Are Video Games Becoming Too Cinematic?

I'm really tired of cinematic experiences, not per se, just those experiences that are just cinematic. If you have a game with a great gameplay and a cinematic feel, it doesn't mind. Problem is some games prioritize the first and forgets about having deep and engaging gameplay. Games shouldn't became pure cinema, if they don't have something that differentiate them as a media, they'll be eaten alive.

In other words, not very many games are "pure cinema" and have differentiated themselves nicely! :P

Basically xDDDD. Badly worded for my part, I think most of the games (with a pair of exceptions) have some meaningful interactions player-game which differentiates them nicely from cinema. So everything is right, for the moment. What keeps me worried is that some games, even if they retain the "gaming" experiences, are morphing into more cinematic experiences, but I hope it won't be just too much.
