> our standards for story telling in video games are really low.

At the same time, the upcoming Uncharted movie is looking to be substantially less interesting than Uncharted 4.

I find it interesting that there are a lot of articles bashing videogame stories yet nobody is making these points about the movie industry.

The fact that the movie studios are now looking at videogames for inspiration is very telling IMO.

What do you mean? People complain about movies all the time. Even Blockbusters, or especially braindead blockbusters, are being trashed everywhere. Marvel-Movies, as beloved as they are, are often bashed for how bad and generic they are. Hollywood for many people is synonymous for bad storytelling.

Because that's where the customers are. Gaming is primary a thing of younger people, and to bait them you need stuff that they know and love.
