Some of the examples in this thread include MP3, Mario RPG, Re4 and there are others. The keyword in the thread title is "powerful narrative". Does anyone here truly believe the games listed above compare with even the AVERAGE (not even the high echelon) novel or film in terms of narrative??? They do not. The storytelling in any of the above games is a landslide away from what would be considered a decent narrative in any other media, heck, even comic books. It frightens me to see people naming these games under a banner of narrative excellence. Granted both the Xbox and Ps3 library are largely comprised of games with awful storytelling but both systems have a legitimate list of titles with story's that are at least decent or better. If I didn't know anything about the Wii and received the above replies to the question of games with powerful narrative, you'd bet anyone worth their salt and BASIC knowledge/experience in literature and film would avoid the system like the plague. |
I'm glad that your 5th post on this forum is of such excellence. Bravo! I think we can expect great things of you, although the pleasure will no doubt be short if you continue like this.
