Books and movies should have stories. Games should have fun gameplay.

Not to say a game can't have a story but that's not the essence of what a game is. Where would we be today without Pac-man and Space Invaders?

Spoken as a true gamer. Who cares if the game has a storyline or not. So long as its fun, and played in video-format. (Does that even make sense?). Its a game to me.

Somehow along the way, games became way too complex.

Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

So true. Unlike WiiSports, Madden as one of the best stories in gaming.

I disagree, the love interest seemed tacked on and forced :P

Checkers has a great storyline

But chess has a better one!

There was a chess game on the NES I think, where you had to actually go into a battle mode to fight for the space. Anyone remember it? That was pretty awesome

Battle Chess.

I had it on PC, and I set up the board however I liked so I could watch every possible battle animation. Some of the really unlikely ones, like the king killing a queen, are the best.

I guess all the time I spent playing atari and arcade games wasn't really what I thought it was.

Dare I point out that many of the greatest games lack story, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Bubble Bobble, Counter Strike, almost every sports game ever made, .... I'm sure I could go on all day, but I think I've made my point.

Not only does Bubble Bobble have a story, but it's FANTASTIC, and the game even says so:

I learned a lot from that fantastic story.

What kind of story could they possibly have in GH/RB, crappy cover band to amazing cover band?

That was the exact story of Guitar Hero III, but you left out the part where your manager tries to get you to sell-out and play some has-been show on MTV or something, and you say no, and he shows you the fine print on the contract you signed, at which point you find out he's Satan and owns your souls and you have to have a guitar battle in Hell to save your soul.

I cant embed this thing. Its our favorite VG "journalist" admitting defeat apparently, but only for the UK. So he's a fanboy for the competitors that don't provide fun, innovation or value for money. Jesus, i almost feel sorry for him

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
