@ezekiel43:
It's still a movie game. You're taking the term too literally if you think the majority of it has to be cinematic/uncontrollable.
Nah the term you use just seems ill made. And it makes easy wonder why I never read something so silly a term till now.
"Movie game" as the term you use doesn't exist outside a small and recent bubble at anycase. So can rationally state no GoWIV is not. You can believe whatever you like however, not going to change your views, as I can also call D00M an apple, but it's equally redundant.
"Scripted" experiences seems to be something I've actually seen outside this thread on God of War IV and games like Uncharted, "cinematic" even.
"Movie game" is something thrown together and lazy; by people like @Sevenizz who feel the need to spite defend another chunk of plastic for brand loyality. Pretty childish. Ill need for fanbois when really Xbox owners can just brag about backwards compatibility and having fun with games like Ninja Gaiden: Black.
Which is an actual real note of praise. Would take anyday over GoWIV.
Until Dawn didn't need deep gameplay mechanics.
Speak for yourself. I loved the horror atmosphere and use of tension, but found it pretty mediocre otherwise. Better off with actual Survival Horror games for that feeling and vibe when I want to play games. You play it once or twice and toss aside like the glorified television show that it is. What else does it offer to enjoy? Nothing_
And though a certain target audience can appreciate Telltale like experiences, it's not an exception to the rule of gameplay. And you won't find many Telltale fans even mention replaying these experiences, just wanting new episodes.
I expect them from an action game. Still, Until Dawn has more interesting storytelling than God of War
Notice how I mentioned no claims to God of War IV having a good story, or even really brought it into question.
Yet it's clearly a better game, more depth in the systems, and vastly superior handling and level design (though that's not stating much with UD). All those things you don't find in movies do we. What you claim from Until Dawn? Very much so.
I prefer the term "glorified screensaver" for Telltale like games at anycase. And seems anyone can just make bad terms for anything around here so let's make that stick. . I kid because it's equally terrible.
