This isn't what I mean with the term "movie game", I mean games that try to give a "cinematic experience"

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty - All Cutscenes (5:24:11)

The Last Of Us Remastered All Cutscenes (1:31:49)

so what exactly makes The Last of Us a movie game?

Bruh out here talking about how the gameplay is boring and he didn't even play it. Foh

Restricted player choice, forced slow walking mechanics, exaggerated narrative where gameplay feels secondary, I didn't feel like I was playing a game, I felt like I was watching a movie, a good movie.

Need a remaster of this now

I thought op meant movie based games not games with a narrative

u seen/played bfbb rehydrated?

Of course

Before i played it I thought it would be too bright but when i started playing it i can't stop staring at how vibrant and colorful it is especially compared to the original which i still have

video games that take themselves too seriously are generally trash

I agree and disagree. I think Western "movie games are poorly written"

JRPGS and Japanese games have a f*** ton of story but they are good. I could play the f*** out of MGS, Persona, or Silent Hill but stuff like Uncharted is so boring and uninteresting. It's just that western games are so focused on being these "mature" games begging to be taken seriously. That something like the Last of Us II feels like a satire at some times, compare that to a Yakuza Persona 3,4,5 even main line SMT that aren't so hyper focused on fitting into one mold or idea so they feel fun they feel human. Like Yakuza has some sad moments but you can also play Karaoke and goof off

Remakes are overrated

What do you mean when you say "definitive" type of games

If we are talking popularity / sales, feel like something like a COD, FIFA, 2K, GTA, Fortnite, etc would be that

More story driven, linear games are popular but I wouldn't call them the industry standard when there is so much diversity and different genres

The game of the year labels they are given along with being labeled masterpieces

They just might be but at the same time, new generation will be a leap in technological milestone so we shall see.

Just because you play games just to relax doesn't mean everyone else does. Some people play games to get immersed in an impactful story, engage in stressful but rewarding gameplay, etc.

Also what you're talking about for repetitive gameplay makes no sense. Every game has a gameplay loop. Whether it's good or you enjoy it is something else. DOOM has the most repetitive gameplay loop I've seen in a modern game but that s*** is fun asf and that's all that matters.

I feel like this is semi bait, but anyways.

This is truly case to case. Because something like TLOU 1 & 2 are still very fun to play to me, especially wit how flawless they are on a mechanical level.

Now something like Super Mario Odyssey (One of my top 5 of all time.) is infinitely more fun in the sense that that’s it’s only purpose, and so games like that, Pokemon, etc. are a lot easier for me to binge and fly thru because 6 hours will fly by like one and they’re less of a grind.

But I also have a massive appreciation and respect for games like TLOU, RDR, etc., and all the work that went into them.

I enjoy both for different reasons. They’re both different experiences and serve different purposes and there’s room for both.

don’t respect your time

nah

TLOU2's gameplay is the best thing about it by far actually

Last of Us 2 out now
Uncharted 4 out now

Games that focus on story over gameplay make no sense

It definitely wasnt

MGS is the worst exemple because even though it has a ton of cutscenes, the gameplay in the series has always been cutting edge and fun and different with each instalment and the story is used to expend the gameplay and the gameplay is used to expend the story

I’m only halfway thru TLOU2, but I’ve been focused way more on the gameplay and the vibe than the plot tbh.
