I didn't say all game stories after 1995 are bad. I'm just saying that I think storytelling in the medium has taken a backseat since the introduction of cutscenes, gigantic HD graphics budgets, and sandbox gaming.
I think stories in games will actually get much better, but I don't think any of today's blockbuster franchises will be responsible.
I really think gaming history is perfectly following film history. In the first few decades of the cinema, every few years there were ridiculous innovations, both technologically and pacing-wise and plot-wise. Also for the first few decades nobody took the medium seriously and there was no serious film theory and it was considered garbage by most people, even as it made more money than anything ever.
