You are correct. I do expect more from the games I play. Especially in regard to effects and ingame character physical interaction, as well as more voiceover relevant to the ingame universe at that moment in the game.
At the same TIME. I dont mind watching the basic gameplay. Because I am not the one who is playing.
I have lost track of how many of the advanced effects and liveaction videos of game characters I have watched over the years.
Many of them becoming a favorite of mine in their respective gaming category, and specific game genre.
