| Killergran said: Yes. Opening with "you fail" is very enlightened and not at all offensive. Then you go on agreeing with me on just about every point. I find that strange. I also see you convieniently snipped out the point of my two questions there. The logical third question would have been: Does this mean that the graphics in games today suck compared to CGI graphics? No. I do not say that storytelling in todays games are bad. I'm saying it doesn't work, that it is not at all as powerful as it is in other media. In your words, there is a lot of untapped potential. You are right, it is not a fact. It is simply a opinion shared by such an overwhelming part of the people I have ever talked to on the subject that I feel like it's a fact (which is what I meant, but I guess I could have phrased it better). What I mean this thread, and the article, is about is to analyze why storytelling in games is not as powerful. Comments like: "It's good enough already!", "I don't care about story anyways!", "JRPG's have great storys!" are all valid, but does not at all touch this point. Myself, I read mystery novels sometimes. The only game that has ever come close to captivating me as much is the Phoenix Wright games. And they have almost zero interactivity. Care to explain why that is? If not, read the article. It at least makes an attempt at reasoning about storytelling in games. Oh. And ending a post with "You fail" is also very enlightened and polite. Thank you. |
Well, if there's one thing I'll apologize about it's thinking you would get my point. Sorry. With that said, I won't be going any further. You clearly won't be able to understand it and I won't be able to convince you.

P.S. The 'fails' were simply added as a somewhat comical irony... Which in itself failed, apparently.
