Emotional Impact of Game Stories

Hi,

Quote:I fear I may have moved beyond the realm of games being a storytelling medium that sucks you in wholly, and into the realm of games are a way to pass the time, no matter how good (or bad) they may be. But, that's just me.:P
No, it's not *just* you. Perhaps it is the games, perhaps it's we who've changed. There once was a time when a game could suck me in for, literally, days without a break (longest non-stop gaming session was around 80 hours). Now, half an hour with a game and I get antsy and bored. Doesn't matter if it is WoW or FreeCell.

And I'm finding the same to be true of movies and of literature. Geriatric ADD, I guess.

Or maybe "And dead is all the innocence of anger and surprise." (Lepanto - Chesterton).
