Is this the only good "cinematic experience" game?

Is this the only good "cinematic experience" game?

No, but it practically codified the genre in its modern form. It became so endemic that Tomb Raider recursively took cues from it.

>took cues from it

Thats a really nice way of saying "Literally Uncharted with a girl".

The best is TLOUS.
Uncharted suffers the same problems as the Metro series in that there are some forced sections of the game where you just get riddled with bullets yet you come out fine. Those sections really break my immersion.

Nice way of saying Killed Tomb Raider

>what is half life
>inb4 no

Max Payne series did it better and had better gameplay than any Uncharted game.

"cinematic experience" isn't called a game, its called a movie

I didn't play Uncharted, hated the Tomb Raider reboot
Should I conclude I must stay away from this series?

Yeah except for the one thing that matter, the charisma. Seriously Uncharted just oozes charisma whereas Nu-TR is just completely flat and uninterested.

Shame, really.

If Uncharted was just a straight film it would considered an incredibly shitty film. Horribly derivative, poorly written and the only cinematic technique it knows is the pull back and it does it over and over and over again. It's not even on par with mediocre adventure films like Sahara, let alone actual good ones. Something so shitty has no business being considered a "good cinematic experience".

Did you hate the gameplay of Tomb Raider since it wasn't like the old ones?

Or did you hate the new Tomb Raider since they completely changed Lara's character?

If you enjoy the gameplay and are interested in a story, the Uncharted series won't be that bad

The Yakuza series has been doing "cinematic" experiences better since the PS2 era.

Good thing it wasn't a straight film otherwise your opinion would have been 100% accurate and you'd fit in perfectly here

i remember mgs3 being awesome for a game story and "cinematic experience" but i dont know how well it holds up today

Well bad third person shooting and piss easy and dull platforming doesn't make for a good game either.

The Uncharted games are big budgeted mediocrity, nothing more. That franchise is so lucky there was fuck all to play on the PS3 when it launched otherwise it would have died long ago along with all the other failed mediocre "cinematic experiences".

Never played any Tomb Raider, so I don't know

To be fair, HL has the virtue of completely running on scripts and not transitioning into cutscenes, so even if you don't give a shit about the plot you can just oggle at stuff or mess around with other shit.
Crap like toying around in the lab in HL2 made plot sections somewhat bearable

These. Japan has been creating "cinematic" gaming experiences for a decade now and not only are they better but they weren't attempting to appeal to any nu male sjw turbo liberal cuckbag hipster journalists who don't even play video games when they made them.

I actually find the gameplay fun but I don't even know the plot, I either skip or ignore it during cutscenes. Haven't played the most recent one, though.

>cinematic experience
>good
Pick one.
They are abominable and it's sad they somehow established some kind of norm.
They are a play-once-and-never-again kind of deal at worst and a weekend rental at best.

There usually never is any kind of incentive to play through the same shitfest again, difficulty only barely changes anything except damage values.
Novelty settings like fat drake and zero gravity wore off quickly within one chapter and didn't warrant an entire replay of the game.

even the ''10/10'' TLOU is no exception to this.

I'd say try out the uncharted series then, It's much better than the tomb raider reboot anyways, if you buy a physical copy you always have the option to return it anyways
