Ye it is not, this argument is old and invalid. Telltale Games, Mass Effect, Witcher 3, Life is Strange, The Last of Us and many other games have proven just how strong a medium for telling a story video games are, they imerse you in the story in a way only videogames an, actively making you the main character, putting you in controll. So ye video games are a super strong medium to tell a story, its the devs that oftenly dont know how to use this medium well.

We'll have to agree to disagree. None of the games you mentioned, or any others that I've played can compare to a great book or film in terms of storytelling IMO.

Its your opinion I respect that. I personaly think each medium has its pros and cons with movies being the weakest of the 3, it tends to be hard to have the kind of character development you get in books and videogames in a 2 hour format, while the length of a videogame and specialy a book allow for a much better paced development for the characters. Often times the videogame devs arent good storytellers tough and the medium still have a long way to go cause even the devs that do know how to tell a story fall in some traps.
