Yeah, it perfectly shows how dull modern FPS games are.

You may still download Duty Call and play it by yourself if i'm right.

Giant pile of bullshit! Some of the best games I've ever played have little or no action at all....

The fact is: videogames and movies are two completely different arts. They can't be compared. I don't give a fuck about almost the entire "action" shit produced by Hollywood during the last 3 or 4 decades....

I would hesitate to assume that the quoted individual was stating all games ever tried to be action movies. Rather that he's stating that the trend for some games to want to be that way has existed for some time. Which is certainly undeniable. From the "Interactive Fiction" attempts of adventure games to the titles that had almost as much live-action FMV as actual gameplay sequences.

Otherwise the question has a false assumption.

Wait... so... if you dislike games that are nothing but glorified cut scenes with crappy action why do you rush out and buy crap like Derp Space?

I think exaggerated acting was just one of many deliberate abstractions. They're all named after major prisons, each character has a little backstory that exists simply to reinforce the "type" of person they are, the cube has a solution but no explanation, etc. It's the kind of movie that plays games with the audience, and that kind of thing is hard to pull off. I wouldn't blame its awkwardness on the actors.
