That's not safe. Just with Hollywood stars, CEOs think the main drag is the cast of characters, and the content of the original. And since they don't play these games, they hardly get what makes people like them.
An anecdotal case: the Doom movie, a guilty pleasure of mine, where the only highlight is a scene of brutally shooting imps from the first person perspective for 2 minutes. In a 90 minutes movie, boggled down by pure boredom, somewhere in the end. That's when many people woke up in the cinema and started to cheer, because it was more DooM than anything else in this movie.
For me, it's not even a story (in Borderlands, lol), but catching the feeling people got from these games. In the first game, as per my OP, it was treasure hunting and greed in the middle of nowhere, accompanied by trash humor and stupid gore. Shooting shit from a wind generator while taking headshots with a non-credible sniper-scoped rocket revolver? Sign me in.
I also am a movie Doom fan. ๐ค๐ค
Semper Fi, motherfucker โ
I'm another DOOM movie enjoyer, did you see DOOM: Annihilation? I thought it was 'fine'
