there's a reason the announcer does that very pronounced pause between "Duck" and "Hunt"

that's pretty much it. if you don't like the first, you probably won't like the second. if you DO like the first, you might prefer the second one. personally i bounced off of both of them around 10-15 hours in, for similar reasons, but I did find the 2nd game a little more exciting.

Everyone thinks u a freak but really u like it old-school

 

Tanooki Mario (comfy man in pajamas), and uhhhh...well i don't really have a Smash main, I like to play all kinds of different styles. Which I guess also fits the question....

For me, the turnoff with movies specifically is the hard time commitment. It's rare that I have 2-3 hours free uninterrupted, and even if I do, I'm more drawn to the activity that I could put down after an hour if I really wanted to. Also, I'm usually picking up a game or TV show that I've already started, so I'm jumping into a story that I'm already invested in, rather than starting a whole new one.

Writing in a lot of TV/movies are just too, well, stupid

Personally i find the quality bar for writing in games (especially AAA games) is much lower. A well-known game with writing that matches a mid-tier movie usually gets heralded as GOTY. I agree with your point about emergent stories, though.

The social aspect of going to watch a movie in a dark room on a screen while everyone around me loudly "whispers" to each other and checks their phones. Not to mention the screen that is lower quality than my television at home.

It's a double-edged sword. But f2p has become so dominant that certain types of games almost NEED to be f2p to be relevant. See Concord for a recent example.

 

[alt text: a series of posts on tumblr. The first post is a text post by a user called "stephaniexwins", which says, "I made stew. It was awesome. I love potatoes." The next post is a reply post by a user called "potato", which says "i luv u too". The final post is another reply post by potato, which says, "wait what was in the stew".]

 

[alt text: several screenshots of posts on twitter. The bottom post is a tweet from @DrDisrespect on twitter, which says, "LIVE in 30 minutes. I just installed Deadlock... what the hell is this game? If it's from Valve, I must know. I must... understand the future of multiplayer gaming." This Dr Disrespect tweet is a screenshot being shared by @IntelDeadlock on twitter. Their post includes text that says, "Dr Disrespect is playing Deadlock today! Please avoid queue if you are a minor". The top post is another, later tweet from @IntelDeadlock on twitter, which says, "His entire team left his very first game". The post includes a screenshot of Dr Disrespect's livestream.]

[alt text : two frames from Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, depicting a negotiation between the characters Kweye-Gon Jinn and Watt-o. In the top frame, Kweye-Gon is labeled "Management" and he is saying, "Pizza Party will do fine." In the bottom frame, Watt-o is labeled "Over Worked Staff" and he is replying, "Jedi Mind Tricks don't work on me, only money."]

 

Evidently the original source is this Mythical Kitchen video. Those Last Meal interviews go surprisingly hard.

[alt text: two side-by-side illustrations of a text conversation on a smartphone. The left illustration is labeled "MONOGAMY", and the phone shows a text conversation with a single text that says, "Morning Beautiful". The right illustration is labeled "QING DYNASTY", and the phone shows a text conversation with six texts in a row. From top to bottom, the texts read: "i think wife 9 is poisoning you"; "think wife 2 is poisoning you"; "i think the eunuchs are poisoning you"; "i think wife 14 is poisoning you"; "i think the kids are poisoning you"; "think the chief censor is poisoning you". On the bottom corner of the image, there is a small instagram tag for @els_comics.]
