This is my viewpoint as well.
From immediate memory I feel Mass Effect, and Ratchet and Clank, fit this category.
Both are still very fun despite the fact.
There was a company that actually put out two “games” which they came right out at front and called interactive movies. They were called Quantum Gate and The Vortex.
The first one was, in my opinion, really good. There was no game at all. It was basically a choose-your-own-adventure where you walked around and encountered people and there were short video clip interactions with them in a first person perspective. With the second one, they tried to do too much and it was nowhere near as good, but the concept was sound and I wish it was more common.
