According to him games like God of War and Peggle are a waste of space...and while neither is my personal favorite they absolutely have a place in gaming. Basically he has a vision of making all games part of a communication experience and anything that doesn't fit into his vision should be considered worthless...to me it just sounds like he wants to be the gaming Nazi or something... No thanks~ |
That's the vibe I got, too.
If a game is trying to get an emotional response and doesn't, that's obviously a failure. And emotional responses are important in story-driven games.
However, if a game isn't story-driven and isn't trying to evoke an emotional response, who cares? Was chess a bad game because you weren't emotionally engaged with any of the pawns? He's setting up a false requirement for making a good game.
