Worlds so rich made people began to desire becoming a part of them. A new concept was being brought to life.
Although video games were first just about getting the highest score possible when faced with a determined task, developers soon realized the endless possibilities laying ahead of them. Playing a video game is more than simply sitting through another story. For the first time one could have a say in how the tale told itself. Players could take hold of characters and live the hardships of the journey themselves, diving into that particular world and mastering it, making theirs the protagonist's conquests and failures.
A game has the potential to bond player and story in a way never seen before. This connection can be established in a variety of ways. Be it the fantastic landscapes in which the story unravels, the soundtracks or the well- constructed personality of a particular character. It forces the player to thrive in order to see more of what he wants."
