what games have the biggest spectacle?
big scripted events that look awesome?

don't really know of many modern games that does this, only armored core
half life and fallout 3 had some spectacle, but that was long ago

Asura's Wrath

FF16

>>715940129 (OP)
The entirety of God of War 2-3
The Mass Effect series
Many Japanese games

Bayonetta. The boss fights in that game are wild. Video below is maybe from the first 1/4th of the game and there are even bigger spectacles further in.

Elden Ring
High spectacle usually means that gameplay has to be reduced to quick time events or something overly simplistic like pushing the forward button while you sit and watch like a cuck. Not in Elden Ring. You have lots of cool shit happening in the background but you are also given full control of your character and you are expected to beat a tough as nails boss.

This has my vote. Anything that devolves into cutscenes and QTE loses my interest. Elden Ring, Fromsoft in general manages to deliver incredible visuals without stealing the controller.

Bulletstorm actually has some kickass collapsing set piece scenes

>elden ring
lmao

Helldivers 2 is pretty good for unscripted spectacle.

Yeah it's popular, can't be caught dead praising anything it does right?

>>715940129 (OP)
id say usually CoD titles have some cool setpieces
for example dangling from heli in nuMW2 is pretty cool

>>715942112
Not him, but my problem with Elden Ring is if you bother using the lock-on it can ruin those "cool" or "epic" moments, or worse, the sound "design" doesn't work right and the way they intended for you to witness the "cool thing" is missed because of other shit that's either in the way or distracting you.

>>715940129 (OP)
CoD absolutely fills this requirement

>>715941610
Blessing and a curse given how dogshit DaS3 and ER balance this is how the player character is

>>715941845
no game does unscripted heroic montage material quite as well

Mass Effect and Halo were pretty good at this pre-2014

>>715940129 (OP)
Halo 3 ODST has the New Mombasa space elevator collapse in a level, Halo 2 has Chief flying into a damaged Covenant carrier and blowing it up it up with their own bomb (along with the flood invading high charity and orbital mac cannons getting blown to bits).
Halo 1 has Halo get blown up by a ship reactor core going critical, and 3 has multiple spectacle setpieces.
In hindsight the Halo games really had that going for it.

Gears of War 1-3 did 2 ("They're collapsing this city with a giant fucking worm!")

Basically Ace Combat in a nutshell

With the added bonus of big unscripted spectacle if you're good enough
Hell even their developer diaries have their moments

>>715940521
fpbp

>>715940521
fpbp, zoomies these days have no idea

Yfw Helldivers nuclear missile launch

>>715941845
I need to get back into this game, the most organically cool game

>>715940129 (OP)
Play edf6 as fencer or any ace combat/project wingman if you want this feel

>>715940129 (OP)
This was such a shit mission, even the "spectacle" was mid. God I hate rusty so fucking much

>>715946848
>2012
nigger it IS a zoomer game

>>715946892
Saluting as the horizon becomes a seconds sun is mandatory or I execute you on the spot.

715947087
No, you don't fit in because you're being contrarian for the sake of getting (You)s

nigger the fight sucks. youre just standing there with the worm having no way to do anything to you while that jobber rusty gets sucked off. I will never understand why people like him

Project Wingman and most Ace Combats.

Trust me brah

>not a single mention
Do you guys even play games?

buildup and siege of Drezen was pretty nice

>>715941836
I hate Elden Ring but pic related is one of the coolest things I've seen in a video game

>>715941610
Too bad the combat and movement is so shallow. The player character never lives up to the spectacle of the boss fights in ER. Feels like 2 different games being played at the same time.

The whole game is moving from one big cinematic set piece to another
