Maybe the MGS story would be ridiculous to me now. MGS4's story certainly was. Then again, MGS wasn't nearly as Japanese as MGS4.
Videogames are definitely the little stepbrother of storytelling mediums right now.

You're not alone- the characters just didn't click for me, nor did the plot

Videogame stories suck the big one, with VERY few exceptions.

Fair enough. Maybe I'm proving my own point.

I will have to disagree with this...

Exactly. When I think story here, I think of the individual stories as well as the whole.

Still, it's good for a videogame story.

I agree, with caveat.

New games do not feature the storytelling prowess of good TV, films, or novels.

I disagree. Maybe you're playing the wrong games. *NM*

What is the videogame equivalent of The Godfather, The Wire, or Great Expectations? *NM*

"Ah, I see" means "You haven't answered because there is no satisfactory answer."

I've used that escape from a debate I was losing, too. It's a good one

And yet so many people claim to play them for their stories...

The extras lower peoples' standards, but I DO think it's still the story.

You are correct. But it sounds like semantics to me, since in practice...

I'll agree with this point, but I also agree with most of the thoughts of the GP

Final Fantasy XII was the best written FF ever, by far.

That was juvenile, TMJ. Also, he said best written FF. *NM*
