Guys, you're ruining a great thread. Let's talk shit about how stupid video games are, and how awesome they could and should be.

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.

Hah, most of console games back then were just some stupid arcade games and actually thats what console games should be about. Nintendo is doing it right and thats why its winning this gen.

There are way too many PC games from 80-95 that even challange popular books in storytelling. Take ultima serie for example. That serie was alive from 80-99. Heres short version of the story in those all nine games.
