RenCutypoison said: It's like saying books are better than movies. There is one more dimension (interactivity), so it's different. |
Books are. But again they require more mental effort.
Each medium has it's strengths
Books
+ Enjoy the story at your own pace
+ Insight in characters thought processes
+ Flesh out the world and characters to your own liking
Movies
+ A picture can be worth a 1000 words, much faster delivery
+ Music perfectly synchronized with the visuals
+ Acting, editting, pacing all work together to give the story the greatest impact.
Games
+ Enjoy the story at your own pace and influence what happens.
+ You get to be the main character.
+ Detailed worlds that you can virtually live in.
