It had to happen

I've always liked or disliked my games based on plot and structure. The script if you will. All games needs a good story. One of my favourites through all time is Monkey Island, a great story. The sound and graphics is technically outdated but not esthetically; it holds up now, and in a hundred years it still will.
Another is half-life, in full 3d, now remastered in source.

It just read this:

One of the nets most influential sites has an article about bad plots, low playability, tedious gameplay. In plain words they state that wonderful sound and graphics is trite. We've passed that point.

I'm so happy to hear it, the amazing graphics and zero plot of say Doom3 is so yesterday. Now, only the gamereviewers need to follow, but they probably read THG...

cheers
