      If you find a cute girl passed out on the ground in the snow, you drag her home and make her soup and then offer her ten dollars for a favor, classy.

      Haha sorry if I didn't make it clear, but they're different people. Stan actually takes are of her for a couple of days just 'cause he's nice.

      Does this guy do anything other than bitch about the problems with games? I love how he knocks sequels, when plenty of series use them to change themselves. And when are people going to stop defaulting to the "shooters suck" argument? We get it, there are plenty of Call of Duty clones. But with Halo 4 and BLOPS II actually changing things up in their series, and games like Bioshock and Mass Effect technically being shooters, I'm getting more than a little annoyed at hearing this constantly.

      I find it interesting that there's a clutch of gamers saying this lately. I personally couldn't give a toss about a story. Why do games all of a sudden have to have 'stories'? Some of the best games of all time have no stories at all. I'm personally tired of games having to have "stories". Why? They're not films or novels, they're games. What about Journey? What about Mario Galaxy (or the whole series)? I don't think anyone can argue that princess peach being kidnapped (again) constitutes a 'compelling story' - but it's a masterpiece. What about the classics? Space invaders, Galaga, pac-man, pong.. they have no (or threadbare) stories, are they all now discounted by this new generation of story-centric gamers? What about most of the 8/16bit generation? You can't tell me you played games like Sonic, Streetfighter, Duck-Hunt and Shinobi for their "compelling stories". Vanquish has a dreadful story, Bayonetta incomprehensible, Minecraft does away with it all together - yet they're all brilliant. Games can do things and convey abstract feelings/ideas in a way that no other medium can, yet it seems a huge chunk of contemporary gamers want them / implore them to tread the tired old narratives of 'other' media. Even worse the tired old narratives of Hollywood. Give me an abstract or incomprehensible "plot" with great mechanics any day over a narrative driven game which feels awkward. I'm not knocking you, honestly. If you only love games with stories that's your call, you like what you like. Just like if you only loved games with big-breasted witches.. that would be fine too. I just honestly wonder about all these gamers who keep saying "story is key"? Do they really not love story-less games?

      I've said it before, and I'll say it again: 1) Don't hire non-Americans for the American roles. 2) Get an editor to fix your worst ideas. Otherwise, it's going to be the same promise-unfulfilled junk we've had to deal with in Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain.

    Why David Cage's visually-amazing Kara demo sadly also sums up the worst of video game story-telling

      I agree. The most important technical aspect of video games is the "interactivity". Starting with the program that we call "games" it creates frame by frame on the spot based on our inputs or "decisions". Whilst I do not know the specifics of the demo itself-maybe the demo was intended to show off the graphics engine, and if this was the case my point is some-what dulled- it draws the drama and storytelling purely from the narration and non-interactive visuals, like a movie lacking as a game.

      You're so effing right, Mr. Houghton, it almost hurts. Yet another fantastic piece of writing from one of my personal favorites, and you nailed the idea on the head. I... can't say much more than that, since my sentiments were already reflected through your piece, let alone a number of fellow GR-goers comments.

      Wow, show me on the doll where David Cage touched you. I've never seen so much energy put into tearing apart a technical demo with a heart of gold before.

      Has this ground been covered a hundred times before? Yes. Did that prevent this video from evoking a genuine emotional reaction from me? No. Do I want to see a game or film about Kara? Yes. Oh, and I suppose the graphics were pretty sweet too.

      Pretty good game. The story could really have used some tightening up but it was something new and fun. I'm wondering if the Taxidermist DLC is worth buying.
