It certainly seems argumentative because you are espousing a position that is largely unpopular or, in my case, simply unheard of. I've never heard of anyone asking for more cutscenes, less gameplay. At least in games. That you play. While the original post was certainly phrased as a question, it's uncommon for someone to hold such a position, and the argument is implicit in the question you just asked. Consider this example to highlight the point. "Are you guys afraid that we'll stop using as much foreign oil in the future?" This question automatically assumes that using foreign oil is a good thing -- something I believe virtually everyone would disagree with, and a person asking such a question would reasonably know that most people would object to the assumption outright. It's the same principle here. |
You make a point, but my post wasn't intended as a general statement concerning all video game. I realize mot people do not play games to buy movies. But MGS games in particular I think started out more as interactive movie than games per se and that is a quality of the series that has pulled me in and kept me with it to this day. I've been playing game since the NES, but in recent years my interest in video games has plummeted except for one franchise, MGS percisely because of its' movie like qualities. It just feels more sophisticated and targeted toward adults when compared to games such as Mario galaxy. I don't have a problem with gameplay in any game except MGS, but in MGS I prefer it staying the MGS2 or MGs1 way -half-half, making for a movie that you are in control of.
