gaming Hollywood elements in video games

[cider float 2,539]

Anyone feel that video games are getting too Hollywoodish these days? I'll be honest I cringe in typical Hollywood themes. You know when they try to inject humor and it's like the same joke I heard from 20 other different movies? Then they got to have that part where the hero looks at the love interest in a certain way or how it's so typical that the guy and girl that is always fighting actually like each other? I mean it's hard for me to lay out what I mean about Hollywood generic moments since it's been a while since I saw much movies (because I don't like most Hollywood movies), but you will know it when you see it. You know those random pauses and the music just stops when someone says or does something awkward? Or movie trailers that fade in and out but pretty much shows the whole movie on that trailer and it just pisses me off?

 

And of course the generic female shallow voice, Morgan Freeman, some guy who looks like every other male lead (Adam Levine style closest I can think or Ryan Reynolds) and usually has a snarky overly confident attitude, and almost every female character is a tomboyish feminist who is at odds with Mr. Chav who just shrugs his shoulders or just another Spartan movie (though not a lot of games on this but it usually follows the demeanor of the medieval/greek games)... god just thinking about it makes me cringe.

 

Bottomline games should stop trying to be like movies because most movies are bad and generic beyond belief.

Advanced Warfare = Micheal Bay explosions

Fallout = Fallout

Last of Us = Zombie apocalypse

Exactly how you described it (main-story wise, at least).

Sub-30 FPS and lack of player agency are two ways in which games also FEEL like movies.

Which is honestly sad, since interactivity is what makes the medium unique.
