This. Devs trying to tell good stories should revisit some old games, like Half Life 1 and 2, and see how a game can tell a story that is integrated into gameplay, instead of trying to be "cinematic".


Yes. There really should be only one way to tell good stories... ¬_¬

What more, there really should be only one game genre.

No. There are many ways to tell a good story. Cinematic being one of them.

While I'm not saying that approach is inherently wrong, it does bother me that devs are taking easy path with it and not trying to do more of Environmental storytelling. Of course, later is probably order(s) of magnitude harder to do properly, so I can't say I don't understand why they're taking cinematic approach so often.
