I've been seeing a lot of people online saying games are very bad at storytelling because your playing it while learning the lore, I think that's BS but I wanted to see if gamers such as yourselves agree or disagree

it can't be done as slowly and thoroughly as the game can

What? Bullshit. What garbage shows are you watching where plot and characterization can't be slowly developed? Maybe stop watching bad movies and TV.

Meanwhile, what are you doing in the game? Pointless busywork to connect one part of the story to another. That's it. You're not doing anything but unlocking the next cutscene by a bunch of poorly done gameplay.

I cannot understand how we have gotten to this point. I guess the whole forced change in gaming in the late 90s with trash like Metal Gear Solid has screwed over the entire industry so bad we can't even understand what a real game is supposed to be any more.
