I watched that game too - fairly decent as far as movies go |
Do you often decide to watch the games on YouTube instead of playing them?
|
I didn't watch it on youtube, I played it. I was taking a jab at the game itself but apparently I attracted a lot of negative attention because of it
|
Ahhh... could you elaborate on that jab?
I hate cinematic games too, at least those who hold your hand. I really hope Bioshock Infinity isn't such a game.

Sure - I played the game on PC and here is my real-quick assessment.
It's extremely linear and extremely cinematic. Lots of people like that and I get that. But linear cinematic games make me feel like I'm just watching and not doing. I play video games to experience. Not to watch. Now, it was a beautiful game. But I value gameplay in my games and this one was just a room-to-room shoot-em-up with a four hour story painted on it.
It was a beautiful game though and had a high production value - the heroine was likeable - I think that might be what hooked a lot of people.

And that is what Max Payne 3 was too! Every 5 mins you get a 15 min cinematic. Graphics were awesome. Voice acting was awesome. Gameplay was great BUT SELDOM AM I PLAYING! It was linear and pseudo-on-rails experience.
