This is among the reasons I've stepped back a little in my approach to developing games. In terms of gameplay, many of the adventure games in the early to mid 1990s were among the best created. While there have been great advences in storytelling, it seems as though this has been to the detriment of gameplay in many cases. It's almost like we've allowed storytelling (as well as art and technology) to get ahead of us when we're not really ready.
