"Gamers" and storytelling

Name: NESfag 2010-12-24 11:47

Are "gamers" too stupid to understand a story unless it's shoved down their throat and literaly told to them?

I just read an interview of Tobe Hooper (director of famous movies such as the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre) in a magazine. He was bashing modern american movies for often having a part in the movie where they HAVE to explain everything that's going on with words, to explain it to the audiance. He claims that it's better express things with the visual and sound, and let the audiance understand it that way.
Then he says "unless that audiance plays video games all day, they should be able to understand".

the fuck does storytelling in videogames have to do with liberalism. Stop being such a dumbfuck troll.

Anyway, that guy is a cunt. Videogames often have stories that last 5-50 times longer than a movie's story. Because they're interactive, oftentimes the game does a much better job of immersing you in a story than a movie ever can. Fuck that guy.
