I'd disagree that most games are made for children. Video games as an industry now rival the film industry and I believe the average age of those playing video games is possibly the early 30s. |
I've never seen any evidence to back up that stat. In my experience the average age is 11-25. And even then, the games themselves aim for the lower end of the spectrum.

Games do not have good stories. In 16 years of playing games, the number of games I've played with literary-quality stories is less than five. Most games are incredibly stupid, with no depth or artistic worth.
I grew up playing classic PC games from the DOS era, back when you actually had to be computer-savvy to play a game. Because it was a ing nightmare to even install a game on DOS, let alone get it playing, the games were designed for adults. They were deep and complex. As the years have gone by, Windows 95, consoles and improving technology has made it easier and easier to play games. And they have become more and more shallow, stupid and disposible. |

Don't worry, I won't disagree with you that storylines have gone in favour of pretty graphics and uninspiring play styles. It's still a very rough point though to say games don't have any good stories.
There's plenty of rubbish books with some stand out ones.
There's a hugh abundance of rubbish movies with the ocassional good ones.
There's no reason why this doesn't apply to video games which are just another form of story telling. |
