      many visual novels have choices, which typically aren't present in books. many visual novels have gameplay elements. they can also have ludonarrative elements that would never work in books, especially when there is gameplay. finally, music and art (and voice and acting when it's present) do more for a story than just presentation. it changes the way you interpret the characters and scenes, and the options the writer can even make.

    it's actually kind funny. If you hide the profile pictures and bios, a lot of these journos sound no different than like retvrn to tradition and jordan peterson types. They hate games so much.

    >the only games with a deep plot she could think of were two current gen AAA slopwares and an oscure japan-only PS1 game
    What level of casual even is this? Did she hear of Boku no Natsuyami from some youtuber and decide to put it next to whatever new shit came out recently?

      Literally yes. Some homosexual dude named action button did a 6h review of it, and I guarantee you that she got it from that gay.

    If you reduce a video game's plot to merely "thing happened, baddie dead" then yeah a lot of games have bad plots. In the same vein though, Lord of the Rings would also be a bad book.

      I'm sure there's a lot of pretentious hipsters around who think that LOTR is bad because there's no deep theming and it's "white colonial fantasy" and crap like that.

    Not gonna lie, her (?) choices are not bad. but still, someone who would greatly enjoy something as simple as bokunatsu and as derivative as Control not being able to find any other example? Weird, to say the least. Have to imagine it's some eceleb opinion being parroted.

    2/3 of these games also star female protagonists that are schizophrenic, curious that is what they find to be "literary"

      I'd understand if it was some teenager who just learned of her personal babby's first cult classic but this is an actual grown ass journo who willingly decides to stop at "thing that is new" and "thing that youtube talks about" for her pool of knowledge.

            Really sick of these mouthy c**ts whose entire existence revolves around their sexuality.
            It just shows that they have no personality whatsoever.

        And most of the best ones out there are written by straight people. Imagine having to affix ones sexuality every time you needed to pull examples.

    video game stories often succeed or fail on their pacing which is not nearly as difficult to nail in a book since you have complete control. too many variables of things to see and do in a game. you don't know what gets focused on and what doesn't by any one player. there's not that many different stories and types of stories someone can possibly tell. So it becomes much less important in video games relative to everything else. Music, visuals, gameplay, even QoL features can make or break a game and ensure it gets remembered fondly.
