Message: [QUOTE="qw90700, post: 263748, member: 660650"] While I like Contra Force as best on NES in run and shoot side scrolling genre games, but compared Arcade games since NES-era games are not a game for real which is the idea I wrote considering what this thread about and why game magazines back then had this idea to begin with. So cutscenes and story is one thing killed arcade gaming, because it distorted the sense of what games should be. SNES and PS1-era ruined it further. Now they develop games like Death Stranding that there is no gameplay to begin with, but people just love to watch cutscene. So the issue is not walking, the issue is also mindless dull killing as how Contra games were and it's not fun IMO. Contra Force wasn't a game for me, it was a good tool for time wasting and IDK just relax lol. Arcade games were played for fun, console games played to waste time, PC games played to experience something richer to waste time. Now it's more like people watch Netflix and watch "games" and that's it. No fun at all, they slowly erasing the gameplay too. Make your guy walk for half an hour, interract with objects, talk with NPCs and watch cutscene. Sometimes shoot people. Nonsense puzzles and here you go it's Uncharted for ya lol. So what game I play for what changed naturally. I don't play games for "fun", I "play" games to experience whatever is interesting about them by not seeing them as a game. For example, is Persona 4 a game? Not to me. Do I care? Nope. Why I "play it"? TBH this is like one of those interactive cinema games Konami released back then like Snatcher. Visual novels with adventure point and click gameplay. So what games are know is "advanced interactive cinema", not a game for me. Experience their story like a book, do whatever task to progress, and all. But it doesn't give me "game fun", it just give me the same fun I experience by watching a movie or reading a book. Since PS2-era the game that has "game fun" is decreased and decreased further and died for good around end of PS3 generation. Rarely there were some games managed to have "game fun" like Metal Gear Rising and Persona 5 Striker, rest of them empty rubbish of a game but real "interactive cinemas" or 3D rendered version of FMV games lol.
