Games vs. Movies

[Sorax]

What do you think appeals to not just adults, but the children and teenagers as well

is the movies, or video games?

i think movies, cause i mean, come, obvious, but i want your response

[eastercat]

A lot of adults don't like video games, but everyone loves movies.


(personally love video games more. xD)

[shadowdweller]

whoa, im the first to vote. cooooool:cool: anyway i like video games more cause in movies, the same thing happens no matter how many times ya watch em. in video games you can play the game over and over and the same wount happen every time.

[Crispers]

i cant live without both of them...

[Marluxia55]

wow that was so hard to answer i love them both personally i dont know wat will happen if i dont have them ill probably be bored as hell lol :confused: :D

[no-reality_allowed]

It all depends on the person.....a person who gets really into games (certain games) will appeal more to that.....but a person who gets more to into films will appeal more to that.

I for one prefer films, because certain films just amaze me no matter how many times I watch them and many times I get so into a movie I forget I'm watching a movie.....which makes me sad ;.;

[EvilMan_89]

i think Movies becuz they have been around alot longer and everyone has watched a movie. my teachers have told me that they think video games are really stupid and should be burned. i guess ppl born b4 the time of video games aren't into it

[Darkwatch]

Personally, games EASILY takes the bag.

Games are interactive, not always boring, and don't last only a few hours.

Movies, sometimes, can be better left without.

[Nanaki]

More people like movies...but I love video games more! ^^

[Percy Jackson]

Both :3
But I love videogames more

[Darkandroid]

With games becoming more like films with detailed graphics and good voice acting and animation, I personally feel games are better. They are pretty much films that are interactive and much longer.

[EvilMan_89]

well.....i think we can say Spiderman 2 the movie is MUCh better than Spiderman 2 the game

[Sorax]

well.....i think we can say Spiderman 2 the movie is MUCh better than Spiderman 2 the game

well. we can, others can't, it's a whole debate, for me particularly, games have more potential on appealing more people, well not as much as movies but i mean, the forum contain 10,000 members right now, this is temporary, it will go larger and larger, becasue of the reason that ppl, enjoy video games, a lot!

and i prefer video games cause it really tests the mind, and you're the one who chooses the moves, the style....

like sims for example!

[Gravity]

I prefer video games, simply because of the fact that they need your input to work. It kinda adds a little something to it.

Movies are relaxing, though...

[EvilMan_89]

well....movies appeal to everyone including most girls whereas most video games dont' appeal to girls

[Sorax]

well....movies appeal to everyone including most girls whereas most video games dont' appeal to girls

well you got that right, but ever noticed that even girls today, let's say about 50% of girls love games, but im' not very sure about that

[EvilMan_89]

i think that statistic is a LITTLE high

[JapAnimeFanatic]

well....movies appeal to everyone including most girls whereas most video games dont' appeal to girls

thats not true, all my friends are girls and so am i, and we all prefer video games over movies

[Sorax]

i think that statistic is a LITTLE high

yeah maybe too high, how bout 30%

[Oerba Yun Fang]

Movies are the more popular choice but i think the younger generation is moving towards gaming.
All you do while watching a movie is sit on your butt & watch. While playing games you sit on your butt & interact with it. That's what i really see as the main difference between games & movies. Most games usually have a story & is kinda like a movie in that sense.

I prefer playing computer games but i also enjoy watching movies. It depends on my mood.

[PuffinBoy415]

I'd have to say that movies are more for people who only want to sit for an hour or two and be entertained while they do nothing at all. Those who like video games want to be involved and be enveloped into a storyline while making desicions.

[White_Rook]

I enjoy both with equal vigor. I like video games because of the interaction, the ability to whoop arse, and the indepth story and development that went into it all. But there are also times where I've played games to the point where I want to vomit at the sound of another game title. This of course is something that fuels my enjoyment of movies. I enjoy cinematography and the drama that is portrayed by real live people and how they adopt the psychy and personality of the characters they play. And then there's also the action and captivating footage. I'm also very picky with the movies and video games I caste my eyes on.

[AkuseruVIII]

I say like I do with many higs it is an individual thing. Some movies suck (Phonebooth, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Van Hellsing etc.) and some games suck (Shadow the Hedgehog, Dynasty Warriors, Star Wars Revenge f the Sith etc.) But as a medium of entertainment they each have strong points and weak points it's more a matter of how well each individual one is made. That's my opinion except for the stuff in parentheses which is immutable fact.

[kairi_namine__sora_roxas]

I think video games...
See, I play to watch cutscenes...
But then, when just watching the cutscenes without playing, it kinda takes the entertainment out of it.
So actually interacting with what you're viewing helps you to not get bored while watching something...


But the one thing I love most about movies and video games combined...
Sad scenes. I'm a sucker for those. :P
























But I still think anime beats both of those. :P

[orgXIIIfan]

I love video games because you get to have fun and all.I had fun playing as Lucy from the Chronicles of Narnia.You get to play as your fave character,fight and fight and fight(for some movies)

Games have cutscenes which make you feel like you are playing as the character in a movie so....Video games.

[Alpha Sonix]

It depends if the movie or the game came out first, normally Games that are Movie suck and Movies that are Games don't have much detail because they can only do certain hours so, it's a tie I guess but Video Games because they are longer than movies.

[Xigbar]

Videogames because you can't play movies.

[Ienzo]

Well for me personally- I like watching films when I'm in a lazy mood but when I want something I can really get into I enjoy a good video game.
