i love complex plots, Planescape Torment being the perfect example, as long as they make sense!

This, Planescape Torment has the best story and writing ever in a videogame.

Now, some games are just convoluted and completely terrible. Xenogears, MGS2 and Xenosaga have terrible writing and mediocre stories. None of those are deep at all.

A lot of people will disagree with you on this one.

A lot of others will agree.

I watched yesterday this movie (won the 2010 Oscar for best foreign movie - should have won the Best Movie award, but anyway)

Seriously, it's impossible to say Xenogears or MGS2 or Final Fantasy [insert number here] have "great stories" after watching that movie. Or any game for that matter. Want to make a test, go watch that movie and see if you can say it.

 

But we are talking about games here.

I know, but games now are a lot of mini-movies filled with gameplay parts between them.

But what I'm saying is games are so behind in storytelling they're like nothing compared to movies like this.So I stick with gameplay and simple stories and get my fix on "superb" (not kidding, go watch that movie :) ) stories elsewhere.
