And all the best stories in games probably came out BEFORE 1995, since that's when this "cinematic gaming experience" bullshit took over the medium. The logical extension of cinematic gaming is making... a movie. |
I miss epic plots like this:

The best plot in video game is the one that dont get in the way. What I would call fast food plot. Kinda like the plot in pornos, it is there just to introduce different background and actors.
I consider some of the old RPGs so good because you had to fill in the blanks for most things. That way it felt more personal. The best of all was that I did have to deal with the scenario writer retarded philosophy. Some modern villains motives are bad enough to cause permanent brain damage: Wesker thinks the world needs judment so he will turn it into a mass of tentacles.
