I’m not going to run OP down, there’s a lot of snobby replies here. I’m going to say there’s still decent stuff being made in the film world, but exponentially the level of high quality work is not growing at the rate films are released. Since the advent of digital films, and another bump by streaming providers, more and more movies are being released each year, but far less of them will stand the test of time. I think part of that is just a desperate need to create content. However, putting that to one side, there have been massive artistic pushes in the world of computer games. They arguably cost more and require more time to make, so they’re quite an achievement in and of themselves. However, even in some of the best (let’s say GoW, LoU and RDR2 as examples), even though the storytelling is well above the norm, it’s still not perfect. RDR2 had a number of storytelling and pace issues. I still loved those games very much, but there’s room for so much improvement. I guess it depends on your preference of art, and that’s always going to be subjective. When I watch a film or play a game, I’m looking for an engaging premise, solid storytelling, great performances, and in games some addictive gameplay. So I compare games and films through many of the same filters. You may be looking for something different.
