Cinematic games (Destiny)

The story missions aren't as cinematic as I expected them to be.

What a load of crap. I wish we, as fans of a medium, could get over this collective cinema-envy.

The big thing that makes video games special is the interactivity. Cinema works by the control being totally in the hands of the creator. It's good for something things, but not for others.

A movie can never give you the feeling of double jumping through the air, landing a perfect grenade toss into Riksis' face for the killing blow and then sliding through his disintegrating corpse to knife the last of his minions in the chest. Because you have to put that effort and skill in to get it out.
