Do you like cinematic games? Or games that have deep gameplay?

I don't really like the whole set piece gaming trend that's happened. Games like UC kind of bore me.

I love games like NG, ZombiU and Bayonetta, and Dark Souls.

I am 100% with you. I'm not really a fan of games like Asura's Wrath where you just play QTEs until you're bored out of your mind.

A game with deep gameplay and is very cinematic. I hate how some FPS leave you in first person when they could pick a number of scene to bring the world, story and even the game play out more.

i don't like the design choice to emphasize visual spectacle over systems and mechanics that speak for themselves. i mean, MGS4 has some really solid systems that combine for pacing that could easily stand on it's own with lots of starts and stops, but then you get hours of cutscenes at a time it really messes up that pacing. or even without cutscenes, steering drake across a crumbling bridge just isn't interesting.

i always hear that these cinematic influences are for the story, but i'm much more interested in discovering the lore in dark souls through free flowing gameplay.

I like cinematic games.

i like both

Cinematic through gameplay. Half-Life 2 and episodes, basically any Rockstar game.

why cant we have both...in the same game?you know,(hey you got your peanut butter in my chocolate)it could work.

I like a bit of both.

Anything that ultimately proves fun, engaging and exciting. I love cinematic games as much as I like games that have deep gameplay.

I'm with you. I feel like cinematic gameing takes away the point of gaming. I mean what seperates this medium from other mediums? It's participation. That's how I feel about it.

I'm always aware of what I'm actually DOING in a game so when I'm slowly following a tibetan through an ice cave, all I'm thinking is, "this is completely unenjoyable no matter which perspective you look at it".

I like both.

actually, not really.

Because the cinema ends up being standard action angles that you'd see in like a Jackie Chan movie.

and then the game becomes "hit series of checkpoints to get next story segment.

its not always mutually exclusive. I know I've played games with decent cinema tics and fairly in depth gameplay.Allicrombie

Much prefer lots of gameplay over "cinematic" experiences.

I started to get bored with cinematic games now, but I used to enjoy them immensely. Now I'm craving for more gameplay oriented games because they're what I enjoyed the most. When I want a movie, I watch a movie. Not games.

Now has some game comes out own movie like Halo 4 own movie like Forward Unto Dawn

First and foremost i like good and engaging story. Whether it is told through cinematics or whether it has a great gameplay along with it i consider it as a bonus.

Gameplay. Cinematic fluff is only worth at best a one time play through, versus something like raiden iv, which I can play over and over again.

Go Team Cinematics.
