| binary solo said: Perfect example of story telling in games =/= perfect story telling. Best story delivery mechanism = Books. Ergo perfect story telling in an absolute sense is only possibly via books. 2nd best = live theatre (as long as it's not a musical, IMO) 3rd best = movies / TV (as long as it's not a musical, IMO) 4th best = video games So, Uncharted 2 (according to Capt. Morgan) is the perfect example of story telling in one of the worst mediums for story telling. That's like winning a gold medal at the special Olympics. With compliments like that, who needs insults? |
And where do games like MGS4 fit on that list? Cause I really can't picture it as a book, a live theater or a movie (well actually I can on the last one but it would be bs)
Imo, games as an interactive experiences can be even better than movies or books. Even tho I haven't played Heavy Rain, I can't really tell if you bound with the characters or not, but it looks like a good example of what I'm trying to say.
