Cinematic isn't all bad, games like Uncharted and Heavy Rain do it very well. The main complaint against cinematic gameplay is when games, series or genres that don't at all require that kind of gameplay get it thrust upon them.
DLC in general though I am against, unless it's a result of consumers asking for it or it being of genuine value, like a full on expansion. DLC that is planned and being developed before release or even ready to ship before release day is a crime.
That's precisely why its bad.
You implied cinematic gameplay in general is bad. There will always be single player games because people want to play single player games, and there will always be non cinematic games because people want to play non cinematic games. Very few developers have been able to show they are adept at making multiplayer games. I mean think about it, the number of high quality single player experiences far outweighs multiplayer ones. Developers for games like Dishonored said they didn't include multiplayer because they knew it would just be tacked on and a waste of time, I think more and more devs will start to see this.[QUOTE="Wasdie"]With heavy emphasis on cinematic experiences and obsessive amounts of quick time event's along with short campaign's with excessive early DLC... single player games may kill them selves off.

I really don't want to see the end of single player games. Multiplayer is great fun, but the experiance is so radcially different in single player. Not to meniton, with multiplayer have to rely upon an active community. That's not something to bet on for most games.

[QUOTE="JC_Spot"]I utilized ALL the fixes and use an Nvidia card with the latest drivers and textures continuously pop in even when you've already loaded them once.InconsistancyThen you suck at life, not my, or id's, problem. Obviously, I mean it's not as if they developed a game entirely for console, which launched with practically no graphics options for the PC. It's not as if they hyped megatextures to be the next coming of christ when in reality all they did was make the game file about 15GB larger than it needed to be. It's not as if there are literally thousands of forums in which people have tried in vain the fix the plethora of glitches and bugs in the game. It's not like Carmack admitted he doesn't think PC is the best platform for playing games, or that he blamed the bugs due to his own lack of effort on the PC version entirely on the shoulders of Nvidia or AMD. No, clearly it's my fault and id have released a well optimized, quality piece of software for the PC.
It still has massive pop in issues, even with the latest drivers and every single fix and patch released. Not to mention terrible framerate drops in many areas. Skyrim may have more bugs in terms of things that will crash the game or make you have to load a save, but in terms of ongoing and persistent problems during gameplay, RAGE is much, much worse. Uhh, 60fps in all combat areas that I could remember, pop in only occurs the first time you see something(with 'large texture cache'). Pop-in hardly stops you from playing the game, it's a trade-off, it's pop or drop frames, Rage pops, but you can edit its text files to trade frames and never pop...[QUOTE="JC_Spot"][QUOTE="Inconsistancy"]
Uhh no? Play Skyrim then play Rage, see which one has more bugs.Rage is basically bug-free, its launch was marred by AMD's faulty driver release, which only delayed its functioning 3 days

Skryim's crashing, flying enemies, npc's falling through the ground... that breaks the game, not a minor graphical quirk.
I utilized ALL the fixes and use an Nvidia card with the latest drivers and textures continuously pop in even when you've already loaded them once.I don't see the issue with BF premium.... It's basically the DLC at a cheaper one off price. I won't be buying it but essentially it allows people who planned to buy the DLC anyway to get it for less money. COD elite as an ongoing cost though I am against, also since the content you get it far less significant than you get for BF."Right now we are in the transitional phase of our company, transitioning from packaged goods games into an entirely free-to-play experience.
"What this entails is that our future, all the new games that we're working on, as well new projects, new platforms and technologies, are designed around free-to-play and online, with the highest quality development."
"If you look at what kind of games are done in the packaged goods market, with DLCs and premium services and whatnot, it's literally milking the customers to death."
People have got to remember the crappy COD Elite and the new Battlefield Premium right? Shoving DLC down our throats and treating people who bought the original game like crap.
