I counted not less than three video games in force awakens.
There's the xwing game, the first person shooter and, my favorite, the fallout style rpg with light sabers.
And those were just the ones that took me out if the movie: the ones I realized during the film.
I don't know if this is good or ill. I don't play a lot of video games, so it's weird to me that I saw these so obviously.
Was I the only one? What did I miss?

That's weird, I felt like this movie was rather non-video gamey, as compared to the prequels, for example, where it looked exactly like real-play footage.
ReplyDeleteI would totally play Rey in "Jedi's Creed." :)
ReplyDeleteVivian Spartacus I was emotionally disconnected from the xwing attack, so it just seemed like a video game. The early tie escape, too.
ReplyDeleteBrandes Stoddard I know, right!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, it didn't bother me at all :) On the other hand, I think there was very little chance of my going into this movie emotionally disconnected, even though I tried to avoid a lot of the hype!
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't say it bothered me. I didn't vote the well done tiein to other media as a bad thing
ReplyDeleteI agree about emotional disconnect from the X-Wing fight, but for me the movie was suffering from its own success. I cared 150% about what was going on with Finn, Rey, et al., and couldn't spare much interest in the ineffectual space side. Poor Poe Dameron, it's not his fault.
ReplyDeleteI saw two literal games in the story:
ReplyDeleteThe "chess" game Chewie plays and a holographic dexterity game in the cantina.
I looked it up and Chewie's game is called Dejarik.

That's just begging to get made.
