Do you think the graphics vs gameplay debates of the wii/ps3/360 era got us into this

@Epak_ : you are just throwing out childish insults and ad hominem attacks.

Youre wrong here. Vastly majority of people was going with gameplay.

Personally, as im saying for years now, i feel lucky that i like all kind of different experiences. Games that are based on gameplay alone and games that offer great production values and/or cinematic experience the same. When im about to buy a game there are OPTIONS out there.

So i dont understand why once more we need to hit games that trying to offer skyrocket production and visual values while player having some control in a cinematic environment which is far more immersive than a movie and far more interesting. For example i cant wait to play the new Spiderman game when i never liked a Spiderman movie before. That says alot as far as video gaming goes. Or i had a blast with Last of Us story , it could have been a hit horror movie in the theatres , so whats so bad about it ? Nothing wrong , was amazing game !

All in all this drama over cinematic games should stop imho. There is something for everyone out there. Besides gaming since mid 90s was trying to be as cinematic as possible thru CGI cutscenes. From hits like Final Fantasy 7 to Resident evil to heavily gameplay oriented games like Diablo 2.

You dont like cinematic games ? Fine dont buy them. I love them , i always was. I still remember how excited i was getting when i was watching a Final Fantasy 7 cutscene and i was playing eager to see the next one. Maybe for you was/is a nonsense , to me is the opposite.

Two of my favorite last generation games were Walking Dead season 1 which was a story driven cinematic adventure with limited gameplay elements and PORTAL 2 which was all about gameplay from its first to its last second. So , i dont understand all this drama with cinematic games really or why a great cinematic experience should not score well.

Yes. I didn't really love that they started (consolizing) some of it. I no longer have the bookmark but the maker even said sequels after C1 and WH would've been different if they were PC exclusive.

I don't mind having all the stuff in 1 (crapton of weapons at anytime), 2 (ledge and cityscape), 3 (mini upgrade system) but I wish there were areas more like 1.

I think the Nanosuit looks great.

@Mercenary848: Crysis was a great game, so was warhead. And it is one of very few shooters I have played though more than twice. I didn't like Crysis 2 or 3 though tbh.

@lexxluger: This. Graphics comparisons aren't new at all. I remember coming to this forum when 56K warnings were still a thing in threads with lots of screenshots.

Sonic > Mario.

Genesis does what Nintendont.

:P

This is a Sony issue not a Nintendo or Microsoft issue. No one ever says the latest Halo has bad gameplay since that is the best part. The same for Gears or Forza. I will always go back to Halo because of the gameplay. The story may not be great but the single player and online gameplay is great. Sony exclusives are known for little and poor gameplay but games in general are not known for this.

Yes for Sony exclusives gameplay is an afterthought but not games in general. Games can have both but Sony knows what its fanbase buys and they know they do not care about gameplay.

I love better graphics but I hate movie games which that is something a certain portion of so-called gamers want.

I personally do not even enjoy those indie walking sims so I sure as heck do not want my AAA games to be them also.

You sound like someone who started gaming during that gen. Because this fight has been going on a lot longer, and has been the driving force for much of the progress we've made. Graphics vs gameplay? A false fight for losers. You can have both.

I liked that the PC gaming show @ E3 had plenty of simple looking games. PC gamers know ;)
