| Chrkeller said: Look at it this way, jumping into disk 3 of FFVII without playing the first two disks would be odd. It wouldn't work. The same isn't true with Uncharted. Same with Star Wars... hence the term episodes. Because the first pieces are required to understand the latter pieces. |
Do you buy the full game once and then get parts of it every few months until it is done, or maybe get them episode per episode for a few bucks every time an episode lands, with the complete thing being a 20-30 hour experience, or do you buy a 50-60 hours game once every year or two?
Regardless of how they name such game, what makes it episodic or not is the way it is distributed. One is a single game separated into bite size parts every few months, which can often be bought at once as a season, while the other is a full game bought once for the whole thing, with subsequent parts of the same story not being delivered as bite size episodes, but as full sequels.
The fact that the original game wasn’t like that has no bearing in this. The remake is adding a lot of stuff that weren’t in the original either.
In any case, I know you understand full well what an episodic game is, yet you seem hellbent on arguing over this. Why?
