Aww, babby's first allusion.

It's just further proof that even if video games were a medium which could lend itself to the nuances of life, along with the overlapping, complex layers and variety of human thought and emotion, no game developer has shown itself competent in these essential facets of literature. Plot by itself only creates a broad, dry story; the details are what compels readers to characters, histories "Narrative" is thrown around by game writers, developers, and no-name video game critics as if they knew what it encompasses. As for video game "lore", what a crock: it's plot to justify the existence of more plot.

Video game developers: you're out of your element, stick to making puzzle games.
