Frankly people who see video games within the realms of art and do not want to see the industry make a turnaround to the early 1980's video game crash flouded with low budget trash, where gameplay and fun is seen as more important than storyline and message would do us best boycotting Nintendo and their systems.

Nintendo is driving our industry into an obsession with gameplay, family and fun.

 

so story is more important then gameplay now? dont get me wrong i like a game with great story but i play games to play a game if i want a good story i'll watch a movie

With video games reaching visual levels on par with cinema a decade or so back storylines should become the central priority of game developers in an interactive format. Plot should be the foundation of a game with gameplay built around it not vice versa. VG's made today without any effort placed into a deep, cinematic storyline are nearly unplayable for me. Nintendo's obsession with gameplay at the expense of storyline is what is destroying the artistic, social and political merits of this industry.

 

I couldn't disagree more. Gameplay is what makes a game succeed or fail, story usually doesn't work at all in games.
