You forgot the fucking joke. Unless the title is it, in which case it fails because there are plenty of possible good suggestions.

Off the top of my head:

Custer's Revenge

How the hell would the gameplay of Custer's Revenge be a good movie? Confused

You didn't say "gameplay". You don't make movies based on games from their "gameplay". Movies don't have "gameplay". That doesn't make any fucking sense.

It's a porn game, and I was facetiously suggesting that it'd make a good porn movie. Just be thankful I gave purpose to your useless topic.

Could games have good dialog (to read), so... we base games on that Confused

I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.

Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

Video game movies are usually (loosely) based on the game's plot, not the gameplay. Both video game movies I can think of that have attempted to incorporate actual gameplay, Doom and House of the Dead, are EPIC FAIL.

That's still just footage directly referencing the gameplay (or more accurately the PoV). It's not in itself "the gameplay."

When yall mention "gameplay" here are yall actually wanting something like Bison did in the Street Fighter movie where he took the controller out?

There is no single definition for gameplay, Richo. Gameplay is a combination of many aspects in a game's creation, not just the fucking buttons you push on the controller.

I don't know what your deal is, but in every topic I look at you're arguing or being a dick just for the sake of arguing or being a dick!

And none of those aspects are in the movies, nor could they be. That's why there's a term for it in games. In said movies, there's no learning curve, no ammo conservation, no levels, no continues. There's a reason people say "gameplay footage" for a video and not just "gameplay", because a non-interactive video of something, no matter how based on the gameplay it is, by definition ceases to be gameplay!

I understand your point(s), but christ, is it really worth all the hassle debating the meaning of one solitary word? (This is where you quote me and respond with "yes.") How about you just follow the topic instead of derailing it to the point of no return!

Yes. Short answer.

Long answer: why does anybody do anything?

Longer answer: There wasn't a topic to begin with, or at least the OP discounted his own idea as a joke! I made a generously serious response and the guy is like "conversely wth r u talking about". Don't make the topic if you don't want responses.

Answer after considerable thought: I think my desire to derail stems from having flunked out of train engineer school.

Answer in a different language: どうせこれ読める人いないだろう。あっ、でも確かにあのコはいた。

Final truest answer: 42

Now I know why you are a shut in. It's not that you don't want to "deal: with people, it's because no one can deal with you.

I'm surprised no one's ever thought of something from the Ghosts 'n' Goblins series.

Being slightly rude when pointing things (espescially true things once I read up on conversely Laughing ) out online is not being mean. Rolling Eyes
