HURF DURF harder.
The one game which is universally praised for its strong story you ditched on the grounds that... what was it? "You have to read a lot"?
lol rofl lmao AR OH EF EL!!!!!!!!!11one
Seriously, though, if you really think that gross oversimplification of one of my
many issues with Planescape Torment is the problem here, well, I've effectively run out of ways I can describe what's wrong with you.

for someone who might have misunderstand me, i didnt say that the videogames have bad storys, what i said is that compared with bookstorys they are far from being so complete or good, its the same thing with movies,for example if you compare the movie "lord of the rings" with the books , you find out that the books are much more complete and with important features that did not appear in the movie, and i did love the 3 movies of the lord of the rings.
Now if a game has a terrible ending, then will not that compromise the quality of the rest of the story?
and to make things clear that i did enjoy some of the games story, for me the best story of a game so far was from the "Thief the Dark Project" this game has an amazing story...unique:)

Yes, because having a good story is synonymous with flooding you with book-amounts of text.
Congratulations on getting the point.

Yes, that's why I read movies.
You really are fucking thick Koki.

Yes, that's why you watch videogames.
You really are fucking thick Malf.

And now it devolves into "I know you are, but what am I?".
I honestly don't know why you bother Koki.

Yeah I don't know either.
tl;dr:
stories - linear. Books - linear. Movies - linear.
games - nonlinear.
games + stories = bad games or bad stories

That's so brilliant and insightful. You should write a blog post on it.
