I'm willing to give games journalism the benefit of the doubt and say that things like Gone Home or DepressionQuest are made specifically to be the kind of games geared towards people who are games journalists in the same vein that movies that win Oscars tend to be movies geared towards people in the Academy (Argot was literally a movie about how HOLLYWOOD HELPED SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES. Of course it won Best Picture). I'm also willing to concede that journalists can (and are) friends with the objects of their criticism due to liking their work. I've known a few food critics who routinely give good reviews to their chef friends, but those friendships started because the critics liked the chefs' food, not the other way around. Then we get allegations of sexual favors and idk what's real anymore.

Hogge Wild posted:has anything new happened in the last 2 days Not really, aside from hacking attempts and spites as well as other commentators like Total Biscuit sort of weighing in on it and the promise that one of the guys she cheated with is going to come out with their story (and is a girl). Really though, things seem to be in a holding pattern till PAX.

Do you guys think Kickstarter or Indiegogo is a more appropriate funding platform for my upcoming game where I do a voiceover reading of Hills Like White Elephants while you walk around the train depot map from TF2

An argument could be made for Gone Home. It in no way deserved a 10 out of 10 score, but there was at least real effort put into it, and it was very atmospheric. My major issue with Gone Home is that it was presented as something it wasn't (some kind of spooky game), and it got inflated ratings. Depression Quest, on the other hand, is an 80's era choose your own adventure book, except replace book with pamphlet; it should have never even been acknowledged by anyone.

It's funny idiots are saying gone home is original and new to the industry when The 7th Guest actually did the same loving thing a thousand years ago and actually had puzzles/gameplay too.

Lobster Harmonica posted:Anita Sarkeesi was confirmed for the new Mario Kart DLC If you play as a male character and hit her with a blue shell, the race results are hidden and Anita is declared the winner. The game will then play all of Anita's Feminist Frequency videos as punishment for what you've done and to educate the player. These are not skippable and pressing any button will make the whole playlist start over again.

In the future, all media is video games. i can't sit through a book so slap that poo poo onto a Garry's Mod map. let me open the fridge and close it a couple times and i'm golden. this is emergent gameplay. i understand that life isn't always fun or interesting and that's why i get these games

this is the best loving thread, new lols everyday. every time you think things can't get more ridiculous someone does something stupider and ups the ante. if you come into this thread to say "gas" or "hurf who cares" or "is this still going" you are a massive human being that needs to stop posting

If I took the story of a good book and put it in a twinge game with little interactivity is it a good game because the game is defined by the story?
