And I guess you've played them all...

Another over-generalised comment by a young person. You get used to it happening when you work in a school.

Why should we even listen to the opinions of a person whose experience with gaming starts at FF7? I could claim that this game was a soulless shell-in from square, bending way to much on 3D which made it inferior to FF6.

I'm also quite shocked that you can't find the "soul" in wii sports. Or that you miss the context. I get Miyamoto when he says that wii sport is what he envisioned years ago when he could not get his wife to play games. He made Wii sports for his wife... and all those other people who do not get "our hobby". To me, that is not just soul...that is pure love.

For heavens sake...

MY EXPERIENCE STARTED WITH AMIGA,THEN NINTENDO,THEN SUPER NINTENDO, THEN PLAYSTATION!

READ MY ANSWERS!

I'm to important to read through a 100 post thread. Plus, you failed to point your attention to the more important subject matter in my previous post.

I'd also advice you to lose the capslock.

Now, as others pointed out, soul is not determined by hours spent watching cutscenes or the contents of a story. "Soul" is many things to different people. To me, it is immersion. Losing yoursel in a game. And I can attest, I lost myself in wii sports.

You're only 17. How exactly did you go in order through the timeline of consoles when the first two on your list predate your birth and you wouldn't have been able to get into videogames until approximately the launch of the Playstation? It just doesn't seem very likely that you somehow went in chronological order when by the time you were ready to be playing games the 32/64-bit era was upon us.

Do you mean that you are having great time with it/having fun?Well ok if thats what you think as a soul.

.

It seems you're getting closer to falling off the rocker with this "having a soul" shit. At this point it's rather confusing as to what you even mean because you went from "having soul" to "having a soul" which is completely different. Games do not have souls. They are software. They can't one day die and hope their souls make it up to gaming heaven. Now what you'll reply to me with is something along the lines of "Obviously I didn't mean it literally. It's a figure of speech", and then I'll refer you back to Esmoreit's points which you still haven't seemed to grasp.

I have heard many people saying game has soul...What points?

Hmh I can't really remember all, but I got my amiga from my neighborhood, played some frog game and some Laurer and Hardy game and some others,then I remember at first grade we were playing this "Captain america" game on snes which had multiplayer which was huge!I was always Iron man...Ofc I remember summers with my best friend with Megaman x2 and Yoshis island.

Let's do it this way. Here's Merriam-Webster's 8 different definitions of soul. You tell me which one pertains to video games.

Now I'm going to say that off the bat, the only one I see applying is #8, which is the word "soul" associated with soul music.
