe it changed, maybe it didn't. But it still just kinda feels like the average pay to win mobile game, just with RWBY characters. And as much as I like RWBY, that's not really enough for me to get sucked in long-term.

Agree to disagree on that then as, while I did found After The Fall admittingly not impressive, I did enjoy it slightly more then Grimm Eclipse. I can't really say anything about the comics or manga though. While I'm aware of the controversies surrounding them, I actually haven't read them all myself yet, so I'll save judgement for now.

I do feel like a lot of spin-off media RWBY has is good in concept, but its the execution that lacks.
