OP after years and years of playing video games from E-M i have come to the conclusion that yes video games are a good story telling meduim and i say this for these reasons

I preseve video games as a movie i make happen so in this thought its like saying movies are no story telling medium. a truly good example of this thought would have to be Oblvion now this is a rather odd example for this but its like a choose your own adventure book

The next reason is if a game a has a shitty story such as lets say halo 3 then most will not play the story a skip straight to multiplayer and this has no story unless one is prewritten and directed

and lastly machinima now this is a video game as a meduim for a story what machinma is to sum up machine cinema such as using video games as mediums for storys so on and so fourth

so yes OP video games are a good medium
