Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell

  Every yakuza game, baldurs gate, every fromsoft game, the insomniac games like spiderman, Sony stuff in general like horizon, god of war, last of us, etc, black myth wukong, the endless remake games (some of which are very solid) like ff7, silent hill 2, persona 3 reload, etc, rockstar games even (rdr2 was 2018 and gta6 is supposed to come out this year, maybe). The sea of jrpgs like shin megami tensei v vengeance, trails through daybreak, granblue fantasy, unicorn overlord, etc. And that’s literally off the top of my head

  Mobile games and live services dominate for sure bc they shit money and are easy to develop but decent games still exist (though tbf a lot of them are starting to pull serious bullshit too. Love yakuza but sega locking new game+ behind a $15 dlc. First yakuza game I didnt do a new game+ run on and the lamest one to platinum because you don’t have to beat the hardest boss or run it on legendary)

    Question 1: And those are all “cinematic” games in your view?

    If the answer is yes:

    Question 2: have you played literally any of them? I don’t think all of these barring the JRPGs could be more different from each other if they tried. RDR2 and the Yakuza games for instance are good, fromsoft not so much.

    If the answer is no then I’m not sure what you’re alluding to, maybe you responded to the wrong comment?

      Only some of those are movie games, sure. I was more responding to your “everything is mobile games and live services”, which is just untrue

      The only one I haven’t played yet is wukong. Also I agree the spiderman games are totally awesome. I strongly disagree about fromsoft games though, sekiro alone is amazing

        But the original reply stated:

        It feels like every other AAA game is an interactive movie these days.

        I stated that it’s not really true

        And you went off to list games that supposedly support the original point.

        And I said that’s not true.

        And now you agree. So why even include those games or respond at all? This comes across like when you correct chatgippity or smth 🤔

  Narrative, story-driven MTX and Battlepasses.
