      Bandersnatch take: high interest because of novelty factor will lead to the production of at least one more of the format. It will do considerably worse, or at least prove that branching narratives cost more than they're worth, and it'll all be a short fad.

      ...and I'll smugly mutter 'told you so' to myself. Because no one wants to hear from a wiseass who's right. And the world will go on ignoring the obvious evidence that narrative and gameplay exist at the expense of each other.

      I'll let you know if watching bandersmatch manages to change my mind.:) I do like to draw strong conclusions from almost no information.

      Watched it. Interesting as am oddity but I don't need more of it. I guess it's no surprise that I'll confirm my own bias... Still, parts felt buggy and/or cheaty. The 'gameplay'/choice bits was predictably annoying and immersion-breaking. narrative/choice=oil/water.

      I thought so too until I tried a pen and paper RPG, especially outside the D&D bubble. It's more akin to collaborative storytelling, where playing the game is making choices.

      Right. Pen & paper rpgs does put a large dent in my claim. I'll have to have a think about why this is so. For me it's still true for computer games, or CYOA. There's something about the switch between passive consumption and then pausing to make a choice that doesn't work.

      When I play pen&paper I perceive it as one constant activity for some reason. At least until there's rule based combat, at which point it can be immersion breaking that the 'storying' is put on hold.

      I think it's all up to ludonarrative dissonance, and if your actions match what you expect from the story/game. It's only jarring when they don't.

      But when I play telltale games, they behave exactly like I expect. They'd still be better without me making 'choices', i.e. as a pure movie. I have to wonder when you don't get dissonance. That's what you get from mixing ludo with narrative.

      In those I feel a hard split between actions and "cutscenes", to the point where I would put the controller down.

          I guess longer intervals give fewer moments of dissonance, sort of lessening it statistically. It's still there though, at the moment of switch. And in those examples, the two definitely exist at the expense of the other, right?

          In videogames I would tend to agree, and it's only made worse by sporadic, surprise quicktime events out of nowhere. I remember literally diving back to the couch in RE4. No fun.
