Ahhh... could you elaborate on that jab?
I hate cinematic games too, at least those who hold your hand. I really hope Bioshock Infinity isn't such a game.

Sure - I played the game on PC and here is my real-quick assessment.
It's extremely linear and extremely cinematic. Lots of people like that and I get that. But linear cinematic games make me feel like I'm just watching and not doing. I play video games to experience. Not to watch. Now, it was a beautiful game. But I value gameplay in my games and this one was just a room-to-room shoot-em-up with a four hour story painted on it.
It was a beautiful game though and had a high production value - the heroine was likeable - I think that might be what hooked a lot of people.

Sad to hear this beacuse I had anticipated a fantastic experience with Bioshok Infinite, but I value gameplay in my games too.

There is a high probability that you'll love it because the majority of people seem to love it. Might have something to do with the current generation of gamers here - so ignore me - I've just become extremely critical of video games in my post-xenoblade life. Ever since I started analyzing my experiences - I blame extracredits

I am happy it opened your eyes. I am one of the more vocal critics of the trends in modern games too and we need more awareness on this topic or else games will become even more dumb and cinema-focused. I will definitely still play Bioshock Infinity though as I am still able to sometimes enjoy cinematic experiences for what they are.
Is Extracredits some gaming site?

It's a miniseries that takes a deeper look at games; how they are made, what they mean and how we can make them better. It's really good.
