It's kinda give and take. First off video games simply don't have the best writers. If you're a great writer you're not going to pick video games as your profession, you most likely would aim for movies or barring that, TV if you don't want to write books.

So I mean I kinda get it, for me it's very hard to play a 30+ hour single player game of any kind any more unless I feel the story is half way decent. I need to have something to chew on besides just gameplay/exploration for that length of time.

But on the other hand, most video game stories do objectively kinda ... suck. If they were movies you would probably be a lot more critical of them.

I disagree with that considering some games stories are better than movies. Especially better than todays movies thats for damn sure.

Yeah I agree. I like cinematic games and love a good story. After reading books and watching movies for over 20 years I'm loving how games today can tell a story in such unique way. Take your avatar for example, great games with good storytelling and script, I'd say Max Payne 3 is one of my all time favorites. The movie? Omfg..
