You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
THIS IS NOT TO DEBATE WHETHER THESE TYPES OF ENTERTAINMENT ARE GAMES OR NOT. I'm using the term Entertainment to avoid that, but I will refrain from saying interactive movie or video game, even if I do see them as games and is in the Gaming section.


So, creations like Heavy Rain, The Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands, Telltales' Game of Thrones, Until Dawn, etc.
What is your opinion of them as ENTERTAINMENT?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
My opinion is that they're interactive movies.

more like interactive tv shows than anything else. i tend to have a negative view of them because i like playing games to challenge myself and learn/employ new, creative strategies to succeed. choose your own adventure stories dont really do that for me.

when done right, a choose your own adventure "game" can be very good. wolf among us would be my example.

I just said that I don't want people starting to name the genre in any place, because that just starts a whole debate.

Why am I trying to reason with you people again?

and honestly if you really wanted us to not use the word game maybe you should have posted this in a board other than gaming.

I like them the most in text form - with another person, if possible.
As a kid I loved those Choose your own adventure books

I still like them in digital form nowadays too, but they can't compare to the 'magic' I felt when I did them with another person when I was younger. Still, some are more entertaining than a lot of other things nowadays.

No, you went ahead and called them "interactive tv shows".
I could care less if you call them a game, but specifically pointing that out can cause a shitstorm.

then my original point still stands. no need to be so pedantic/butthurt about it.
