Video game stories need a remake far worse than comic-book movies ever did.

Seriously, it's like developers hire a bunch of monkeys with typewriters to write their story lines

Then they take what the monkeys **** out and interject a hundred terrible cliches and overused tropes pertaining to whatever genre the game is

Battlefield 3's story seems to suffer from the same issue. I was expecting it to be a lot more realistic, but so far it's shaping to be just like the Modern Warfare games. Good thing I got it for the multiplayer.

I've found PC games over the last decade or so have really retained their ability to excel in both the gameplay and story aspects of the game. It's definitely not as good as in the '90's, when gameplay and graphical limitations were made up for with well written stories and voice acting, in this day and age when games cost millions of dollars to make, that the story and narrative department will be allocated less money than the gameplay department. Also as multiplayer has continued to dominate the playing incentive, this trend will probably most likely continue, while we're still given a few games a year that treat the story as an integral part of the game.

If you are a gamer who seeks their satisfaction, not in kill streaks and perks, but in watching a well designed narrative unfold, then you really owe it to yourselves to support the games that do do this. Games like the Mass Effect series or the BioShock series, or even ones like L.A. Noire, which while being far from perfect, did at least attempt to appease both audiences.

Up to Chapter 21 in Uncharted 3, which has to be near the end now. I don't think I've enjoyed a single player game this much on a next-gen console. Bioshock held that title up until now, but this game just has absolutely everything going for it. Compared to Uncharted 2, it just looks better and they have a better mix of action, puzzles, etc. The main thing though is that this game has really upped the "wow" factor where they put you in these unique cinematic situations to play through that I haven't seen anywhere else. Definitely making a case for one of my favourite games of all time.
