This seems needlessly reductive, especially when it's based on the necessarily narrow band of your own experience.

I have played far more games than I have seen movies, and even with said limited experience in movies it is painfully apparent that video games are completely outmatched.

 

@commonman

We're comparing the best here from each group. Because I can tell you even Scary Movie 4 was better than games like GoW when it came to story.

God of War isn't the best that the medium has to offer - that's what I was referring to when I said "necessarily narrow band of your own experience". I'm talking about in games, not in movies.

The question is abotu story rather than narrative, so I will of cours acquiesce that games as a medium have a long way to go, but ther are some games that I think compare favorably even with very, very good movies.
