Videogames have garbage stories. They're pablum. Because of the aggressive censorship in the videogame medium (aided and abetted by gamers), no videogame features a film-worthy story. At their most "extreme", videogames verge on PG-13 garbage action movie territory. Keep in mind videogames feature animated characters, not people. Ratings are different for animated media. Good movies push people. They bring intense experience to the table. Insight. Important things. Videogames literally avoid all of those like the plague. Out of an infantile fear of government-led censorship that has been proven wrong over and over and over since the 1980s, gamers defend a system of far-more-perniscious censorship by private companies. And so they get what they have worked so hard for. Milquetoast garbage in terms of emotional content in games.
