| Skidmore said: Miyamoto is maybe the best of all time, but he is totally limited by his vision, I really appreciate games with great narrative and stories, TLOU was as enganging as SMG. When you have the single most important employee of a company speaking this way, you know why that company doesn't have the support from the West. |
He never said games like that shouldn't exist. He said that games should be working to move you through the experience, not just the story. TLOU involved the player in the story and gave them the feeling of agency. That is what Miyamoto is saying we could be working towards. If there was any game that Miyamoto would be criticizing here, it would probably be The Order, which seems to have a large disconnect between the story and the gameplay, and it seems to give the player little to no feeling of agency, just settling on telling the story instead of allowing the player to experience it...
