How is that not true though? Good guy beats bad guy to save the world (and perhaps get the girl) is arguably the most common basic story idea in every type of entertainment, not just gaming.

Some do it very simply, others expand and make it complex. Jack Bauer trying to stop a terrorist plot and Carrie Mathison trying to stop a terrorist plot are similar stories told in different ways. 24 was more focused on the action, Homeland was more about the people involved.

You must've never watched Game of Thrones....

No, here's where you totally lose me. I just get the sense that you have no appreciation in the variances that worlds which are deeply and intricately constructed offer in terms of discovery, newness and surprise. It's like trying to tell a blind person what blue looks like, that's how it feels.

Game of Thrones is actually one of my favourite shows. Stop assuming things and arguing points that aren't even there.
