You want an option in games to NOT play the games?
:/
:/
A lot of that was filler content though, in regards to Uncharted 2. Throwing you in a massive room and taking thirty minutes to get to the other side.Actually, from a quick Google search, Uncharted 2 had ~90 minutes of cutscenes while Uncharted 3 had ~110 minutes.
Also keep in mind that Uncharted 2 was like two or three 3 hours longer.
I smell DLC.You want an option in games to NOT play the games?

Why would anyone spend $60 on a game (any game) that cant remotely compare to a $20 hollywood film experience.
The visuals will always be worse.
The story will always be worse.
The music will usually be worse.
The presentation, quality will always be worse.
And you'd pay $40 more. Why do it? Just go watch a real film then, thats designed from the top down to be scene in that fashion.

People keep missing the point:
This is not about buying a game just so you can watch a movie. This is for the many times I've spent 15 hours on a game, get completely sick of the game play, and just want to see the rest of the story.
Yeah, save for a few moments in the middle, the road leading up to Shambala really was the worst of it...Ehhh, I'd say the first ~23 chapters of Uncharted 2 are pretty damn great all the way. It doesn't get to "filler" territory for me untiland that's only because ofShambalaThat's about 10-11 hours of forward moving gameplay. I'd argue that Uncharted 3 felt like it stalled way more despite being shorter. But we've already been though this, and you know how I feel about that game.the new enemy type.
And just for comparison's sake, The Last of Us had ~120 minutes of cutscenes and was easily 2 times longer than Uncharted 3. I'M JUST SAYIN'
Is there some study I missed that said 90% of gamers don't finish games or are you pulling that number outta yo ass?So games aren't for 90% of the people who bought them?
Nothing stops you from playing game later (or the MP if included), even if you've seen the story.
Have you been to the movies lately?
Also, this isn't about just popping in the disk and watching the story. It's about getting half way through the game, getting sick of the game play and just wanting to know how it ends.
Slightly OT, did you get a PS4, Net?
Is there some study I missed that said 90% of gamers don't finish games or are you pulling that number outta yo ass?
Why would anyone want to play a game AFTER they have watched the story? You are saying if people could pay 60$, get to watch the story, then after that they would replay the game? Seriously ?
And are you actually saying that movie stories these days are worse than game stories? Seriously....
I'd love an example of that , tell me the story that as good or better than Hollywood. I think the last of us and GTA had awesome stories but movies they were not.
What did you get for your PS4?Yeah, man. How else am I supposed to argue next-gen vidyagames?
Oddly enough, I'm spending more time on my PS3 now than I was in the weeks leading up to the PS4. I just got a bunch of shooters from the last year+ that I missed :Xand I was so desperate for a new generation

I'd much prefer TLOU, GTA5, Portal, Assassin Creed, etc... story to just about any movie release recently (there are exceptions, of course)
What did you get for your PS4?
Hear me out.
Take your blood pressure meds....
are you ready? .... good.
This obviously would only work with linear, story heavy games, but, I think cinematic games should have a "Watch The Rest Of The Story" option.
I have a huge list of games where I didn't like the game play, but still want to see the rest of the story.
Developers spend TONS of money and time creating these games, often more than it costs to make a movie. Yet, a majority of owners never see the entire product. According to a CNN report, only 10% of people actually finish games they start.
If this option existed, I would do it right now for:
Assassin's Creed III
Tomb Raider
Batman: Arkham Origins
Metro: Last Light
Dante's Inferno
You would not prefer a disjointed stitching together of TLOU cutscenes over a movie. You are completely forgetting about the amount of time you spent playing those characters and watching them develop over the course of both the cinematic scenes and the interactive scenes. I don't think you understand what you're asking for.
Why not watch it on Youtube then? My friend does this.
I mean, any time control is taken away from the player. I guess I should've said "cinematic moment". Example:I never got that feeling at all, then again I played all three and compared from within the series.
Now when you say cutscene you mean them as they actually are? 100% passive, right?
This is not about buying a game just so you can watch a movie. This is for the many times I've spent 15 hours on a game, get completely sick of the game play, and just want to see the rest of the story.
I'd like to skip the current bit of gameplay, yes.I don't understand why one would even buy games if they wanted an official option to skip all of the actual gameplay.
I mean, any time control is taken away from the player. I guess I should've said "cinematic moment". Example:
I'm running up a staircase in a burning building. I go up for 10 seconds, then my foot falls into the wood. As Drake struggles to get it out, I'm no longer in control until he finally gets it out (10 seconds). I run for another 3 seconds where the staircase starts to collapse, and Drake loses his footing. Again, I have to wait 8-10 seconds for me, the player, to regain control. Before I reach my goal, control is taken away from me 2-3 more times. I just got sick of it.
Cutscene -> play for 5-10 seconds -> Cutscene is one of my biggest AAA gaming pet peeves.
What's your favorite so far? Will you get Uncharted 4?AssCreedIV, Killzone SF, and Knack (for free). Also Resogun and Contrast through PS+ like everyone else. Now the long wait until Infamous Second Son. Might get Thief depending on how it's received.
Have you been to the movies lately?
No but most blockbuster films are usually pretty lousy anyhow.
Screw the gameplay and cgi. I wanna skip straight to the credits!
Watching GTA5 via cutscenes would be fucking horrible anyway because so much development is done during the actual gameplay. This idea would only even work for a handful of very cinematic heavy games that have virtually no story development during the game.
Hear me out.

By that logic then lets just buy it in bits. Only want set piece moments? $9.99!Agreed.
And, you should be able to skip any sequence in the game you don't want to play. Don't want to do the puzzle in Uncharted, or the silly zero-gravity sequence in Killzone? Skip it.
Most people don't finish the games they buy with their hard earned, let them see it through this way if they want.
WutIf that's what you wanted to do, why would I try to stop you?
If it didn't affect me, who am I to tell you how to enjoy your entertainment?
I remember Another Code (aka Trace Memory) on DS did this. There was a minor penalty for getting the questions wrong.UK comedian Dara O'Briain likened videogames to reading a book, and then getting a quiz at the end of the chapter, and if you don't pass you have to go back and re-read the chapter.
Wut
That was a random horrible joke, OP.
