literally impossible to adapt to the big screen
>war bad! Hmmm idk seems easy to do buddy
>>214632690Yeah it's much too clever and sophisticated for the tawdry medium of film.
>>214632690Has been done many times.
literally apocalypse now for zoomies. don't need a movie adaptation like gta series.
>>214632690Also a very mediocre game. The story is kind of impressive and is clearly suited for the video game medium, and while it's special in a way it is also largely forgettable.It has more going for it than most video games. Most video games are bad or borderline unplayable. This game is just a somewhat vapid, wannabe-Rainbow Six game with a well-crafted story. Its shining moment is the ending and choosing to go out like a mind-broken psychopath -- and that is your choice.2.5/5. Try it, even if it won't be your favorite.Thank you very much, next question?
>>214633088>wannabe-Rainbow Six gameIt's more like Gears of War. It's not a tactical military game, it's a simplistic third-person cover-shooter.
>>214632690>movie adaptation of a game adaptation of a movie adaptation of a book
>>214632690Ironically [or not] the violence is the best part about this game
>>214632690Good example of why films are an inferior artistic medium to videogames
>bland war is le bad story with terrible gameplay but it's remembered cause muh nostalgia
>>214633209Sort of, but it has the squad tactics that I don't remember being an option in Gears. You can have your teammates kill certain people, but it's pointless since to do that you need your reticle over them and at that point you may as well pull the trigger yourself.I think it's most useful for those targets that are armored, but that's barely prevalent in the game. It's a half-baked feature for sure.
>>214633389people have nostalgia for things that were huge hits at a time. this game has always been niche
>>214632690Why are Millennials so obsessed with the idea of VG adaptations, video game stories (yes, including the "deep" arty ones) themselves are all shitty, shallow, and highly derivative of movies and /tv/.
>>214633675>shitty, shallow, and highly derivative of movies and /tv/.You could say the same about comic books, yet here we are drowning in a sea of capeshit films.
>>214633740>You could say the same about comic booksI do
>>214633675Videogames have evolved past that now. Many film adaptations of original videogames are shallow versions of the source material
>>214633800>Videogames have evolved past that nowLMAO, tell me a game made in the past decade with a truly original, cinematic or supracinematic story. It doesn't exist.>Many film adaptations of original videogames are shallow versions of the source materialBecause the source material itself is either shit or not worth taking seriously.
>>214633843Darkwood
>>214633858>DarkwoodPicrel did it decades ago.
>>214633843>tell me a game made in the past decade with a truly original, cinematic or supracinematic story.Disco Elysium, Fran Bow, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
>>214633908So what? The film was also loosely based on a novel. Almost every piece of media takes some amount of inspiration from past works.
>>214633932>Disco ElysiumI could name any number of dystopian Soviet films.>Fran BowIt's just edgy Tim Burton-tier stuff from a different pov, i.e Sleepy Hollow or Sweeney Todd.>The Excavation of Hob's BarrowThe Wicker Man, or any quaity folk horror for that matter.
>>214633843>truly originalEvery movie you will claim a game stole from, also stole from something which came before it.
>>214633937>Almost every piece of media takes some amount of inspiration from past works.The difference is with video games is that games are an interactive and not narrative medium, so thus translating a non-narrative medium to a narrative medium is a fool's errand because you inherently neuter the interactive element of a game, which is the entire point of a game vs. film or book in the first place.
>>214634020>Every movie you will claim a game stole from, also stole from something which came before it.I agree, it's just that games are egregious offenders because they are not a narrative medium.
>>214634046My point was that videogames are quite original as well nowadays and not always shallow versions of films. They have grown significantly past that now
>>214634117>videogames are quite original as well nowadaysThey're not even as original as they were 20 years ago despite blips from the Indie scene.>They have grown significantly past that nowThey only look better now or seem deerper because film has sunk so low.
>>214634009>It's just edgy Tim Burton-tier stuffNo, it's more than that. It blends fairytale and phantasmagoria in a way that is truly novel, with the power to shock and unsettle us, and it would make a more interesting film than anything Burton has put out in the 21st-century.
>>214634211>No, it's more than thatIt isn't.I get that Ebert buck broke you guys but the simple fact of the matter is that /v/ is not like /lit/ or /tv/. I don't think it isn't an art form, but it's completely apples to oranges compared to kino or literature.
did anyone ever find out who willy pete was?
>>214634232I think you're just narrow-minded on this subject. And you do yourself no favours by invoking Ebert, Lord of Midwits.
>>214634184>They're not even as original as they were 20 years ago despite blips from the Indie scene.Still doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of original videogames. Your argument against the originality of these games were that they were based on or inspired by previous media, but that also applies to films and even books or any other medium.
>>214634263>I think you're just narrow-minded on this subject.I gave up on /v/ around age 14 to focus on books and movies for my entertainment and intellectual stuff. I do not regret it at all despite regretting many things in my life.>invoking Ebert, Lord of MidwitsEbert is wrong on most things but his takedown of video game pseuds is one of the only things about him I really appreciate and kind of respect, it causes immense seethe to this day.
>>214634344>I gave up on /v/ around age 14 to focus on books and movies for my entertainment and intellectual stuff.You probably got your ass whipped in an online game and then abandoned the hobby out of frustration. "But it's totally my own choice! It's because I've matured out of gaming."
>>214634447>You probably got your ass whipped in an online gameI never played online, I always played single player games because I never had any real friends or time to go online.
>>214634465Well now you've played an online game. The game where I manipulate you and make you confess to being a friendless loner.
>>214634677>The game where I manipulate you and make you confess to being a friendless lonerWe're on 4chan at 1 in the morning, if we weren't all friendless loners we'd be normalfags elsewhere
>>214634718It's 9am in my country. I suppose the point still stands.But wretched as I am, at least I'm not a fucking tripfag.
>>214634808>at least I'm not a fucking tripfag.Neither am I, retard
>>214634819As if there's really an important distinction between the cocksucking tripfag and the salad-tossing namefag.
>sudden uptick in spec ops the line threadsthey're re-releasing it on storefronts soon and are hoping to get a rush of sales from it by getting it back in the public conciousness before hand, I take it? how the fuck does marketing even work on anyone if it's this transparent? i really don't understand.
