I do.

When I say Interactive Movies/Novels, I mean "games" in which the movitation for progression is the story, whether it's told through boxes, cutscenes or in game dialogue.

Examples of Interactive Movies.

Heavy Rain
Mass Effect 2
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Most Modern Console JRPG's
The Ace Attorney Series
Alan Wake
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Final Fantasy VII
Resident Evil 2

When I say Games, I mean software in which the story nears non-existant or serves as a means to explain gameplay mechanics and world interaction.

Examples of Games

Bayonetta
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars
Burnout Paradise
Super Mario Galaxy
Trials HD
Super Metroid
Most Sports titles
Modern Warfare 2(Multiplayer)
Sonic Adventure



Pixel Art can be fun.

Hotel Dusk, Jake Hunter, and the Ace Attorney series are all on my favorite games list. I really enjoy them, so I respectfully disagree with you

To each his own, I suppose.

It's all about the story for me. Atleast if I pay $60 for a single player only game I expect it to have good story.



I like games. That includes everything on your lists.

I'm with this guy, you don't get to disown some games from being video games just because you don't like their focus on story.



...

I definitely have to disagree and Phineas will never acknowledge you until the series finale.......

This is trolling.

Basically, all games are interactive movies since they present you with environments and graphics and characters and you can interact with these things (if you choose to be that literal). However, some of the best games ever are what you'd consider interactive movies. Hell, Mass Effect 2 is such a critically acclaimed game not just for its strong storytelling and dialogue, but its great gameplay and mechanics.

If you really choose to stay away from those types of games, you're limiting yourself and really only robbing YOURSELF of possible enjoyment. I won't sit around worrying about it though, I'll just keep playing whatever fun games I want.



 

 

I like games too haha. All sorts and all kinds... but I would say if you are going to include a story... make it good. If the story isn't good then just don't bother. You can still have a good game without a serious story.



Well, I though the ones in the first list were games.
