That’s right fellow gaffers, I have the opinion that videogames, as a medium, are better than movies.
Why? Well, pretty easy to explain. In movies you are only a passive actor, you can only watch and think. You don’t have any say, you just sit and watch the story.
In videogames, you have to play, you have to solve a puzzle, kill the enemies or found an item to unravel the next sequence in the story. So when you progress through the story, you actually feel that you earned it and that makes you enjoy it even more (RDR2 comes to mind).
Obviously the script level of videogames isn’t at the level of the best movies (yet). But that’s just a matter of time (I’m NOT looking at you, Cuckmann).
Videogames don’t have limits to the imagination of their creators (ask Kojimbo) and with the advent of VR, the immersion it’s going to be unprecedented.
What do you all think?
Inb4: Ok boomer.
