I think both prove games can and should be GAMES.

For years games have been chasing “art” or “movies” moving away from the things that make gaming unique.

Both of these games were unapologetically very gamey in both their storytelling and the gameplay, and i think they resonated with people.
and very "movie" game too. There's no escaping it, it's a movie game with RPG gameplay. It ain't Persona which is visual novel esque. Idk why you want it to not be seen as a game that has movie like elements in the story telling.

Naw it’s not.

The gameplay itself is very gamey. They aren’t trying to make you feel like you are playing a movie.

And the total amount of cutscenes in the game is much lower than your average movie game.

7 hours of cutscenes in game you can finish in 25 hours is a movie game breh.


Gameplay itself being "gamey" doesn't mean anything that's just how the game plays.

No different from Spider-man which is very button mashy and combo oriented in gameplay.

same amount of time to watch.

nikka acting like Claire Obscure is a fukking Koei Tecmo game and shyt.

Spiderman takes ~15 hours to beat and 8 hours of that are cutscenes.

More than half your time with the game you are watching shyt. :huhldup:

E33 takes ~29 hours. So by ratio it has half the cutscenes of Spidey2

But even then, that’s not accurate because lots of the E33 video you posted is actually gameplay because as i said above E33 storytelling is gameplay focused. Lots of the story presentation happens during and through gameplay as opposed to non interactive cutscenes.

now he’s gonna twist himself into knots to explain how e33 and bg3 aren’t “movie” games with hours of cutscenes but how Spider-Man and god of war are lol

Don’t need knots.


This fight is 20 minutes long.

0:00 to 3:18=Movie
3:18 to 6:05=Fight
6:05 to 10:00=Movie
10:00 to 11:50= fight then they take control away from you again for 30 seconds of movie moments.
12:20 to 14:20 =fight
14:20 to 20:00=Movie

So in a 20 minute boss fight you spent almost 14 minutes watching the shyt and they took control away from you 3 times.

And nikkas wonder why it’s called a “movie game”:wow:


And somehow yall wanna compare that to a 15 second boss transition scene during a fight in E33

nikkas crazy :mjlol:


Nothing like this in BG3 or E33.

This is what your movie games do.

Not sure why you weirdos have such a problem with reality. You like playing movies and that’s ok :manny:

You realize we all can hit the play button on that video right? I skimmed through it and every part was CUTSCENES as in controller down, eyes/ears open.

It's a movie game.

THIS isn't a movie game.

This barely has cutscenes. 20 hours of pure white knuckle gameplay.


Hell Claire has more movie runtime than Hideo movie game Kojima's DS2 :mjlol:
