How do you feel about set pieces, /v/?

I unironically love them. I evenbuy COD just to play the campaign every year
Same with Battlefield.
A temporary fix for our lack of research on the area of realtime interactions and physics meant to make the game look cool without needing the whole "creating an physics engine/camera system that can actually create situations that look as good as the setpieces".
what game doesnt have set pieces?
just open world games?
Dumb, especially when a game relies on them for all its thrills, and especially when a game gets 10/10s for pulling that shit.
Only cool one was the very start of Uncharted 2.

Good
>setpieces with good gameplay that actually require some player action and thought
Bad
>Uncharted style setpieces where you hold down a single direction button while a bunch of crap explodes / collapses around you

Me too
I enjoy cool set pieces that at least let me interact to a sufficient degree. Like, that one mission in Modern Warfare 3 where you are in the plane and it encounters turbulence, thrusting you of the ground letting you shoot the floating enemies.
Annoying set pieces are ones with vary little input beyond moving in a direction
Depends on how interactive they are. I remember really liking Beyond Good and Evil's wacky explosive chase sequences, but some are fueled purely by running in a single direction multiple times.
They pay for themselves.
they have their place in games like uncharted
2 was fucking great, 1 and 3 were alright
no ps4 so can't play 4
they have to be used judiciously, though
if shit's just exploding around you all the time it doesn't mean anything

Vanquish
