Unfortunately, most of the games I've played recently have absolute crap for story, character development, or even atmosphere. I'm trying the Penny Arcade game and STALKER now. Hopefully one pans out. Hmm, that’s a good point– I’m less likely to suffer full system fatigue if there’s something else accompanying them.

In good games, when those gameplay systems periodically get dull, you've still got great art, compelling characters and storyline, and atmosphere to propel the player forward. This is why I can't, and will never be able to, consider Diablo a complete (or good) game, in spite of its fantastically-tuned and -paced systems. Systems aren’t enough.
