This was barely true like 10 years ago. Now everything is mobile games and live services.

[–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every yakuza game, baldurs gate, every fromsoft game, the insomniac games like spiderman, Sony stuff in general like horizon, god of war, last of us, etc, black myth wukong, the endless remake games (some of which are very solid) like ff7, silent hill 2, persona 3 reload, etc, rockstar games even (rdr2 was 2018 and gta6 is supposed to come out this year, maybe). The sea of jrpgs like shin megami tensei v vengeance, trails through daybreak, granblue fantasy, unicorn overlord, etc. And that’s literally off the top of my head

Mobile games and live services dominate for sure bc they shit money and are easy to develop but decent games still exist (though tbf a lot of them are starting to pull serious bullshit too. Love yakuza but sega locking new game+ behind a $15 dlc. First yakuza game I didnt do a new game+ run on and the lamest one to platinum because you don’t have to beat the hardest boss or run it on legendary)

Question 1: And those are all "interactive movies" in your view?

If the answer is yes:

Question 2: have you played literally any of them? I don't think all of these barring the JRPGs could be more different from each other if they tried. RDR2, Insomniac and the Yakuza games for instance are pretty good, fromsoft not so much, and none of them are alike whatsoever, one is a GTA clone with a shockingly good story that's as always, too long, fromsoft games are definitely not GTA clones sadly nor are they linear bamham combat superhero action games like the insomniac ones or story focused ones like GoW or Horizon or the insomniac Spideys (latter are particularly awesome).

I would be extremely interested what you'd consider not interactive movies? Factorio? Dwarf Fortress? Ghosts'n'Goblins? Super R-Type for the SNES? Umihara Kawase? Ultrakill?

Only some of those are movie games, sure. I was more responding to your “everything is mobile games and live services”, which is just untrue

The only one I haven’t played yet is wukong. Also I agree the spiderman games are totally awesome. I strongly disagree about fromsoft games though, sekiro alone is amazing

But the original reply stated:

It feels like every other AAA game is an interactive movie these days.

I stated that it's not really true

And you went off to list games that supposedly support the original point.

And I said that's not true.

And now you agree. So why even include those games or respond at all? This comes across like when you correct chatgippity or smth 🤔

[–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You keep going on about the original post. I was replying to you dude, who said everything is mobile games and live services. I never said all games are movie games? I just said you are wrong and not all games, AAA or otherwise, are mobile games and live services. And you are still wrong, and that’s still true

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Wuuuut?

The original post had nothing to do with mobile games and service at all.

My comment said that it was not true that all games are interactive movies, and you said it was - because of the games you listed, which you then said are not interactive movies.

Are you like, lost? Downvoting me with your alts ain't gonna reverse that brain damage my guy, blocked.

You are the stupidest moron I’ve ever encountered on the internet
