I must have REALLY mised something in that game cause I so did not get that same impression. Comparing it to say, Count of Monte Cristo would be just wrong.

Not the point - the point is that it's not comparable to an airport novel, at least not in a negative light.

Ok so the best video games have to offer comes up to about halfway of the mediocre mark on books and movies. I only say thin because if you get the creme de la ceme of video games I can bring in the same of books and movies. So settle that Video game stories come up to the mediocre mark for books and movies?

I will settle on that point only if you acknowledge that it is not the highest point to which they ascend.

Which is to say, "There are videogames at least as good as the mean average quality for books and movies: some, it could be argued, may be higher."

Yes I will settle on that gladly. Twilight made vampires into pussies that I can probably bitch slap left and right, I wish that had never existed.

However video games are an entirely different medium, it's not liek the rest of the media where the person is passively engaged by the story, they actively participate in it. As such linear story telling or story telling with cut-scenes ad things is REALLY ineffective on video games. That's why I brought up HL and Witcher. One has ridiculous amount os choices the other has no cut-scenes in any way.
