Why "video games" have to be just one thing?? Why they need to be your classical definition of fun, to be videogames?? I think is a problem with the definition of video-"game" itself. They've become much more since the 80's and 90's. They've become "experiences" and "artistical interactions" too. And besides, "fun" is an objective thing. What if i tell you that games like most platformers or games like LOL or Overwatch, are "boring" to me just after a few hours, because i need more purpose in a game than just beat the next rival, jump to the next platform or complete the next level with arbitrary objectives??? I obtain more "satisfaction" from a game like Journey than i ever will from a game like Fortnite or Minecraft. Is it me that i am a weird person or what??, Do i don't really like videogames in reality???. People that not consider games like this or Detroit video games(or most games that spend more time tryng to tell a story or a concept than being mechanically "fun games"), are reminding me at people like Scorsese with the movies. They're so purist in their own classical definition about what a movie or a videogame should be that if it doesn't meet their own criteria they reject completely the idea. A videogame doesn't need to be fun, like a movie doesn't need to be fun, like a book doesn't need to be fun, like a song doesn't need to be fun, to be a meaningful and satisfying experience. Because maybe it won't be "fun" or "joyful" but it can be many other things that we humans can value as much too. |
This. This is with this philosophy I went to see Joker.
I wouldn't be surprised if Death Stranding become one of the ten best games I have ever played. Just like Detroit Become Human.
Brainless gamers can't understand this kind of games.
