So all they did was present a point, then the other guy stated how his game also exhibits the same quality. Then the first guy stated a new point, and the process repeated.
Isn't the idea of a debate that both parties present unique points? Are all their episodes like this?

Honestly, I could think of a dozen different games that use cutscenes excellently. But then I haven't played the two games that were discussed, so I guess they might utilise cutscenes in more appropriate ways. But I have my doubts.

Also, there's a big ongoing debate in the video games industry as to the balance of narratology and ludology; narratology being story, and ludology being gameplay.
Exactly how effective any particular ratio is is entirely subjective, really.

Aww, no one remembers Devil May Cry 3's awesome cutscenes? That game has my vote. 4 had some great one's when Dante beat the bosses too.

Xbox Ninja Gaiden cutscenes were actually the last time I was ever really impressed with a game's graphics. Obviously, graphics have improved since then, but it's never really been the same kind of leap. And seeing those crazy rainbow demons moving around in all the different locales in that game was really unique.

WORST cutscenes:

Play 15 minutes? Sit there watching a horrendously long cutscene.
That doesn't exactly add to the story.
Or develop characters in a realistic way.

Clearly Dan's never seen The Runaways judging by all the shots at Kristen Stewart's acting in this.

I really liked Max Payne. Hell, I'm replaying it and it's sequel currently. I think that there is phenomenal characters, story, and action going on in these expertly crafted graphic novel bits. The graphics where a bit old, so I'm glad that I can replay it and still feel stuck in the game without going, "Shit, this game is old. Check out this poorly rendered cut scene."
