Why games fail at storytelling

[Oyvoyvoyv]

It's an awesome article, and I found that each point is well made, and that I should agree with everything.

I didn't.

I love the video game story-telling, at least in some games. Or more specifically, I love it either,

- When the main character doesn't say a word, ala Half life, Zelda or Mario, or most of Nintendo's high profile games. 

- When you are essentially just helping the hero out. The plot is set, and your actions change the story slightly, but mainly, your mission is to make him/your team survive. You're playing a movie.

And a few different ones, but these 2 are the ones I prefer.

 

But really, the main thing is that the game knows how it tells the story.

 

Very interesting read, thanks for posting.
