| shio said: As for the Videogame Stories needing work: Bullshit! We have games stories that are as deep and complex as any movie (Planescape: Torment, Deus Ex); stories that make you enjoy every bit of action (Half-Life, Bioshock/System Shock); simple stories that make you feel warm inside (Grim Fandango), Great Comedies (Curse of the Monkey Island, Sam & Max), Gritty Stories (Fallout 1 & 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), etc... For every Great Movie Story, there's always a Videogame Counterpart. |
The problem is lack of naturalistic acting and emoting by video game characters, and plausible, relevant, real world flaws and motivations. In games you basically get lip service to these things; mere affectation and facsimile
So, what are the counterparts to Persona, 2001, Apocalypse Now, On the Waterfront, Taxi Driver, Vertigo, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, The Seventh Seal?
