WHAT IS THE APPEAL OF THESE SHITTY FUCKING MOVIE GAMES
I DON'T GET IT
I LITERALLY DON'T GET IT
JUST WATCH A MOVIE. IT WILL HAVE A BETTER STORY, BETTER WRITING, AND BETTER ACTING
>M-MUH INTERACTIVITY
THERE'S NO CHOICE!!!! THE GAMEPLAY BLOWS ASS AND YOU HAVE TO PLAY IT ONE SPECIFIC WAY OR ELSE THE ILLUSION STARTS TO BREAK
it's fun
you do realize TLOU1 basically plays like a mix of RE4 and Uncharted
It's like asking why people like visual novels, it's an "interactive experience" with good presentation it doesn't need to be great for people to enjoy it.
it's pretty fun. if you don't find it fun then don't play it duh
That's like asking why people watch marvel movies, plebs will be plebs.
It's for people who are obsessed with video games and too dumb to understand film. It's the best movie they've ever seen because they're morons.
Stick to Nintendo it suits you
People currently lead such comfortable and complacent lives that they'll clap for being shamed by a fucking video game because at least it made them feel something.
the AA games have ten times the charm and "soul" as tlou
Except the gameplay is worse than both.
This
I enjoyed it. it's fun enough for a couple playthroughs but on anything higher than hard it's a slog
>THE GAMEPLAY BLOWS ASS
that's where you're wrong though
Calm your tits the sales will tell
The appeal is what is fabricated around the IP, the feeling that all journos validate your buy, that all internet forums will DAS RITE whenever you obey the collective. It's not about videogames at all. Hasn't been for a while with AAA product.
RDR2 is a better movie but a worse game. Fuck, I hate that game. Most scripted fucking game I've ever played that wasn't a fucking David Cage game
It will sell gangbusters m8.
It could turn into a successful disaster like Diablo 3, but I don't see that happening either.
I think the leaks were intentional to get over with the memes about Joel getting clubbed out of the way
But judging by the butthurt, I don't think they anticipated the macho man tranny savage memes
they translate to decent game movie versions on youtube
if you play only torrented pc games why do you care?

>it's a "locked into a slow walk while characters talk and some scripted shit happens that totally could have been a cutscene but was made into this fake gameplay thing for no reason"
at least in half-life you can jump around like a spaz and throw clipboards and bricks at people when they talk
the game is fun the gameplay is a step up its just the soi lefty youtuber are scared of gore and just run away instead
>WHY CAN'T EVERYONE BE THE SAME AND LIKE THE SAME THINGS REEEEE
Faggot op
it's definitely not worse than Uncharted
Explain what you like about it, then.
If you want a series answer, they're enjoyed by people who haven't experienced more "gamey" games from a decade prior.
>"locked into a slow walk while characters talk and some scripted shit happens that totally could have been a cutscene but was made into this fake gameplay thing for no reason"
I know you're just throwing The Last of Us in with all the other "movie game" tropes that you don't like, but forced slow walking sections in The Last of Us are very uncommon. You're free to run around looting the environment while people talk to you at full speed for the vast majority of the game
story and gameplay -- the exact same things that you hate
>it's a great survival horror game
>deep thought provoking story
>Seeing the world through the eyes of an immigrant
the last one i quote from Neil Cuckmann himself
The appeal is it caters to normies who don't actually like games and want politics injected into a entertainment medium that is meant for escapism. Most likely this choice is stemming from a broken upbringing of a single parent household, or childhood abuse from a inner city or suburban environment where the untamed bullshit of horrible adults was never kept in check, so it formed horrible adults out of broken children.
This is the exact audience of this game, whether you take my wannabe psychologist answer serious or not. Like you said, people who want movie games would be better off going to the movies instead of injecting their broken home bullshit into our escapist hobby where these people clearly do NOT belong.
there's nothing wrong with these three things
>Gameplay
Fucking what? crafting & cover mechanics? oh, sorry i forgot you have a dedicated JUMP button & you can now go prone & crawl.
what a faggot
>a[n] entertainment medium that is meant for escapism.
who is the CEO of video games and when did he say that?
Why the fuck would I do that faggot? (Didn't even say I liked it btw)
I know the exact reply I'll get calling me wrong or some shit if you don't like the game just ignore it like every game I don't like you fucking faggot.
>he thinks something has to be overly complex in order to be fun and can't just be simple and refined
kill yourself
imagine being this much of a wimpy dicklet that you can't even defend your opinions on an anonymous imageboard
Your stupid low 1 digit iq post makes no sense why would people from broken homes not want escapism?
I don't feel any need to defend anything loser I just came here to laugh at you.
>The appeal is it caters to normies who don't actually like games and want politics injected into a entertainment medium that is meant for escapism.
I don't remember that part of the Matthewmatosis review
you seem really not angry, you're doing a great impression of someone who is definitely not angry
RE4 had multiple different unique scenarios in each chapter. Not just different set piece shooting galleries but weird puzzles and boss fights with unique gameplay mechanics. The original last of us didn't have this, it had three rooms, stealth segment, shooting gallery and box puzzle, and a single boss fight that was just a stealth segment with LESS mechanics than the regular stealth segments.
It's a great game on survival though. I'd argue it's only good on survival
