He (Dara O'Briain) now hosts "Go 8 Bit" a comic/celebrity gaming competition series here (in Britain). I think that anecdote was probably part of his act. But "since the 90's" is a bit extreme....! I have had a good few games I struggled with that I would have loved to have seen to the end. (I have also helped a few people get to the end of others! Command and Conquer, C&C Red Alert, The Thing and the original Quake to name a few. I have noticed though the move to "in app" purchases. I have abandoned one or two games because they were too hard without weapons upgrades, etc. However I DID manage to complete "Zombie Roadkill" without paying a penny!

They really haven't. You'll get a half-decent one now and again, which inevitably get lauded by the industry with ridiculous hyperbole, "The best writing since Shakespeare!". The writing and storytelling in 99.9%+ of games is dreadful. The plots are unoriginal to the point of cliché. Ditto most story settings. The motives for your character actually doing what they're doing, range from simplistic cliché, to paper thin, to non-existent. The character themselves are lucky if they reach the level of two-dimensional. The complexity of human interaction and character usually portrayed with all the profundity of a shallow, inexperienced teenager. As I said, there is the odd exception but they're incredibly rare and even in theses exceptions, the writing is little more than decent. The only writing style in which games ever exceed this level is with humour.

Who'd have thought Charlie would go on to make Black Mirror. I've been a huge fan of his ever since the early "Screen Wipe" days. Even back then you could see a bit of angst in his personality. I always suspected he'd do something noteworthy. Maybe a mass suicide or kill his whole family. I obviously mean things that are worthy of a note along side his name. Killing Connie Huq isn't noteworthy in the sense that it should happen. lol. So learning he wrote Black Mirror is no surprise to me or any of his fans. It was bound to happen.

This originally aired about a month before MW2 was released, so for all Graham knew Price had died. I definitely thought he had when I played MW. But yeah, I agree with you about the storytelling point. There are some great plots being written for games today. That said, there are still plenty of shit ones too, and I take his point about games that go OTT on fancy cut-scenes when lacking any in-depth story.

Actually the way I recall Price's death was a questionable thing right up to COD 6 MW2, where you saw Price and knew he survived. IIRC the last thing you see of Price in COD4MW was a russian guy treating him to CPR shouting "он не дышит" or "he isn't breathing" in russian. So yeah, I thought he was dead after the first MW was over. I might be wrong and missed something.
