| Trunkin said: Just finally got around to laying TLOU, and I think it would have been better as a tv miniseries. I've yet to see a story in a game that I didn't feel would have been better told in another medium. I feel like the fact that I'm playing a game puts an additional wall between me and the characters somehow. I've heard the opposite said, though. And of course there's the fact that the level of interactivity oftimes has to be compromised for the sake of storytelling. The gameplay suffers for the sake of the story, and the story suffers for the game. I'm playing bioshock next, so maybe that'll change my mind. |
That's very interesting, because I feel it's the exact opposite. I feel a level of immersion and empathy that I do not possess watching media in any other format. Without the games including me in the adventure, I wouldn't get drawn in as much (which is the case for almost all movies, TV shows, plays, musicals, etc).
