The Adam Sandler movie, because it will be over sooner and I might giggle at a penis joke or two. The other one will be 20+ hours of turgid, self serious, pretentious attempts at being "deep" and "mature" - with horrible, stilted dialogue and characters that feel like planks of wood. I really can't understate just how terrible I think most serious attempts at storytelling in games are to me.

What if you had to watch it over and over again for 20+ hours.

Sounds like your movie taste tbf.

It's not my fault you can't recognize bad writing.

Given what I've already seen of the game's story I am extremely doubtful that the guy went from hack to genius partway through for no apparent reason. It's a fair assumption that if writing is bad at the beginning it's going to stay bad.

If the best defense you can mount is to try and get me to admit it might be better than watching Jack and Jill on repeat, I might have won by default.

It sounds like you're talking out of your ass because you haven't watched any of them, but I've played a ton of story heavy games on both PC, Playstation and Xbox. I just don't anymore.

Akai

Yeah, that was a deadly serious point your honour.

I've seen every film you have and I've written a detailed analysis.

Why not?

Cool, I was running out of stuff to read.

Because I got fed up with bad writing and because I think most games with significant amounts of cut-scenes and/or dialogue would be better without.

I honestly can't mention a game that isn't a point-and-click adventure where I thought the story was good. Some games have moments that work, but overall, it's just trash. I shouldn't have to say this, but I just want to make clear that it's just my personal take. I find games to generally have horribly tepid, poorly written narratives and the focus games commonly place on story these days bothers me big time.

I don't play games much anymore, but when I do, it's almost always 100% gameplay oriented stuff like fighting games, arcade shooters and stealth games like the old Tenchu series.

The focus on open worlds, storytelling, online aspects and RPG mechanics really kinda spoiled the party for me and I kinda lost interest in keeping up with new games.

Akai

Fair enough.

Now you're speaking my language.

It's Jack and Jill tho. That's like 10 times worse than Little Nicky. I haven't played The Witcher but i doubt it's Jack and Jill bad.
