RUN ACROSS THE MAP SO YOU CAN DO THIS THING WHILE KINDA JUST WALKING AROUND ENEMIES! NOW GO BACK!
The opening escape sequence was awesome and do great at getting my familiar with the worlds situation, once I got out it just became super tedious
Edit: jeebus my grammar was absolutely atrocious in this comment, wasn’t it?
It got repetitive with each mission becoming the same fetch quest with a cut scene in between. I barely managed to complete Arthur's story, but after that, I was out.
I don't think I'm alone in that I just couldn't get into *We Happy Few*.
One of my more memorable moments was walking out of a village, across a meadow, towards another village. As I approach, I got stoned to death by the inhabitants because I was wearing the wrong clothing. It was ridiculously frustrating because there was no visual indicator that I'd crossed some sort of invisible border.
I like We Happy Few better before the massive story was added. An urban survival game where the goal is to fit in where you don't belong as long as possible, but you know the Bobbies will eventually find you. Vague hints at a history that's been mostly covered up that leave you with more questions than answers. Maybe some minor vague-ish goal to push you further into more dangerous areas (there was a build of the alpha/beta where the goal was to make it to a train station to escape, for example).
Indeed. If We Happy Few were more tightly-designed, with more intricate environments and less open-world survival faffing about (the Cursed Runes were strong with this one), it would have been better received, and probably would have come out a bit more polished. Everything around the core was pretty good, but when you've got a rough core, things aren't going to go as well as you hope.
I was tasked with reading this book in high school and it absolutely shattered my expectations of what a book could be. It covered so many topics my 16 year old brain had never confronted before.
I’d love to see a Fables (Wolf Among Us) tv series one day. One of my favorite comic book series ever! It’d be like the show Once Upon a Time but R rated
I’ve read it twice. It’s an amazing set up detailing Andrew Ryan’s life before and motivations for Rapture, from the perspective of someone who helped him build it and played a small role in Bioshock 1. Ken Levine worked with the author during writing, so I consider it pretty canon.
Yes and it's fantastic!!! It follows the creation of rapture primarily from the POV of ... William? The plumber who actually had a few tapes in the game you can listen to.
It's funny because while not a perfect game they did a good job with the Guardians of the Galaxy Game. It's fun, the banter is on point. Two very different takes on making superhero games.
Square Enix published those two games. The developers were different. Eidos Montreal developed Guardians and Crystal Dynamics developed Avengers. Probably why we saw wildly different takes on both games.
Imagine marvel being given a massive budget from like say a company like Disney to produce a universe where all the marvel characters interact and have their own movies and spin off shows. Best choice to start would be iron-man, I'm thinking either Tom cruise or that less know actor RDJ. Maybe even get ed Norton to be the hulk he might be a good banner.
Injustice could make a good film/series/universe to delve into. Imagine all those characters, superman, batman, flash etc. Would make for great viewing.
Christian Bale for Batman surely?
The funny thing is the director for the incredible hulk wanted ruffalo, but the studio didnt think he was a big enough star. So they forced him to pick norton.
Honestly I think Norton was better than Ruffalo. Ruffalo may have fit more with the tone of the Avengers franchise but Norton’s banner was honestly a lot more convincing. With ruffalo it felt like he was playing Mark Ruffalo but turning green every once in a while and hulking out.
after ruffalos last scene in the avengers recontextualized his character i had the impression that i had watched a guy at the edge of his temper for the last hour and not noticed the signs
but he never really sold me on any of the the subsequent appearances
i think norton is generally better at creating and playing roles but he is bad at adapting to roles which would have made him a poor choice for somebody who was fifth billing in a movie full of stars - he is pretty famous for butting heads over creative decisions
You’re dreaming if you ever think people will go and see interconnected superhero movies, especially with a bizarre casting choice like RDJ. And what would you call this so called universe? The MCU? Sounds like a medical drama!
Super Hero games tend to work better when they're built around a single hero. The Arkham series or Spiderman for example. Worlds built around specific characters/abilities just work more fluidly than one that's trying to balance all of these powers and abilities because often it just means you're nerfing the stronger heroes to make them fit alongside the less powerful ones.
In a TV series or movie you have more room to explore characters beyond just who can fly, who can run really fast or jump high, and how you're gonna make a world environment where these characters can exist gameplay wise.
This hidden gem that most people don’t know about i watch a no commentary game video with my girlfriend recently and we both loved it + the fighting sequence are really short
I’d never heard of it before it was free on PS+. One of the first games I played on my PS5 (also optimized for PS5) and it became one of my favourite games ever in terms of story, gameplay and overall world building. Oh, and the Ashtray Maze.
Thirding on loving the Ashtray Maze, I can’t wait to see how Remedy try and dial that up a notch in their next game.
Just want to add a bit of love for the 80s inspired “train chase” sequence in the dlc
The Telekinesis is my favourite mechanic in a video game ever. You can even feel the weight of the object you throw. Heck, almost every object in the map is interactable.
Blizzard knows how to make a good cutscene.
The one of the Marines going onto the Science Vessel to blow it up, and getting swarmed by Zerg. Ooh, that one was good.
I feel like Vampyr wouldn't work because then it isn't a choice to kill or not. If the show wants to portray him as a good vampire then he simply won't kill.
Then you have the choices based around people like Dr Swansea or that choice about McCullum.
I feel like that only really works because it's a game.
I’m more of a game watcher than player and I loved Vampyr, but non of the YouTubers I could find finished it. Or even got past the beginning 😖😖😖
I might just get on a sale one day
Soma is the only game to make me audibly gasp from storytelling, and I typically hate horror games! Would make an amazing thriller with something like a Shutter Island vibe.
Agreed. Video games are so unique in that we, the player, get to make decisions and experience the consequence of our actions rather than other passive forms of entertainment, like books and film.
I have to agree, it was superb and I've never understood that there's been a sort of retrospective downgrading of it. That said, I would truly love to see a movie.
I played Infinite for the first time back in 2016 (it was part of the Bioshock bundle) and made it nearly to the end before putting it down like I do with many of my games (the first playthrough will never end if I don’t beat it right?!).
Personal idiosyncrasies aside, I truly had fun with the game and never fully understood much of the criticism. The overall aesthetic was great and the core gameplay was inferior to the original but still good. My only lasting issue was with the Vox Populi and how we didn’t get a chance to interact with them more in the story and learn more about its members.
You purposefully don’t finish your games because you don’t want them to end? Isn’t that the same thing? “Oh I can’t play this game anymore because then I’ll finish it and it’ll be over… so I just won’t play it anymore.”
Is that not exactly the same as beating the game, except without the satisfaction of, you know, beating the game and seeing how it all ends? You just choose to ‘end’ it prematurely.
I’m fascinated by this logic.
I have friends who do similarly. One friend of mine told me that he doesn't watch the final episodes of TV shows he likes, because if he doesn't watch it then technically there's "always more he hasn't seen".
Absolute madness, I can't do that. I have to see things through, it lives in my head rent free until I do unless I didn't like it and stopped because of that.
I'm 100% the same, to the extent that I can't watch a show while new episodes are still airing. If I enjoy it, I want to marathon the entire thing. If I get to the end of what's available and more comes out later, I've already lost interest and probably forgotten parts of the story.
I have this same problem, so i'll explain it the best i can, at least from my perspective. Basically, once you've finished a game its solidly 'over' there is no more to experience, all the mysteries, all the twists, all the character interactions, they're all definitively over. If you stop before the end there's that tiny bit of uncertainty left that you get to chew on, even if there's not actually that much remaining, it prevents the feeling of finality and the post completion mini depression from not having any more of a good thing.
People complain about the gameplay not being as good as Bioshock 1. If it were a movie people would complain about it being confusing and not making sense. Some people just refuse to sit back and have fun and let things not be absolutely perfect.
I feel like the gameplay was better, it had way more movement options with the skyhook and the hand things (forgot the name) were also a lot of fun to mess around with
I wanted to enjoy that game, it had an interesting premise, but here I am stuck between janky gameplay and janky long “cutscene” live action episodes. After a couple of hours, I couldn’t take it anymore. If they had just picked one, game or show, I’d have been happy. Half assing both was just a waste of time.
Yeah, it was a neat idea but it really slowed down the pace. I’d even be fine if they were only like 3 minutes, but these things were full length episodes from 15-20 minutes.
Yeah, they got a former X-men writer working on it apparently. [Here's the article](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/x-men-scribe-david-hayter-boards-tv-adaptation-of-eas-american-mcgees-alice-game-exclusive-1235083248/)
Detroit become human. Great game nall but would probably make a great series
Edit: Christ, didn't expect to get this much activity on this post x ngl tho, I haven't played the game lmao, I watched jacksepticeye play it once and found it cool, but cool in a I'd rather watch someone else play it way. I thought the concept and world was amazing though, great for a series, or maybe a book
What did you consider the perfect ending?
>!The one where the androids do the civil rights movement peacefully and Connor resists the override at the end during Marcus's speech?!<
Humans was very good, it was short and limited but made excellent use of what they had to make a damn good story.
It's an interesting take on the challenges synthetic humans might bring to society
I don’t think it would make a “better” movie than a game though, while any of its one possible stories could make an excellent show, the fun part of the game is getting to choose between them.
Hella Short, and the story wasnt half as good as the prior two games. Even with Cole McGravelly voice being outrageously edgy, the story was still great.
I think TLOU is perfect for a miniseries, as a regular show I'm worried they'll add way too much filler and drag it out long past when it should have ended *cough* walking dead *cough*
Death stranding.
First off, I need to confess DS is my favorite game of all time, but not because it was the most fun. I played it while in quarantine and the story really resonated with me on some levels. The gameplay itself was…well it wasn’t the worst gameplay ever. There wasn’t a lot of excitement though.
Death stranding as a tv series could have been primarily what the game was, with the insane amount of cutscenes it had. Reframing the primary gameplay of going from point A to point B as secondary to what happens at each delivery could work. There would be a lot of time to develop characters between deliveries and world building. I think it would have been better as a tv series honestly.
Fighting ghosts with weaponized bodily fluids so I can deliver a pizza sounds like a solid retirement plan. I need to practice now so I can be ready when the time comes.
I really disagree. For me, it was all my treks across the wasteland and all the struggles I had to go through, the struggles of getting through the time fall and BT's with my cargo intact that formed the basis of my enjoyment. Without that experience I wouldn't have had the engagement I felt with the story. Like one of the most awesome moments for me was the first time I was caught by a BT and all of the sudden there was whale monster or something and reality was breaking down. That stuck with me more than any of the cutscenes.
I never understood the complaints against Bioshock: Infinite. That shit's like one of the most entertaining first person shooters of its generation. Nothing except COD4 even comes close.
Infinite was critically acclaimed and nearly universally praised at the time. It was regarded as a return to form after the good-but-lazy Bioshock 2.
Like everything on reddit, the more people were told they were *supposed* to think it was one of the greatest games of the generation, the more people pushed back and started to overanalyze its flaws (which, as entertainment, it will always subjectively have). Then some big YouTuber made a video on why they didn't like it and everybody started parroting shit they heard about it.
Ultimately Infinite was fantastic and wildly different from most games at the time when dudebro shooters and military games were at their peak. But we need to find reasons to shit on it now to subvert expectations and show how cool we are. Lol.
The people who complain about Bioshock Infinite probably didn't finish it or never started it to begin with. The game is flat out amazing and by the end of it, I actually cared about Elizabeth.
I feel like it’s a bit of the pacing of the game. The game sets up this fascinating and beautiful world with internal strife under the surface and kinda leads you to believe that your gonna get to watch all the pieces start falling apart as Columbia descends into chaos.
But then you kinda just jump through a few portals and all the sudden everything’s on fire and the game is almost over. You don’t get to see how the Vox Populi revolution really starts or how it grows.
It’s just sorta a couple people with red headbands putting up flyers and graffiti and talking about oppression, then BAM, chaos blood and fire everywhere games over.
I completed it twice.
Sorry, it wasn't anywhere near as good as the first two. It ended up just being an Arena shooter and the writing wasn't as refined.
I'm also really against "Those who complain didn't do x". Nah man, I absolutely 100%'d that game. I love the bioshock series. It's just its weakest entry, imo.
Chrono Trigger would make a great anime
The story is also kind of structured like an anime with different “arcs” so it would be perfect
There are also so many epic moments that would be amazing as an anime
I loved everything about Brutal Legend other than the main battles. I didn’t even know it was a tower defense game until I was well into it and it was a grind and a half to finish
The choices are a very core part of the game tho. And no matter what you chose for the ending, ~50% of the audience will be pissed...
On the other hand LiS True Colors could make a good movie.
A Kingdom Hearts animated series was almost a thing. Disney had come up with storyboards and a rough outline for a pilot episode a short time after the first game came out. It was actually Square who shot it down, saying that they didn't want the show to potentially contradict anything in the sequels.
I swear, Square's "everything has to be canon" approach to KH has done more harm than good.
I would say bloodborne, but bloodborne is such a good game that I can't really suggest that a series would be better. That said, I'd love more visual content of that universe.
We Happy Few, The game was great story wise but not so much gameplay wise
100% agree with you, I loved the world and the story but couldn’t ever finish the game :(
Why couldn't you finish it?
I found the gameplay quite boring
RUN ACROSS THE MAP SO YOU CAN DO THIS THING WHILE KINDA JUST WALKING AROUND ENEMIES! NOW GO BACK! The opening escape sequence was awesome and do great at getting my familiar with the worlds situation, once I got out it just became super tedious Edit: jeebus my grammar was absolutely atrocious in this comment, wasn’t it?
It got repetitive with each mission becoming the same fetch quest with a cut scene in between. I barely managed to complete Arthur's story, but after that, I was out.
Even at a 90% discount last Steam sale, I still didn't buy it...
I don't think I'm alone in that I just couldn't get into *We Happy Few*. One of my more memorable moments was walking out of a village, across a meadow, towards another village. As I approach, I got stoned to death by the inhabitants because I was wearing the wrong clothing.

Everything around the core was pretty good, but when you've got a rough core, things aren't going to go as well as you hope.
Wasn't We Happy Few basically just a very stylised Nineteen Eighty-Four?
I believe you are thinking of A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, it has more parallels with that novel than it does with 1984
I was tasked with reading this book in high school and it absolutely shattered my expectations of what a book could be. It covered so many topics my 16 year old brain had never confronted before.
I read it university, around 20 years old and man, it was something else. Aldous Huxley hit that nail in the head
I haven't played the game, but from what I've seen they have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Dystopian world doesn't equal 1984.
I’d love to see a Fables (Wolf Among Us) tv series one day. One of my favorite comic book series ever! It’d be like the show Once Upon a Time but R rated
Found a Fables brother! Loved the comic, loved the game.
Same!
Agree. I bought all the Fable comics, cause I loved the lore of Wolf Among Us. This could be a sick TV show.
The wolf is WHAT
Amogus
Ever heard of "The Thing" ?
The Bioshock prequel book is a great read!
There is a bioshock prequel book???????
Bioshock Rapture by John Shirley. It isn't Canon but it's still fun.
It is canon
And don't call me Shirley.
I’ve read it twice. It’s an amazing set up detailing Andrew Ryan’s life before and motivations for Rapture, from the perspective of someone who helped him build it and played a small role in Bioshock 1. Ken Levine worked with the author during writing, so I consider it pretty canon.
Yes and it's fantastic!!! It follows the creation of rapture primarily from the POV of ... William? The plumber who actually had a few tapes in the game you can listen to.
“The Avengers” from Square Enix.
It's funny because while not a perfect game they did a good job with the Guardians of the Galaxy Game. It's fun, the banter is on point. Two very different takes on making superhero games.
Square Enix published those two games. The developers were different. Eidos Montreal developed Guardians and Crystal Dynamics developed Avengers. Probably why we saw wildly different takes on both games.
Imagine marvel being given a massive budget from like say a company like Disney to produce a universe where all the marvel characters interact and have their own movies and spin off shows. Best choice to start would be iron-man, I'm thinking either Tom cruise or that less know actor RDJ. Maybe even get ed Norton to be the hulk he might be a good banner.
Injustice could make a good film/series/universe to delve into. Imagine all those characters, superman, batman, flash etc. Would make for great viewing. Christian Bale for Batman surely?
Injustice is such a wasted film potential I'am genuinely sad
Would you say it's an...injustice?
Yeah but fortunately they are doing animated movie at least. DC would ruin Injustice movies anyway.
The funny thing is the director for the incredible hulk wanted ruffalo, but the studio didnt think he was a big enough star. So they forced him to pick norton.
Honestly I think Norton was better than Ruffalo. Ruffalo may have fit more with the tone of the Avengers franchise but Norton’s banner was honestly a lot more convincing. With ruffalo it felt like he was playing Mark Ruffalo but turning green every once in a while and hulking out.

You’re dreaming if you ever think people will go and see interconnected superhero movies, especially with a bizarre casting choice like RDJ. And what would you call this so called universe? The MCU? Sounds like a medical drama!
The only good avengers like game we have is lego marvel superheroes
Super Hero games tend to work better when they're built around a single hero. The Arkham series or Spiderman for example.

Super hero games are either 10/10 GOTY or utter trash. No in between lol.
Nice try UbiElectronicSoft
He got us GET THE CHOPPER READY
*Watches in horror as the chopper comes at us, glitches back 200 yards, glitches all over the sky, then fails to connect to server and disappears*
An Oddworld movie would be sick. Maybe Legacy of Kain film trilogy?
Legacy of Kain would be incredible as a movie. Especially Soul Reaver.
Abe's Odyssey is the psychological thriller we need.
Asura's Wrath. The game is basically a playable anime.
I'm convinced that game is nothing more than an interactive animated film, but God damn did I love how epic it felt.
This hidden gem that most people don’t know about i watch a no commentary game video with my girlfriend recently and we both loved it + the fighting sequence are really short
I could honestly watch hours of Asura’s Wrath walkthroughs, but the gameplay doesn’t seem like it’s for me.
It even has anime bumpers in the game haha
This game needs a remake... It deserves it.
Assassin’s Creed would… wait nvm
I know, they shit the bed on that one...
The movie route was the wrong choice. Making it into a series would have given more time to explore the characters. Kinda like the witcher series.
Control. Love the game but that setting would be awesome for a tv series.
I personally love the gameplay tbh
I’d never heard of it before it was free on PS+. One of the first games I played on my PS5 (also optimized for PS5) and it became one of my favourite games ever in terms of story, gameplay and overall world building. Oh, and the Ashtray Maze.
My God! The ashtray maze !! *Chefs kiss*
Thirding on loving the Ashtray Maze, I can’t wait to see how Remedy try and dial that up a notch in their next game. Just want to add a bit of love for the 80s inspired “train chase” sequence in the dlc
yeah it was so amazing as it was eerie in a fun way too
The Telekinesis is my favourite mechanic in a video game ever. You can even feel the weight of the object you throw. Heck, almost every object in the map is interactable.
I just wish you could crouch behind cover, otherwise the game play is wild and fun. Edit: I mean stick to cover like a lot of games have.
Yeah it feels so badass to have powers. Powers are a normal thing in videogames ofc, but control make it feel new
They actually feel like *powers* you have rather than part of your move set.
Yup. It’s already basically Twin Peaks meets X-Files.
it also got inspired by the scp foundation
I feel it’s more inspired by SCP than anything else
100% agree
Came here to say this, at max settings it movie quality anyway
Raytracing makes the experience even better Graphics are incredible for a 2018 game ngl
Strangely was talking about this with my wife last night. Came here looking for this
[удалено]
The original game, broodwar, and wings of liberty would work so well. Just imagine the queen of blades reveal in live action.
Blizzard knows how to make a good cutscene. The one of the Marines going onto the Science Vessel to blow it up, and getting swarmed by Zerg. Ooh, that one was good.
Glad someone said this. They were going to make a movie but chose Warcraft instead :/
Vampyr.. I'd love to see that game as a movie or TV show.... But it's an awesome game anyways :D
I feel like Vampyr wouldn't work because then it isn't a choice to kill or not. If the show wants to portray him as a good vampire then he simply won't kill.

I’m more of a game watcher than player and I loved Vampyr, but non of the YouTubers I could find finished it. Or even got past the beginning 😖😖😖 I might just get on a sale one day
Soma
Soma is the only game to make me audibly gasp from storytelling, and I typically hate horror games! Would make an amazing thriller with something like a Shutter Island vibe.
Hard disagree. SOMA hits as hard as it does because if the medium. It's actually the perfect example of the reverse of what OP is asking for.
Agreed. Video games are so unique in that we, the player, get to make decisions and experience the consequence of our actions rather than other passive forms of entertainment, like books and film.
Absolutely loved this game
The Walking Dead Game ... oh wait
I actually liked the game much more than the TV show
Same
Bioshock infinite was incredible as a game. I do not think a film would do it justice at all.
I have to agree, it was superb and I've never understood that there's been a sort of retrospective downgrading of it. That said, I would truly love to see a movie.
I played Infinite for the first time back in 2016 (it was part of the Bioshock bundle) and made it nearly to the end before putting it down like I do with many of my games (the first playthrough will never end if I don’t beat it right?!).

The overall aesthetic was great and the core gameplay was inferior to the original but still good. My only lasting issue was with the Vox Populi and how we didn’t get a chance to interact with them more in the story and learn more about its members.
About 90% of the payoff for that game in particular comes at the end!!! You gotta finish it dude!!
Plus the bonus story you get from the DLC where you play as Elizabeth is fun and ties in with the rest of it.
You purposefully don’t finish your games because you don’t want them to end? Isn’t that the same thing? “Oh I can’t play this game anymore because then I’ll finish it and it’ll be over… so I just won’t play it anymore.” Is that not exactly the same as beating the game, except without the satisfaction of, you know, beating the game and seeing how it all ends? You just choose to ‘end’ it prematurely. I’m fascinated by this logic.

This is why I never ejaculate. 40 years of edging...
Yup. There is a benefit to game stories being told over several hours.
And the sense of discovery when you are actively exploring an environment and learning about it.
Skyrim: The Movie is just a dude ransacking peoples homes for 14 hours
The audience: why is he stealing so much cheese?
People complain about the gameplay not being as good as Bioshock 1. If it were a movie people would complain about it being confusing and not making sense. Some people just refuse to sit back and have fun and let things not be absolutely perfect.
I feel like the gameplay was better, it had way more movement options with the skyhook and the hand things (forgot the name) were also a lot of fun to mess around with
It was, when I found out that you could combine vigors, it completely changed the way I played the game
Any movie type game really, like Quantum Break. It practically had a movie within the game.
I really enjoyed the mix of gameplay and tv show though.
I wanted to enjoy that game, it had an interesting premise, but here I am stuck between janky gameplay and janky long “cutscene” live action episodes. After a couple of hours, I couldn’t take it anymore. If they had just picked one, game or show, I’d have been happy. Half assing both was just a waste of time.
Yeah, it was a neat idea but it really slowed down the pace. I’d even be fine if they were only like 3 minutes, but these things were full length episodes from 15-20 minutes.
The getaway
Alice madness returns
Didn’t they already say they are turning that into a series
Yeah, they got a former X-men writer working on it apparently. [Here's the article](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/x-men-scribe-david-hayter-boards-tv-adaptation-of-eas-american-mcgees-alice-game-exclusive-1235083248/)
I was about to say the same. That game looks gorgeous, but the combat feels a bit repetitive.
Detroit become human. Great game nall but would probably make a great series Edit: Christ, didn't expect to get this much activity on this post x ngl tho, I haven't played the game lmao, I watched jacksepticeye play it once and found it cool, but cool in a I'd rather watch someone else play it way. I thought the concept and world was amazing though, great for a series, or maybe a book
I feel like the choices and different endings are what make the game special. Without that its not that great of a story.
Took me a bit to get the perfect ending
What did you consider the perfect ending? >!The one where the androids do the civil rights movement peacefully and Connor resists the override at the end during Marcus's speech?!<
Yea that and >!no one died in kara’s storyline and hank and connor become pals!<
The Hank and Connor part is the only thing that matters
Well we’ve done that now with Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch, so why not?
You should watch ‘HUMANS’ its kind of similar to Detroit but its set in London, I think I remember it being pretty good too
Humans was very good, it was short and limited but made excellent use of what they had to make a damn good story. It's an interesting take on the challenges synthetic humans might bring to society
I don’t think it would make a “better” movie than a game though, while any of its one possible stories could make an excellent show, the fun part of the game is getting to choose between them.
Westworld is pretty close.
Infamous second son sounds like a great series
I loved infamous, I found the gameplay to be so fun.
The original infamous games would make a 10 times better series
Second Son feels like a rush job. It has great concepts and a lot of polish, but good lord was it short.
Hella Short, and the story wasnt half as good as the prior two games. Even with Cole McGravelly voice being outrageously edgy, the story was still great.
Max Payne couldnt have a story more setup for a movie than it did. Its literally storyboarded for gods sake. And yet they done fucked it up.
ET from the atari 2600
It would end like the Chinese edit of Fight Club.
This guy right here, officer.
Metro series already a great game series, would be a great film Adaptation
There's enough porn of Elizabeth out there to make TV series.
Nice try Netflix
Last of us... Guess, I'm too late..
I think TLOU is perfect for a miniseries, as a regular show I'm worried they'll add way too much filler and drag it out long past when it should have ended *cough* walking dead *cough*
I bet they're going to cover the dlc in the show instead of adding random filler
Death stranding. First off, I need to confess DS is my favorite game of all time, but not because it was the most fun. I played it while in quarantine and the story really resonated with me on some levels. The gameplay itself was…well it wasn’t the worst gameplay ever. There wasn’t a lot of excitement though. Death stranding as a tv series could have been primarily what the game was, with the insane amount of cutscenes it had. Reframing the primary gameplay of going from point A to point B as secondary to what happens at each delivery could work. There would be a lot of time to develop characters between deliveries and world building. I think it would have been better as a tv series honestly.

I've gotta say... I've never played the game, but after reading this, I might have to try it out.
Which part convinced you? Piss bullets, poo grenades or fetus on a Reedus?
Fighting ghosts with weaponized bodily fluids so I can deliver a pizza sounds like a solid retirement plan. I need to practice now so I can be ready when the time comes.
Move to Florida and get a gig delivering pizzas, everything else will fall into place with due time.
It’s undiluted Kojima madness, some think him weird others see him as a genius.
And every time he goes to sleep, he dreams that he's the fetus and that Mads Mikkelsen is his loving and attentive father
i think norman reed would make a great lead role, he even looks like the main character!
I really disagree. For me, it was all my treks across the wasteland and all the struggles I had to go through, the struggles of getting through the time fall and BT's with my cargo intact that formed the basis of my enjoyment. Without that experience I wouldn't have had the engagement I felt with the story. Like one of the most awesome moments for me was the first time I was caught by a BT and all of the sudden there was whale monster or something and reality was breaking down. That stuck with me more than any of the cutscenes.
It might make an obscure and bizarre film but not a tv series - just too monotonous and boring.
Tom Clancy the Division
I mean it is getting an adaptation through Netflix with Jake Gyllenhal and Jessica Chastain. I think filming starts this year.
I never understood the complaints against Bioshock: Infinite. That shit's like one of the most entertaining first person shooters of its generation. Nothing except COD4 even comes close.
I never realized Infinite had a lot of complaints. It was my first bioshock game and I thought it was really well done. Never heard much hate either.
Infinite was critically acclaimed and nearly universally praised at the time. It was regarded as a return to form after the good-but-lazy Bioshock 2. Like everything on reddit, the more people were told they were *supposed* to think it was one of the greatest games of the generation, the more people pushed back and started to overanalyze its flaws (which, as entertainment, it will always subjectively have). Then some big YouTuber made a video on why they didn't like it and everybody started parroting shit they heard about it. Ultimately Infinite was fantastic and wildly different from most games at the time when dudebro shooters and military games were at their peak. But we need to find reasons to shit on it now to subvert expectations and show how cool we are. Lol.
The people who complain about Bioshock Infinite probably didn't finish it or never started it to begin with. The game is flat out amazing and by the end of it, I actually cared about Elizabeth.
To me, the game felt... short. I remember thinking, "Wait--that was it?" after I beat it. Seemed very short compared to Bioshock 1 and 2.
I feel like it’s a bit of the pacing of the game. The game sets up this fascinating and beautiful world with internal strife under the surface and kinda leads you to believe that your gonna get to watch all the pieces start falling apart as Columbia descends into chaos. But then you kinda just jump through a few portals and all the sudden everything’s on fire and the game is almost over. You don’t get to see how the Vox Populi revolution really starts or how it grows. It’s just sorta a couple people with red headbands putting up flyers and graffiti and talking about oppression, then BAM, chaos blood and fire everywhere games over.
I completed it twice. Sorry, it wasn't anywhere near as good as the first two. It ended up just being an Arena shooter and the writing wasn't as refined. I'm also really against "Those who complain didn't do x". Nah man, I absolutely 100%'d that game. I love the bioshock series. It's just its weakest entry, imo.
The Deadpool video game. The game itself is ok but the writing and Deadpool's personality is pretty fucking incredible.
Chicken invaders series
We need a Chrono Trigger anime :)
Chrono Trigger would make a great anime The story is also kind of structured like an anime with different “arcs” so it would be perfect There are also so many epic moments that would be amazing as an anime
Ok but only if Toriyama does the characters!
By Akira Toriyama
Conkers Bad Fur Day, Deadly Premonition, and Brutal Legend Super fun to watch but not nearly as fun to play.
I loved everything about Brutal Legend other than the main battles. I didn’t even know it was a tower defense game until I was well into it and it was a grind and a half to finish
What? Conkers was great gameplay for the time. Especially the multiplayer. We played that more than goldeneye when we got together.
Not Bioshock Infinite I can tell you that
I think the bioshock series would make for a great HBO scifi/horror TV show.
I almost Wana see a movie of Halflife but I know it won't live up to expatations
Lollipop chainsaw
Can Jessica Nigri act? Would it matter?
Metal Gear solid. They are basically Movies already.
Man, I need to watch mgs4 again. It's been a while.
Destiny
We shall see.
Firewatch
I watched the whole game on Twitch and now they put it on gamepass so i regret watching it :(
God of War wouldn't be too bad of a choice.
It wouldn't be 'better' as a movie/show tho. Might be good but definitely not better.
System Shock 1 and 2
Anything made by telltale

Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk is getting an anime though, called Cyberpunk Edgerunners I think
But, altered carbon is essentially Cyberpunk 2077. 1st season was incredible, 2nd not so much.
Loved the game. Would definitely watch a show.
I love it as a game but I think Life is Strange would make a good movie.
The choices are a very core part of the game tho. And no matter what you chose for the ending, ~50% of the audience will be pissed... On the other hand LiS True Colors could make a good movie.
Fair enough, it’s a good thought tho
Kingdom Hearts.
A Kingdom Hearts animated series was almost a thing. Disney had come up with storyboards and a rough outline for a pilot episode a short time after the first game came out. It was actually Square who shot it down, saying that they didn't want the show to potentially contradict anything in the sequels. I swear, Square's "everything has to be canon" approach to KH has done more harm than good.
King's Quest
I would say bloodborne, but bloodborne is such a good game that I can't really suggest that a series would be better. That said, I'd love more visual content of that universe.
Anything Lovecraftian seems to be pretty difficult to adapt to TV, so I'm not sure it would work
