Its normal for a game to have cutscenes, its abnormal for a movie to have you make decisions.

Thus, its different.

Just because something is normal doesn't mean it has to be accepted.

Both of those games have cutscenes, which kills your own point.

I stated that both of these games have cutscenes, it doesn't kill my point.

My point was that there are other ways to tell a story without cutscenes, not that they don't have it, but the stuff they do outside of the cutscene is a lot more interesting and better helps develop the characters and the world than their actual cutscenes.

You probably don't.

I care about stories in games a lot. If a game has a good story its more immersive to me, and cutscenes is a good and widely used tool to help accomplish telling a good story.

I don't care about story in games.
Give me a weapon or a goal and point me in the right direction.
I'm good to go for like the next 10-20 hours.
