Otherwise, it doesn't work because there is such a huge difference in storytelling style between video games and movies. Video games tend to be long burns where the vast majority of the storytelling is told through the experience and the gameplay as much as the exposition. That isn't easy to transfer to movies, so a lot of short cuts and just making shit up happens that fans of the game do not like, and actual film fans find to show a low quality of filmmaking. This. It's why I never get people who get excited for the supposed Metal Gear Solid movie. That whole series hinges on being a fucking game. Even MGS4 wouldn't work outside of being a game just because of how fucking long winded everything in it is. If it was made into a movie it would feel off. --- https://imgtc.com/i/XLz4tpM.jpg <cite>AlecSkorpio posted [p:906422013] in I'm starti...
