Wow man, he needs to finish a Dragon Quest or a Zelda or a Kid Icarus [Uprising] or any RPG/big adventure game really and fast.

What do movies have over games exactly?

There have been great stories in games since the beginning. This is just incorrect.

The fact that a movie doesn't also have to shoehorn gameplay in and that a Story is usualy secondary when compared to gameplay both for gamers and developers alike.

Mummelmann: "Jonathan Blow is terrible in general. He Blows."

What he wanted to say is:

Jonathan Blow: I am terrible at telling stories.

This!!!

Thats precisely what makes games superior, the fact that you actually interact with these characters on a personal level as if they are real as oppose to just watching something play out from start to end.

Sure, a lot of times, developers will rely on cut-scenes to tell their story-telling. But that isn't necessarily bad. Video-games are both game and video, after all.

But there are plenty of games that blend their story-telling with the gameplay, like Bioshock and Half Life, and then there are games that offer the best of both worlds like Batman Arkham, Uncharted and The Last of Us.

The medium is still young, all things considered, and story-telling is the aspect of them that have taken the longest to evolve, but it is evolving.

John Blow released Braid and that game didn't have good story-telling either. The ending was neat, but the rest was pretty badly delivered.

Seems hes just bad at it so he doesnt like it
