Well yeah. You see, the problem is EVERY videogame that isn't an RPG is simply about a lone hero running out there and killing lots of things. Sometimes it's a cool character, sometimes it has some cool mechanics, but in the end, it never has anything more than the plot of your basic action movie.

And the other problem is most RPG plots are really cliched, too.

Of course if the source material is good and there's a good team behind the project, the movie will probably end up being good. But the problem is there's almost no good source material in videogames. All of their creativity and innovation lies in how you play them, not in the story.
