I had fun with my daughter doing the Minecraft one, and the Kimmy Schmidt one had its moments, though I gather that's staying. Still, it was very much a solution in search of a problem, and almost certainly more expensive than a comparable linear narrative.
That Black Mirror episode was interesting. Although I couldn't do it on my main device. I had to boot it up on my Playstation.
Also, it was a bit awkward to go through all of the different endings with someone less patient than I am.
Hehe yeah, we played it once as a family and of course died right away. Almost everyone was done there and accepted that as the end of it... so me and my sister just went and played the rest ourselves.
I get their mentality, choose your own adventure, see where your choices lead and that's the ending you get... makes sense with alot of content like this. But in the case of that specific adventure and the ending they got, it was pretty clear you are supposed to try again, not accept that ending. Ah wells. Consequently they thought it was stupid. And me and my sister loved it.
But this sort of stuff is doomed to fail no matter how good it can be, cuz there is way more of them than there is of us. So it doesn't make enough to justify it's cost. And that is of course the other problem, "money" is the most important thing to too many people right now... good art can't exist when its financial cost needs to be justified.
My ex gf tried it once with a group, after I had tried a few times, and got all the way through with the "good" ending. No incentive to rewatch after that lol
Oh no!
Anyway…
