My preference looks like this...

Movies/TV > Video Games > A punch in the face > Music

Why do you hate music?

Hardly comparable, especially if you add in tv shows.

What game is like the movie Fallen Angels or Young Frankenstein?

What movie is like the game Bioshock or Super Mario World?

I have 200 hours on BotW now. That game costed me $60, meaning I paid less than 33 cents per hour to enjoy aan unbelievable game.

And that's the game at full price. I have 60 hours currently on FFXIII, which i bought for $5. That is an insane value for a game.

Movies aren't enjoyable more than once. To make it worse, we're seeing loads of sequels and terrible comedies being thrown at us. Is this really a contest?

I'm not going to argue about your tastes, but how are sequels a problem specific to movies? Have you ever played Call Of Duty 16 ?

Lots of bad experiences with inconsiderate neighbours blasting bad music.   I'm in a house these days, so luckily I don't have to deal with that now.

Yeah, I've always lived in a house, so I guess I've never had to deal with that problem.

I'm really more into TV shows as my medium of entertainment recently. Easier to get attached to characters and follow a long journey that develops similar to a video game, but with the laziness aspect. :P

I still love games and movies, but games more of the two

I prefer movies much more than video games. It's also interesting to me that you connect TV shows to games, as I always viewed them as more similar to films.

I prefer movies much mroe than video games. It's also interesting to me that you connect TV shows to games, as I always viewed them as more similar to films.

In a way they are, but many games are like interactive movies that last a lot longer. I guess I was more thinking about length and story investment more than the medium itself. I think objectively you're right in that they're more like movies

Shit, I realized that I made a huge mistake. I mean to say that I prefer movies much more than TV shows.



I don't watch too many movies so games win pretty much by default.
