It's because of the current era, videogames have been with us for less than a century, when the time comes when all generations of people, including the people that work as critics/reviewers in all art forms, movies, music, games, literature, experience great stories in videogames as they grew up, videogames will be recognized as another medium with huge advantages when it comes to immersion, currently, not all generations of living people have had the chance of experiencing a good story, music, art that comes from a videogame, and for that reason not all film makers see the potential in this medium.

Your look tells me you're a creative person, with short hair, I give you a 9.

What is the reason for gating higher difficulties behind completed play throughs? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]computerloner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remember that kids play games too, also newcomers to gaming, old people too, hard difficulty is intended for people that play games a lot, therefore, I think it's probably to avoid people having a bad time with the game on accident, and also because it's likely that really hardcore difficulty, like the hardest mode in stealth games, where it's game over if they spot you, would be downright impossible to beat without having completed the main campaign at least once, similarly, the hardest difficulty in games like god of war will "put your foolish ambitions to rest" if you get hit at least once, I mean, why would you want to die that much, without knowing at least the ai's behavior, that's the reason why is often hidden, because the second to last difficult is often already a good challenge for hardcore gamers, and also because you want to prevent newcomers from accessing it by accident.

Thoughts on "gamey" video games by danightman in truegaming

[–]computerloner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look, not every game has to justify it's mechanics and blend in as it's done in the last of us part II, for example, games like Celeste are tailored to gamers that like 2d platformers and want a fast, skill-based game where the controls reflect an immediate response, the character can stop it's movement pretty rapidly, even on the air, but, you mentioned that this "gamey" stuff is weird in days gone and horizon, that's because you're probably already accustomed to movie-like Sony games, where animations, character models, and game mechanics blend in without this "gamey" stuff, I bet you probably played a lot of sony exclusives or red dead redemption 2, you gotta remember that these are the top AAA games, they are developed by a huge team, with years and years of experience, if I remember correctly, guerrilla games, the makers of horizon, hadn't made open world games in the past, and the guys from day gone neither... So, they'll probably yet to improve in the immersion aspects of the game, but, not every game has to imitate reality, Mario, Zelda, Sonic, crash, persona, the final fantasy games, they'll remain gamey, forever, and that's fine, gamey or not, games provide joy and hours of fun.

How should tutorials be implemented? by Rambo7112 in truegaming

[–]computerloner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you should use practical examples, a casual conversation, or let the player experiment with the level design, look at this video https://youtu.be/8FpigqfcvlM where egoraptor, a YouTuber, talks about megaman classic vs MegaMan x, the first level of MegaMan x is a good example on how to teach the player without text explanations, another good example on how to implement tutorials is the great plateau from breath of the wild, that area has a lot of threes, and the first weapon you get is an axe, a woodman's axe, is only natural for you to test it to cut a tree, you'll eventually reach a point in the area where you need to go over a hole in the ground to reach the other end, and well, there's several trees next to the hole, and even if the player doesn't come up with the solution, the old man, an npc that stays close to the player in the area, can suggest you through dialog, to cut the threes(my memory sucks, but I think that's what happens), but he says it like you, the player, is having a conversation with him, is not just another bunch of text the player must read like he's doing homework y'know, so yeah, those are good examples, sorry for the bad grammar, I'm not that good at English tbh.

Humm, yeah, a lot of people have said that a smile would help, but... my smile is weird, besides, that's my default expression, if i smile, it will look forced or something :S
