I agree.

95% of games have crap stories. The games that try to put emphasis on story like Gears of war 2 and Uncharted are the worst offenders...cause they often neglect gamplay to tell a semi retarded story.

Of course there are exceptions. MGS1, MGS3, Chrono Trigger, Shenmue, Condemned...etc.

I absolutely disagree, Uncharted has great cut scenes & a decent story, definetely not "worst offenders"

Game like HAZE are worst offenders, as the devs HYPED up its story a bit pre-release & the rest is history.

While I respect your opinion, story in Uncharted 1 did not deliver a single new idea to its audience. Its a rip off from various movies, games and other forms of medium. Dead Space is another one.

Gears 2 is another mess. Hiring voice actors to deliver those lines hurts my ears.

But stories are always subjective. Soomeone that has not played Tomb Raider, or seen indiana jones movies or hasn't read Davinci Code would think the story is pretty kick ass in Uncharted.

Something doesn't have to be new to be good. Uncharted really impressed me as a game.

That being said, is the story really deep and original? No. But does it need to be? No.
