How important is plot in video games? The devs at Riot Games say not at all, but FanGirlConfessions.com would beg to differ. Read why and see what others had to say.

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Depends on the game... if it's the likes of The Last of Us then yes, the writing and dialogue is essential to the overall experience. but if it's the likes of Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z then not really, we all need to play mindless bloody games without needing to know why I'm slashing zombies in more ways than one.
Looking at most games, devs don't take it very seriously. 99% of games have horrible bad stories and shallow, one sided characters. A good plot and believable/entertaining characters will never make a game worse.
Remember games like Halo 1 and COD4 drew fans in with the SP.
I hope the success of TLO motivates devs to focus more on quality plots and characters.
