Came to post this. Joel injured with everybody gunning for you is incredibly tense and one of the standout moments in the game.
I was prepared for Kojima shenanigans, I like them. But the intro of this game is, really, a big fucking non sense. I ended not finishing the game (as a big MGS fan) and kindda hate it (baring its amazing TPS gameplay). So, in a way, that was a good intro.
I mean most of the games it's used in are cinematic, narrative heavy, linear ones. Games that already have you sitting through a lot of cutscenes, maybe some QTEs, and take control away from you a lot for other events anyways, so honestly it doesn't really bother me. I know what I'm signing up for when I put in a Naughty Dog or MGS game.
Actually the first few hours was the highlight for me , after that it was all downhill , lol
I didn't start brand new characters for Destiny 2 on PC because I refused to do the crippled and dying slow walk for a 4th time at the start of a game. That's how much I hate it.
When you realize they implemented jogging while hand-earing in Gears 3:
I never got to GeOW 3 so that's good to hear that they fixed it!When you realize they implemented jogging while hand-earing in Gears 3:
This particular example was so intense! I quite enjoyed it.

Yes, regular cinematic walk. At least with injured, there's something being conveyed through limitations. It's often pointless and not really earned, but there's an attempt there.
Regular forced cinematic walk is just "we gotta load shit, so here, look at some pretty scenery I guess"

Yep just as annoying as slow walk and talk shit.
Gears of War started it and Naughty Dog took the ball and ran with it.
At least Gears learned and now allows you to "jog" during these sequences.
It absolutely killed the pacing in Uncharted 4 (among other things)

Underwater sections of games that never otherwise deal with underwater traversal are worse.
Escort Missions are often worse.
Underwater Escort Missions with a cinematic injured walking escort is the trifecta of bad.

These scenes are almost always goofy and immersion breaking because after about 30 seconds it's over and your character can miraculously run/jump/fight as if nothing ever happened.
Unskippable Cutscenes
Instafail Stealth sections
~Immersive~ Injured Walking
Conveniently placed explosive containers
...And games that give you the illusion of choice while in reality you only have one option are the worst tropes in modern gaming.

RDR2 was painful in this regard, the amount of forced walking around camps and dialogues was a frustrating experience, especially when the game is already suffering from bad pacing and you feel like you're snoozing your way to see if the game picks up the pace or not!
Because he was indeed injured. What I think OP's referring to is when the player characters walks like they're injured but aren't, e.g. RDR2 does this all the time.
I wish RDR2 had just normal controls and would let me choose the speed with the displacement of the analog stick... the reason why we have those cool things! It would have been a much better game.
Which is worse, boss fights you have to lose to them or boss fights that where you beat them but lose in the next cutscene?
I'm leaning towards the latter.
I just went through Nathan Drake's hallucination walk in Uncharted 3, that is definitely the worst.
Not only that, but even from Gears 1 you could press a button and Marcus would say "yeah yeah I get the idea" and cut the conversation short so you could get back to the actual gameplay. In 2006.
They also dropped the number of them in the game overall, so it just happens less. It's amazing what being able to jog does for perception though.
I mean, that's the kicker....do you make the character walk half as fast or do you make the hallway twice as long?
All the praise and love Uncharted 2 got, ( and a lot of it is deserved), but the opening of that game with the cinematic injured walk, transitioning into him leaping like 10 goddamn feet forward from a part of a train made me laugh pretty hard.
