And, honestly, saying that the only good games are "highly kinetic" is just ridiculous. I didn't say that. I called full-motion video of that era "laughable", and I said that video games can create kinetic experiences that are unique to the medium. There are lots of fine examples of classic games that aren't "highly kinetic" - strategy games like XCom and Civilization, RPGs, etc.
