Most video game stories are dogshit, in the grand scheme of things very few are great and fewer still would work well as TV series or movies.

Disagree. It's a great medium to tell some crazy stories. Which would never of been green lit in Hollywood.

You disagree with which premise? That most videogame stories suck ass, which they do? Or that most of the best ones wouldn't work that well as an adaptation for film/TV?

Most of the best videogame stories work due to being interactive, it's a different type of immersion that solely filmed media can never provide. And while video games can be a great medium to tell stories, most players likely play games to have fun, not for stories.

People said that shit about comics as well. It's a great Avenue to find a story that works for adaptation

Nobody says that shit about comics bc it doesnt apply to them at all wtf, they are not interactive. Video games are not a great avenue to find stories that work well for adaptation. You need specific ones like TLOU that are great stories in the first place and practically tailor made to be adapted to TV. Those are very few and far between.
