Quote:But hey, if a game has story, that's good too, and I HIGHLY disagree with you about game's stories never being able to stack up. I like the story of Final Fantasy 6 far more than just about any movie I've seen in recent years. This whole "stories are for books" thing sounds to me like some old timer trying to keep things like they "should be". Well, things are chaning... MAN! Rock and roll FOREVER! Eh, I don't know, point is, these people do know what the heck they are doing, by trial and error. Give them some CREDIT man, it's due!
Definitely... many games deserve the "bad story" label, and most of the rest probably deserve "decent at best", but definitely not all. There are enough games that have good, well-told stories for me to say that without question. I disagree when people say no games have good stories... (like some of what Levine said in the article)
