If you're referencing the amount of absurdity that can only be conveyed in video games then I agree. Ludonarrative dissonance is the uncanny valley of gameplay plus story telling.

Huh? I don’t see how they are related. Many games ask you to complete objectives using means that are perfectly in-character, and there would be no ludonarrative dissonance. But as a medium, video game storytelling creates a unique opportunity for optionally using ludonarrative dissonance as a factor.
