Right, so you've never used predictability or unoriginality to use as a flaw.
Not never, but it's not inherently an issue. If you know character and plot archetypes, you can "predict" the basics of anything. A truly unpredictable story would just be random chaos.

And like I said, I think originality is basically nonexistent. Humans have told stories for so long, that all you really have are variations on a theme. For me, it just comes down to the execution and quality of the work. You don't need to shock me. Just don't break your own rules, and make me give a shit about your world.

Not allowed to talk about them here. It's pre-release story material that's been leaked.
Even with the tags? Interesting, I saw many people talking about the FF7 leaks when they happened. I also learned these plot leaks on CE for that game lol.

I guess you still didn't read post 21.
I read it, and you've basically admitted that there was gameplay, even if you didn't like it.

Unless you have some definition of "a movie game" that you're not sharing with us?

As if this is the redeeming quality of the game. Now that's reaching. The gameplay was generic as fuck.
Didn't you just praise The Walking Dead? That is a point and click game that's objectively worse technically. Movie games are fine if they have bad cinematography?

So you've never seen a game called a movie game as a critique before huh? I guess you're newer to video games than I thought. It was one of the biggest critique for RE6 and the Metal Gear series.

It's almost like cinematography is better representation for movies as art and not as much for games.

Maybe game dev's should get over it and make a good game instead of trying to make a movie.

Imagine if I just wrote the script to citizen kane on a canvas and said it was a great painting.

why the heck would cinematography be a better representation of movies than games when games are a visual medium

it's not a requirement tho. plenty of (primarily older) games have shit cinematography and still are insanely fun.

but why on earth would nice cinematography be a strike against a game that's based primarily around storytelling

From playing the game myself and finishing it and watching tons of walkthroughs, it definitely feels and looks like There are more human enemies than zombies but yes there are zombies in this game.

Sure

But games that rely too much on the cinematography and plot have good cinematography and plot but might not be good games if the gameplay is bad

Hopefully TLoU 2 fixed the gameplay part cause the plot sounds like shit

well that, like any other form of art, is entirely subjective.

depends on your tastes and what you're looking for in a game

Because games are more than just the visual. They are interactive medium as well.

It's kind of like a movie that is shot well but has horrible acting and writing isnt a good movie. It's just a movie with good cinematography.

Edit: it's not a strike, it just doesn't carry a game to greatness

Yall need to stop acting like the first game's plot was amazing. It's not. It's unoriginal, predictable, the theme of the game is stupid old zombie trope of "Humans are the real monsters" and the father-daughter relationship journey thing was done much better in Telltale's The Walking Dead with Lee and Clementine. This is exactly why this game is one of the most overrated games in our history. Gamers salivating over shit just tells me this is baby's first epic game.


Every 1st party Sony game is thusly overrated to hell and back. I don't get it.

It sounds like you're looking for a movie more than a game. I'm glad you get your fix with games tho but dont get made when gamers are less enthusiastic

but they're still primarily visual

unless it's like a text based game, the primary way you experience the game is visually

haven't watched the leaks and i'm not gonna

going off the first game, the acting was pretty top notch and as for your criticism of bad writing, well I can't judge that having not watched the leaks, but that's a pretty subjective thing there

i'm trying to wrap my head around your reticence on this

God of War was a game that got it right. I would argue early MGS games as well, at least for the times.

what's the story behind the leak? idc what the leak is since i think tlou is p shit, but why are people saying naughty dawg deserves this?

ND fully embraced crunch culture. Worked their employees so hard that some of them ended up in the hospital. An ex employee said on Twitter that most of ND's talent had left when Neil Druckmann took charge. Even veteran writer Amy Hennig, who previously worked in Jak and Daxter and Uncharted 1-3, left the studio due to differences between her and Neil. Another major figure at ND, can't remember his name, left after taking a long break from work crunch for one of their latest games.

It's an absolute shitshow. Many of the animators working on TLOU2 are people who mainly work on movies(lol) because everyone else quit. The reason why TLOU2 has taken so long to come out is because all of these new folks working on the game don't have any experience with game development so it's been a slow and challenging process. ND itself is known throughout Santa Monica to be a horrible place to work at. Aspiring game devs fresh out of college are warned to avoid getting a job there.

I wish I was making this shit up.
