People don't seem to read outside of what they want to see. 

Did someone accuse you of being arrogant and closed-minded for having said like?

I get where he's getting at as well as where everyone else  here (who disagrees with him). 

Videogames have become more than just video games, which is actually a bad thing if you really think about it (I mean really think about it).

Stories in video games have not been the same ever since the end of the 6th generation. Stories in gaming has (for the most part) always been restricted by the game's setting own setting. But ever since the surge in more sopshiscated hardware and more and more would-be develoeprs seeking the need to to express themselves more, games in general have suffered because of that. Develoeprs have deviated away from their own game's setting and allowed their stories to be the main focus instead of being one of the huge cogs (or components) that makes the game appealing enough to play. 

In other words if you want a compelling story look for the games that have a likable setting. Thats how stories in games went by orginally. Not by character developement, not by heavy overly dramatic dialog, not by its artistic look and, definintely not by the emotional turmoils of the character.

I don't want to play an ineractive CGI movie. I prefer a game with a good setting that will entice me to play.

I'll pick a game like Warcraft III over a game like The Last of US anytime. 

ITT: People who are hastily responding to a misleading headline and not actually reading the article.

Seriously guys, read the actual article. He doesn't say what's in that headline at all, and the author of that article should be massively reprimanded for his terrible headline.

With that out of the way, I do agree with him to the extent that many AAA games are trying too hard to be like films when it comes to storytelling. Games can tell stories in ways that films cannot, and that's by allowing the player to interact with the world. However, most modern games make users experience their stories in ways that are much like films, so in those moments you are more of a passive participant and less of an active one. There are ways to tell a story without completely ripping the user away from the experience as well as ways to not just simply "feed" the user a story. Games like Journey and Kid Icarus: Uprising are good examples of the former, while games like Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask are good examples of the latter.

It's just entirely hypocritical, because Nintendo games don't do that either. In fact, I don't see how non-narrative games are more immersive than games trying to tell a story. If anything, it's the opposite. 

Hes saying that story shouldnt be the main focus. Gameplay should be. Hes old school that way and the reason hes the most successful game developer of all time.

Have you,by any chance, played The Walking Dead: Season one, Beyond: Two Souls or Heavy Rain?

Well Ive played Heavy Rain and enjoyed it. Now that I know the ending, there is no reason for me to play it again...
