Same here. What drove me away from MMOs and live service games was the dailies and weeklies that require me to go kill or collect shit. It’s not fun just a choir.
I guess that's a part of it. Gimmicks. Most of the battles feel like small arenas with certain amount of spawns, too. It feels strangely limited to play. I just wanted to fucking run and gun. The beauty of original Doom, to me, is the lack of mechanics. It's just you, the levels and the enemies.
No, the fact that people compare commercial entertainment software designed by the likes of David Jaffe with cinema or books says a lot about their taste.
Agreed. Its escapism. Its a drug. A very cheap drug and one that is socially acceptable to give to children, as they were already mindlessly watching tv goyslop several hours per day before the video games.
Maybe that particular video game you've spent thousands of hours on? If you spent an ample amount with anything, you tend to be knowledgable of it.
We get it, you don't care for video games. All well and good, but you don't have to be pretentious about it like a certain somebody.
Would you consider a fashion magazine on the same level as a non-fiction novel?
nigga do you even educational minecraft?
escapism is just another pointless distraction on our way to the grave, you don't have to be pretentious about it you niggerfaggot, even our fucking universe will die someday.
Let me add to that. You know what would enhance your experience from reading Tolkien's Lord of the Rings lore? Watching all the action and drama unfold from a movie. You know what could be even better? Actively being a participant in that lore. If only there were inventions that were capable of allowing interactivity from a medium that could replicate that experience for fans and potential newcomers?
Not during the experience but I usually mull it over after all is said and done. But that’s how I engage with any kind of art I enjoy.
When I was little I watched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and learned to talk with my butt so i did it in my classroom and everyone laughed but i got sent to detention
Low quality bait
So ONE series, a series that caters to the lowest common denominator at that, shaped your self-absorbed viewpoint on video games? Good to know.
What do you think art is? Imagining that the portrait you're looking at is real, and getting a hit of nostalgia or amazement at it. Fits video games like a glove. You also get nothing material out of looking at them.
Ah, just a degenerate. Sorry, pal, I should've not bothered.
That's like saying an interior of a church or mosque can be compared to a scene in Maya. Painting can tell a story about a person's life or history of a country. where do videogames fit here? you can't play those things.
Many church interiors have scenes in the Bible committed to paint or statue form. Also, video games can tell stories about people and countries way better than paintings can.
That's if the book-reader in question is absorbed by what he reads, like a Star Wars fan reading a Star Wars book.
you do realize that a maya scene can be viewed even with a shitty phone as long as it has a gyro? right?
You misread my whole post, hand drawn art isn't the same as a bunch of pixels.
Hardly. When they try, they become clunky and boring. And if you really want to insist that video games are comparable to paintings or whatever you need to put the best of both against each other. The results are depressing.
What in the fuck does this even mean
