| yanamaster said: I wonder if there will ever be a mature game that has a scenario like this " You are a father of a family of 5, have always tried your hardest to raise your kids to be good people and love your wife very much. She dies in a tragic car accident bringing chaos on to your family. Devastated after your loss you turn to alcohol, eventually lose your job and your children abandon you/have been taken away by the authorities. Game objective: Get your life back" I honestly wish there actually was something like this. |
Yes thank-you!!! There are a lot of mature gamers on Wii. And by mature, I'm talking lapsed gamers, PC gamers, people in their 30's and 40's (and even 50, 60's, and up), who don't have time or inclination to play single player, violent 'M' for Mature games (often because the Wii's in the living room and you can't play Madworld, NMH, HoTD:O or others in the living room when you have wives and kids).
'M' for Mature games are often not mature games at all. They cater to the teenaged male who isn't even old enough to buy them (yet miraculously own tons). Heck, yesterday I was at the video store and some guy was renting Halo 3 for his 4 year old. Serious (actually he was going to rent him Halo Wars but I pointed out that wasn't a shooter). I do not consider those mature games.
A game with mature content, like yanamaster suggests, would be most welcome. I don't care if it's a point and click adventure, action adventure, RPG or whatnot, as long as the story content is something deep, engaging, actually relatable too and emotionally satisfying. This would also appeal to women, who happen to make up half of the Wii's userbase. Something the gaming industry seems to forget with alarming regularity.
