People have been trying and failing for literal decades now to try to blend movies with videogames and my question is, why?

Videogames shouldn't try to emulate movies, they aren't movies and they shouldn't try to be, every attempt at trying to blend the two has ended in absolute disaster and always will.

You can certainly use videogames to tell amazing and interesting stories but that doesn't mean you have to completely try and deep throat Hollywood at every move.

Riddick worked out well, as did Willow.
Plus, you know, Lego games.

biggest problem with movie games is how insignificant their depth of gameplay is.

it seems logical that the closer a game gets to a movie, the more it moves away from actually being a game but still "gamers" eat it up in droves to the point where they think there's actually something called a "cinematic" frame rate.

This is 100% on the mark. The two are nowhere near similar as storytelling mediums

As long as the interactivity is there games can be about anything. That's what makes them great. If a game is about chasing a high score that's cool.

If a game is about choosing dialogue choices and choosing your path through a story that's also cool. What a game can be is pretty limitless. All it needs is interactivity and some sort of player agency.

That wasn't even related. We were talking about video games, not movies.
