The gameplay shouldn't be that shallow, don't worry. But you are correct when you say this game's storyline should be it's selling point, hence why I'm so excited for it besides it's unrivaled presentation. Talk about BEAUTIFUL visuals, the best I've seen besides Killzone 2 and Crysis.

He is saying the more shallow the gameplay, the better

 

Look, most of the world doesn't want "deep" gameplay. If they did, the Wii and it's intuitive, simple controls wouldn't be wiping the floor with the competition. Better yet, tv's, movies and books wouldn't be wiping the floor (in terms of audiance size) with all 3 consoles combined. People want story, the faster you can give that to them with the least amount of work and distraction the more they're likely to follow. You;re a gamer and may not agree, but most of the world doesn't play games, and doesn't want to because it is too much work, effort for less conventional awards (beating the game rather than reciving an emotional or mental punch from a film or book, for a fraction of the time and effort necessary)

Aren't those the same games that lack storyline?

I mean, if gameplay isn't the selling point and story is, explain to me the sales of Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, the success of Wii Sports and many more non-story driven games.
