Give me a break, were discussing video games you might wanna get that checked out if your being even slightly serious.
Everything is the plot? Explain Madden, Gran Turismo, Fighting Games, Tetris. When talking about some of the best selling games you cant ignore them and they have no plot, zip, nothing, (even if they have something that vaguely resumes a plot its atrocious) but you know why they do so good...game play. If you cant understand this simple complex, sorry. Plot/Story is not everything and in terms of video games at times it can be completely nonexistent from a game and still be a great game, because one of the essential parts of a interactive video game does not have to be plot/story.

Let me make one thing abundantly clear to you. Without a script, there is no game. Everything starts with the script. I don't think I've ever heard someone say something so ill informed and ignorant. I can think of at least 20 games that have better storylines, more compelling characters and more depth than anything you could walk into a theatre and see right now.

Okay, no need to get nasty.
The examples you used are ridiculous - you're trying to prove your point with games that are either twitch reflex or Sports games. Come on. Who are you trying to fool?
What about Final Fantasy? Halo? Gears of War? Zelda? Metal Gear? Silent Hill? Resident Evil? God Of War? Shadow Of The Collosus? Elder Scrolls? Myst?
If you aren't engaged in those situations, characters and storyline, then you are clearly not paying enough attention to what the game is doing.
