No it's true. You confuse "appeal to adults' with ' "appeal to gamers". I'v already covered nostalgia which you clearly missed or misunderstood. Just because it appeals to an adults nostalgia doesn't mean it appeals to adults. There are many games that appeal to adults that also appeal to children/teens. Example being Zombie U or games on other platforms like Assassins creed, Dragon Age, elderscrolls, fallout, ect. ect. So that throws your "appeal only to adults" argument out. Mainly because you can't appeal only to adults. You can only try to appeal to adults which in turn will also appeal to many that are younger for the simple fact that it is mature and makes them feel mature. |
The only thing confusing me is your warped deffinition of "nostalgia" . Have you ever wondered why we rate games E for everyone instead of 10 - (ten and under)? Because although it is sutable for children it can be fun for all ages. You seem to imply that if it is suitable for children then it can only be a nostalgic experience for an adult. You're right, that view that the two concepts of suitable for children and appeal to adults being mutually exclusive does indeed confuse me. Perhaps they are to you which would be a bit sad, I would guess that means you can't enjoy a pixar movie. Is Splatoon a nostalgic experience, Wonderful 101?
At bolded what a contradictory statement ... "just because it appeals to an adult on one level doesn't mean it appeals to adults" ...
The last part of your statement sounds like double dipping on trying to feel mature, it's for me because it has an M for the rating
