I wish they could leave filmmaking to Hollywood.
I hate what's happening to HD gaming. If I buy a game I want to play a good video game, not being forced to artificially press some buttons to be allowed to watch scenes from a movie.

The vast majority of video games focus on gameplay rather than story. Can't you play one of those games, and stop complaining about diversity in gaming?

It's not diversity when all big games in this generation go for this ultra-directed cinematic presentation and simplistic gameplay. Games becoming interactive movies without people even realising it.
Even Skyrim is polluted by this phenomenon.

You can always buy a Wii.
Personally ever since I started gaming I've always wanted gaming to evolve to include interactive cinematic games. I like gamey games and I like story driven games, and all points in between. But the games I like best are the ones with characters I care about, whose story I feel a part of. Uncharted, Valkyria Chronicles and Heavy Rain deliver, and others besides. And if The Last of Us can go one better then bring it on!

Yes, it's one reason why I'm looking at the Wii (and 3DS).
I often want games with strong story too, with characters I care about but there are ways to make them without dumbing down gameplay and turning them into interactive movies. Half-Life 2 instead of Call of Duty.
