Why is McDonalds so popular? Isn't the point of food to be healthy?
do you see the overlap here with Zig Forums
video games are completely in the normie sphere now, it's hardly embarrassing to play them
but difficult or ((excessive)) gameplay filters normals at an insane rate, so now you have games that are essentially the lowest-tier of television at the same time and normals can eat that up like it's intellectual too
Because the Average Normie still views non interactive media as better/accepted
Gaming will never be pushed as a industry again because of it because they rather sell out to normies than actually Evolve the industry
VR is nothing but a gimmick that would be good only in first person scripted rollercoaster rides or porn
>food analogy
>Isn't the point of a video game to play it?
First and foremost it's meant to entertain, which cinematic games can.
>Food analogy
Retard
>Isn't the point of food to be healthy?
No, it's meant to saturate your wants and needs, not necessarily healthy.
>first person scripted rollercoaster rides
>VR
You've never tried vr
it's accurate
that's not an argument.
Except i have. the only thing stopping it from being enjoyable is the fact that they havent fixed the motion sickness
>food analogy
memes are not coherent response arguments.
also OP knew this since he posted fucking dog food.
You can combine them.
The secret is to fuck, fully off with quicktime events forever. I don't care what you have to do, get them the fuck out of my face.
>Isn't the point of food to be healthy?
That would imply someone "invented" food, and did it with directed purpose. Food isn't "supposed to" be anything other than material a living organism can convert into energy, the concept of health is not something animals have because animals are not capable of comprehending what makes up the food they eat. If given the opportunity, most animals would eat literally anything put in front of them, and they would feed themselves until they fucking died if allowed to. "Health" is a human concept.
Botw, odyssey, smash, cod, battlefield, souls, all multiplayer games etc are normie as fuck. Suck a dick
They literally can't fully fix motion sickness you retard.
Some people are stupidly sensitive to it so it can't be fixed.
Just like some people get motion sick by playing a fucking 2D FPS like CSS or whatever.
All you can do is mitigate the issue
>hur dur let me have my garbage analogies
At least try not to be a child about getting called out
>since he posted fucking dog food.
Nigger all he did was post a cute video of a puppy to get attention from people, how new are you?
>getting this riled up after facing truth.
how new are (You)?
retard, food is ideally healthy
like games are ideally good
1. Fuck off Redditor
2. See . No shit Food IDEALLY is healthy, but it doesn't HAS to be as the nigger (you?) implied by his phrasing. Goalpost somewhere else.
>muh reddit
Why are you coping this hard already?
>goalpost
they didn't move, you just misunderstood a simple metaphor
fucking tryhard you don't fit in
I submit that while shenmue created a greater idea of what video games could become as a whole, it severely fucked up what they would be for about ten years as a result.
Copycats are a terrible thing. Makes me realize that we've fallen very far. Our baseline is to get shenmue, or something like it back. Original Mass Effect anyone?
its a strawman and distraction. thats why its never respected or addressed directly.
Just shut the fuck up and consoom
what a retard
define "cinematic game"
the only examples I can think of are games with cut scenes. so... like... 90% of games with a plot
>lists half nintendo games
>any multiplayer espots cinematic singleplayer
your argument doenst really work when you look at people who aren't really playing video games to begin with and not to mention
souls is the exception but still casual
and nintendo is only played mostly by old folks who were born with video games to begin with
you don't realize this is not about the market that's already in gaming its about the market outside of gaming and selling to them.
FUCK REDDIT
Fahrenheit
Heavy Rain
Beyond: Two Souls
Detroit
Dad of War
LA Noir
Death Stranding
uhhhh..
it is fucking profound how people don't understand this. for the vast majority of human history, people ate whatever shit they could fit into their mouths. And yet, we survive in nearly every corner of the globe. Obviously the body performs better when it is fed better quality food, but "healthy" food is absolutely not required for life
>FUCK REDDIT
That pussy is old and gross so I am not.
"Cinematic" =/= "has cutscenes".
"Cinematic" = "Gameplay is underdeveloped or an afterthrought and serves only as filler to shuffle players from cutscene to cutscene where the plot can be narrated at them rather than experienced during and through gameplay".
> all pretty much movies except for one
you got it close man but death stranding ain't no movie it has actual gameplay focus
oh sorry
walking simulator
This.
I don't know, I feel like a game like Fahrenheit you could say the gameplay is as developed as they want and serves as a segue for the cinematics.
Fahrenheit isn't the best game ever, but the story is kooky enough to be memorable.
Most animals, including developing humans, were "healthy" because food is really difficult to come by and they had to work really fucking hard to get it, so most of the calories they got from the shit they ate was spent getting more shit to eat.
When you take away the need to expend calories actually getting food, and just give animals an easy way to obtain it without any work, they invariably become fucking fat, lazy blobs who eat themselves to death. Satiating hunger supplies endorphines and dopamine in animals, to drive the impetus to get food.
Animals don't understand that getting fat and unhealthy will kill them, they don't have a concept of seeing a more slim and healthy member of their species and envying them or being jealous, they don't understand that you need to burn calories and exercise. They DO need to do those things, but they don't have the conceptual capacity to understand that, just like they can't conceptualize that maybe they shouldn't just keep eating shit all day.
>you could say the gameplay is as developed as they want and serves as a segue for the cinematics
Yeah, because David Cage WANTS to make "cinematic games". Saying that the game is that way because they designed it to be doesn't change anything.
so... games with heavy plot, fully scripted characters, and story themes? this is a bad thing? because they still have dozens of hours of game play.
LA Noir is a detective game. you spend the entire time snooping, gathering clues, interviewing characters... detectiving... Do you hate football games where you select plays and throw the football?
God of War is an action game, first and foremost, and has been lauded for it.
And, what is the problem with these kinds of games? have you seen how fucking massive the PS4 and Xbone libraries are? have you dug through Steam? these games are a drop in the bucket
>Why are cinematic games so popular? Isn't the point of a video game to play it?
some people like games to be immersive narratives
if you hate cinematic games by virtue, you just haven't found one you like. it'll be to the point where you refuse to consider it as cinematic like yakuzafags
What am I trying to change?
I was just pointing out that you seem to be arguing from a bias.
Quote him, not me.
>because they still have dozens of hours of game play.
See
lol
this is your opinion. pretty sure God of War has fantastic game play.
The point is to be engaged. If the cinematic storytelling is better than what you can get at the movies, then who cares what it is?
seethe and go back
for me usually any naughty dog game after the ps2 days is a good example of a movie game
Heavily scripted
cares too much about graphics
gameplay is lacking and often boring
cutscenes are often the real reward rather than the gameplay it self
while you can conpare that to games other people would consider cinematic like kojima's
you got gameplay that's Decently fun
story is a matter of do you like cheesy writing and over the top anime stuff
cutscenes that can be short or long
but never the actual reward of the game.
Just post more dogs.
>seethe and go back
Then why not just watch a movie?
