I haven't played a RE since CV but aren't those games still story driven?

The honest answer is neither. I'd rather just stare in to a wall if those are my choices.

I've tried multiple times to get into Witcher 2 but the story just bores the **** out of me. It's fantasy that's embarrassed to be fantasy so it tries to make it "mature" and "gritty" but it's written by some guy who's still a hack fantasy author so it falls flat. And Geralt is such a terrible character. From what I saw he has no interesting personality traits beyond being wry and gruff, and his design looks like the product of a 14-year-old fanfiction writer.

Allright, cool, but the sword is too short.

And let's give him some demon wings, but just one tho.

Dude, as much as I love RE, I can't even front that the overarching story is anything but a retarded mess.

%90 of RE = Umbrella is real evil. Rich peeps are crazy. Kill them zambies (and los plagas, or whatever). Punch boulders. Kill Wesker again. Then do a replay in a cowboy outfit.

But which one tho.

If you've tried to get into the story, didn't succeed and didn't experience it then you don't have any grounds to fully critique it.

If fantasy that's 'mature and gritty' is apparently 'embarrassed' to be fantasy then GoT, LoTR, First Law trilogy, Beyond Redemption, The Axe and the Throne etc are all embarrassed to be fantasy?
No, fantasy doesn't have to be suitable for kids and throughout the majority, it isn't.

Even Discworld, a series which is about as lighthearted as you can get isn't for kids.

Also, the fact Sapkowski isn't as well known as, say GRRM doesn't mean he's a 'hack' author.

The Adam Sandler movie, because it will be over sooner and I might giggle at a penis joke or two. The other one will be 20+ hours of turgid, self serious, pretentious attempts at being "deep" and "mature" - with horrible, stilted dialogue and characters that feel like planks of wood. I really can't understate just how terrible I think most serious attempts at storytelling in games are to me.

What if you had to watch it over and over again for 20+ hours.

Sounds like your movie taste tbf.
