actually i didnt really like the last of us, because it was too cinematic. uncharted cinematicness is more of a indiana jones games. I havent played the other ones, but what im trying to say is that i love some cinematicness but not the whole game, even though it may be recieved good in the critics, its getting those good critics for the wrong reasons

It isn't for the wrong reason. It's reasons you dont like. That doesn't mean it applies to everything and everyone.

More like too many companies making "cinematic experiences" and calling them games.

So, tell me then, how are the games that I brought up not video games? Can they be played/operated/interacted with? We've been through this and you continue to repeat the same rhetoric. This time, I want to actually hear a compelling argument - not simply: "because I say so".

I already told you that games are defined by gameplay and that gameplay is getting removed from many titles, making them less games.
