Are video games better without stories? (Gaming)

You forgot Metal Gear Solid 2.

Truth. Also 3. Also Revengeance! A very well written game.

Nah, 3 could have easily been done in a film.

Rly tho? Advancing the clock to kill The End? The Sorrow's ghost river and taking the revive pill? Pulling the trigger yourself at the end? Those aren't very filmic.

Those are all kind of… gimicks. They don't really have anything to do with the story itself.
