Good storyline anyone?

@DTG we play video games for gameplay,story,etc. We aren't expecting them to have a better story than movies, or books. That would be expecting way too much. I don't see how not having a better story than movies means the story sucks.

True...we can't have the same standards for storytelling in video games as we do with books

Correct Line of Thought: Books and Movies do not have better stories than Games nor vice-versa, they are simply different types of medium.

Of course that's not to say some games couldn't be adapted to literature or movies. Grim Fandango could very well do adapted to cinema, while Planescape: Torment, with a bit of work, could make a good book (it's script is already as big as one!)

Planescape probably would make a good novel as it has arguably one of the deepest plots in an RPG.  Mass Effect could also make a good adaption into a novel.  Hell, ME has a pequel novel that takes place before the game.
