Jan 31st 2007 10:12AM (Joystiq)good stories, scripts, cutscenes, etc. do not make a game a better game; They make the game a better movie. If i want a good plot/script/story, I will watch a good movie or read a book. Sure, a great "movie aspect" alongside a great game makes for an awesome experience, but why is it that so many designers and critics hold this paramount over the fundamental gameplay mechanics? Shouldn't the design focus on the interaction itself and not in the fkn cutscenes? Why does it seem that I alone in thinking this? I seriously hate you all so much, for creating this gaming landscape that rewards this mentality. Innovations in gameplay will remain at the current standstill, and people who truly see interactivity as its own unique artistic medium will only look forward to having one or two new experiences per year for the rest of our lives.
aside from this, if you think there isn't enough variety in aesthetic packaging across games, you have the gaming market to blame. The gaming market is like a D&D nerd; it will buy anything that has to do with elves and dwarves, but will never leave its basement to see the light of day.
