Why does game storytelling have such low standards? [MGS4, HL2, etc.]

A really high percentage of movies have a bad story. Such as avatar, overly simple, incredibley stereotyped and it's the highest grosisng movie ever.

Haha, Avatar has a great story :P too bad it stole it!

 

WOW i dunno exactly pocahontas story but that seemed at least very close... thanks for the Lols

 

 

and to the op:

I agree for HL... never understood why gordon was revered.

Thanks for killing any little hype I still had for MSG4.....

Have you played it? Or any of the other Metal Gears. even with all the problems MGS4 had, I still and many others still think its one of the very best games for thePS3

The gameplay's Outstanding, in MGS4, And hell the story's entertaining as hell the first time through it.

The story just doesn't stand up to multiple playthroughs as well as the other ones. As say MGS1, but I think that more has to do with it having half hour cutscenes in it, instead of smaller, frequent entertaining bits. And him trying to put to much story into one game. And theres a tad bit more plot holes
