@Th3solution that's really interesting actually, i might actually have a look at my list from March '20 until now and see what games you control a gun in!
@RogerRoger Unless I actually want to do something specific, I often choose my entertainment based on how restless different parts of my body are. Having not done a lot in this last year and a half, I've found that my hands are so restless that I'll often play games over watching something. Occasionally even into the "shared" entertainment time with my partner in the evening where we would usually watch something together (we've still had a lot of time for that anyway).
If my hands and eyes are busy, like if I have to do something on the computer (like writing my CV a couple months ago) or driving my car, then I'll listen to music! Admittedly it's a lot rarer that that would be the case.
I don't disagree with either you or @Kidfried , I think the points you are making might be slightly different. The appeal of something like Uncharted is the swashbuckling action, comedy, scripted events, treasure hunting, a bit of combat etc. But when you are just gunning down generic pirates for 10-15 minutes, it slows down the pace of the game.
On the other hand, (I assume, because I haven't played it) that one of the appeals of Days Gone is surviving which Kidfried's point illustrates perfectly. Same with something like modern Doom, it's fun to bounce around and blast hellspawn to erm, hell 😅. I think the key difference is whether the trope is forced and out of place or whether it feels organic to the structure of the game. If it feels both forced and organic, then well, maybe that game just isn't to your tastes 😅.
Forgive me if that sounds like I'm putting words into either of your mouths, I don't mean to. I was just offering an opinion on what both of you have said. Bit tired right now so I can't really grasp how well I am getting my point across 😅.
Skyward Sword certainly had a go at sweeping certain body parts out with a sword. I wish all modern controllers were split in 2 down the middle to be honest. Lazy gaming is way better. One hand behind your head and the other down by your legs. The Switch is awesome for playing in weird but comfortable positions 😅
