| Andrew said: I tend tothink of a mature game based on what you are fighting. In Mario (for example) you are fighting comical carachters who don't really do anythingapart from moving up and down, you never feel they want to kill you and pee on your body. Well at least we would hope so. A teen game the bad guys look like humans and they will shoot you and try to trick you. A mature based game, aka gears of war. You know the grunts will do anything they can to kill you. I also think the maturity level is how you kill them, mario is stomping, GRAW is shooting them. Gears of war is tearing them apart. I personally think that Teen games are the funnest because they can devlop deep charachters. Well I think i'm done that post |
So you are saying that "mature" games can be defined by enemies that want to kill and pee on you and the fact that you can shoot or "tear apart" enemies? I'm sure you'll understand if I disagree.
Games that appeal to adults, and I speak from experience here, are ones that are both quickly fun and complex. Hence the wide appeal of things like Tetris, Brain Age, The Sims (though I don't see what's so fun about the last one there personally). Sure, this doesn't mean that FPS aren't possibly fun, but you are providing a very narrow definition. Do you think adults can't have fun with Katamari Damacy, for example?
