juxtafras

game stories are completely irrelevant...games like MGS4, GTA4 and Fable II are too full of themselves to be taken seriously...the developers of those games spent too much time on stories and forgot that games are about playing...i just want the games i play to be creative and fun...the long and ridiculously verbose story of the MGS series just get in the way...that's why the splinter cell series is much better...the team focuses on adding new gameplay elements rather than who has cancer or long-winded stories about nuclear warfare...

if you had to choose, which would it be: a fun game or a great story? i'll choose fun over sitting on my arse watching a movie any day...

I completely agree. We don't play games to watch non-interactive movies. I also found one of the few sites to agree with us on this topic:
