"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GAME SUCKS"
well what plot point is confusing
"IDK LOL I SKIPPED ALL THE CUTSCENES"
ok did you read the quest text or

of course a video game is going to be different than a book or a movie, on account of it being a video game. good and compelling and genuinely interesting stories can be told in this interactive way taking advantage of this interactivity, the same way good comic books take advantage of being sequential art instead of a print-out of a script.
