Re: Isn't that the point?

In Response To: Re: Isn't that the point? (iamaquestionmark)

: Glad to see someone in this thread gets the idea. It sounds like Morhek and
: Grizzlei would rather read a book/watch a movie than play an interactive
: game.

I would as a matter of fact. :P

So many games have such lackluster stories that I can't help but want to spend an entire day watching one episode after another on Netflix rather than grind through a half-assed campaign. Games like Halo and Mass Effect are what keep me excited though. Halo, as a linear narrative, always has a really solid story for me to sink my teeth into making me want to know every little thing about it. Mass Effect being the completely interactive beast that it is allows me to get invested in a character that I personally can transfer my own personality onto as a gameplay mechanic with real consequences on the story and gameplay.
