Reply to comment by OfficalNotMySalad in Should video game directors be talked about in the same sphere as movie directors? by OfficalNotMySalad

Yeah but I mean to say that there are a lot of good movies where as the number of good games is limited. I'm not talking about the levels and the word the game uses I'm talking about the characters amd the story.

Taking 2018 as a sample, there were far more impactful game stories than movies. You said yourself that you only play a couple games a year, anyone who dives into both regularly will tell you.

There are fewer games released compared to movies because they take much more effort, that’s why there is usually more good movies. If the ratios weren’t so heavily offset then you would have a point

Someone just said there were more games released.

Film has a long history of good story telling where as games probably didn't mature until very recently.i stand by my comment that most games are trash and its only a handful of games in recent years that tell a good story.

Those are indie games, not the kinda games I’m talking about. They’re the equivalent to fan made short films and half of them are porn games tbh. We aren’t including those so we don’t have to include porno films and shorts.

You can’t say that most games are trash since you haven’t played them, I can give you recommendations if you’d like but don’t use others ill informed opinions to justify your own.

Most of anything is trash mate. In just giving my experience that a lot of games I've played are mediocre stories. They're fun to play but they aren't great stories.
