Maybe for some games, but for others it's nice to see some elements of great story-telling.
Of course, you still want to have good game mechanics, interactivity, graphics and fun, but the medium has evolved to the point where you can tell a good story.
- objclxt 14y agoI think it's very much a quote of its time - I agree with you that the problem is primarily one of medium, and at that time the medium wasn't able to adequately tell complex, compelling stories. The market has definitely evolved now - there's still a demand for great action games where story takes a back-seat to the sheer enjoyment of playing, but there's also demand for games with compelling stories (just look at the backlash Mass Effect 3 had, rightly or wrongly). It's like films, or TV - sometimes you just want to watch big things blow up, other times you want things that make you think.
