The trend of the "movie game," needs to die. Stop defending it, stop apologizing for it, and stop making excuses for it. This is the cancer that's killing the AAA industry.
There is nothing more unfun to me when I'm playing a game than when I get some halfway decent action for 10 to 15 minutes, only for me to be yanked out into a cutscene that's about twice as long as the amount of time that I just played for. It's even more egregious when they hide it, when suddenly you're slow walking through a building while the main characters are expounding on plot points or some bullshit.
News flash; the fucking BEST of the best video game stories are about as good as a medicore movie. There is no game that has come out in the last decade that tells a story that's better or more groundbreaking than a movie with an equivalent plot beats.
Stop pretending that you like it. Stop pretending like its elevating gameplay to a higher plane. A video game is just that, and the only thing that will elevate games fo another level is BETTER GAMEPLAY.
AI has been fucking stagnant in shooters for years. Every time I play a game that has "state of the art AI," the enemies act the same as the fucking locust from the original gears. They take cover, they shoot you, and sometimes they flank you. It's the same every time. I mean fuck it's been like that since the original Halo. Theres a thousand other tweaks that need to be made to gaming and forcing me to sit through cutscene after cutscene or making me hold the control stick forward while my character takes 20 minutes to walk through a hallway at a snail's pace is not one of them.
Stop apologizing for movie games

So you just want gaming to be a lowbrow murder extravaganza, pleb
Whos tha bitch on the left? She look cute.
You know why people flocked to a game like breath of the wild? Becuase for the first time in years you had a AAA game that LET YOU FUCKING PLAY IT. you wake up naked as shit in a cave and they say have at it motherfucker. Even GTA V, the grand daddy of the open world, had become a cutscene laden snoozefest. The time has come to end this shit. Gaming needs to movie on from the movie shit. It isn't working. And it's getting worse as games continue to be laden with the agendas of the developers, because now the games are preaching to you to you too. When you wonder why games are becoming soulless, THIS IS WHY.
Great contribution, why don't you go jack off in an anime titty thread or something
So just don't buy them? I don't. I usually don't like them, if something piques my interest I'll borrow it from a friend if I can or watch the beginning online and see if it seems worth it.
RDR2 has something to say about that brainlet comment about games not having as good story as movies.
this is extremely funny as a response to a picture of a lowbrow murder extravaganza
You mean the game that's every spaghetti western rolled into one? Absolutely a mediocre story compared to the best western movies.
Khazar Milkers
90% of game design workers are failed movie workers tho
Even genius kojumbo didnt make the cut
too bad they only modeled the character from her face and not her banging body too
Exactly. There is too much going on in a game for it to have a good story because you cannot account for players taking agency through the gameplay. For a games story to take its ideal form you need to play the video game exactly how the developers want you to, which goes against the nature of games themselves. That's why so many movie style games tend to railroad you into these unskippable situations, they're saying this is what we want from you this is how we want you to be playing and feeling.
And its fleeting because once that moment is over I can blow myself up or throw myself off a cliff, I can kill my AI partner, I can do any number of things that make your attempt at story telling moot. Games are silly by nature, they always have been, and trying to make them something they're not is destroying the games industry.
nose........god
Why are you posting this on a site where the vast majority of the userbase already agrees with you?
The first game was just a really good, inviting story. It doesn't have to be a fucking Dostoyevsky book, but anything that's even slightly above the average in game stories is gonna get heaps of praise my man.
Also, the game actually is fun to play. If you're an MGS fan like I am, you'll get a kick out of the stealth sections. They're much better than in other non-stealth oriented series which include stealth sections like Uncharted. The stealth in stuff like Uncharted just feels tacked on and not fun. In The Last of Us, it feels like it belongs. It feels at times like a stealth zombie game. Almost like Alien Isolation in that way, but in TLOU you do have the option of killing everyone, but you can also stealth your way across most sections, and that is fucking nice. Also, play it without the hearing buff, so either Hard mode or Crushing. I forget what the DLC difficulty for TLOU was called, but it was TLOU's version of Crushing. There's no other way to play it.
Seriously, try ghost running sections like the beginning of the game with all the runners. Or the section with all the clickers and bloaters right before the hospital sequence. Try ghost running the hospital sequence. Or the Ellie sequence. It's all possible my man. It feels awesome. Like a true stealth game.
I have no hope for TLOU2 though. I loved TLOU1 but 2 I'm not even gonna bother pirating or buying used. I have no interest in watching some strange creature beat the shit out of Joel and Ellie. I have no interest in playing as said creature and I have no interest in playing as the object of Neil Druckman's weird, perverted buff chick sexual fetish.
Amy Hennig should have stayed on to keep Druckman in his place, and TLOU2's original idea, of being led by different protagonists would've been better. Anything would've been better than the shit Druckman came up with.
Sweet lord I want to lick that clearly superior shnoz on the left
Don't even try to compare tlou to mgs stealth
So skip the cutscenes or play another game. Is that so hard? Or does everything have to conform to your close minded taste?
They found normies don't like actually smart AI, because playtests found the average player thinks good AI is cheating when really they're just retarded and aren't smart enough to understand how they were beaten. Boasts about AI from AAA and even AA teams is bullshit.
It’s the merchant’s daughter!
you're a fucking retard
Really? I would believe this because I actually do agree with OPs point, I wouldn't say they're locust tier but current AI especially in third person shooters seems like it's been stagnant for a while
Kek, but it is pretty good. I'm not saying it's on par with MGS, but it's not horrible either. If you want a stealth experience, TLOU is pretty good in that regard.
I would know, the only way I ever played it after my 2nd playthrough was with stealth, and ghost running a bunch of the portions in the game.
this game has been making Zig Forums seethe to the point of hysterics for 2 years now and I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty based
Shut the fuck up tendie, just because your shit kiddie gimmick console can't keep up with increasing technology and production costs to make high quality polished games doesn't mean you get to drag the whole industry down.
fuck i hope nintendo just drops out of the console race.
which edition do you want to buy?
youtube.com
I hope this shit fails but it looks like its selling well already fuck
this. stop apologizing for half-life 2, xenoblade 2, and quantum break.
Haha seethe more. Zig Forums will never NOT be butthurt at Sony's success. Sony always wins.
I wonder if the voice actresses k-kissed onset
>You know why people flocked to a game like breath of the wild?
for the same reason why ubishit's garbage always sells well: because zoomers love generic open-world skinner boxes. they're too young to remember a time when games had level design, they're suckered in by the illusion of freedom and "you can go anywhere/do anything" marketing slogans.
When have you ever though "wow, I love that they took all agency away from me as well as my ability to walk quickly, so this way I can slog through this hallway at 1 mile an hour while these characters can shoot the shit with some B-movie level of dialogue." I'll answer it for you; never. Its fucking annoying every single time.
but Kojima said that movies and games will merge
And look how that shit turned out. Death stranding is the pinnacle of this shit and now that devs have had their fun it's time to reign this shit in and go back to improving the gameplay.
You're a child
