| rocketpig said: Even the "greatest" video games ever created are completely laughable when compared anything resembling decent cinema. |
Not at all. The original Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, and Final Fantasy 12 are some of the greatest media texts ever created. Superb voice-acting, tremendous art-design, innovative game-play, heart-breaking cut-scenes, subtle identity-politics, geopolitically savvy storylines -- they've got it all. Those three games can go head to head with the greatest media texts of Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood, European cinema, Hong Kong cinema, Japanese anime, Brazil, Russia, you name it.
Returning to the thread... you can never have too much of the following things:
1. Chocolate
2. Hugs from one's sweetie
3. MGS4 gameplay
