Guys, the depiction of women in gaming is problematic and leads to perceptions of women that are sexist and damaging. *Muffled yelps and moans from closet* (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

INH5 posted:So if I'm following your argument right, FPS games are considered "legitimate" because of earlier good FPS games. And HOPA games have not had good enough games to give them legitimacy. Your evidence for this is that the HOPA games that you've encountered don't have very compelling stories or characters. Because early FPS games like Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, and Quake are primarily appreciated for their deep stories and well-written characters. Well these games are built around a narrative focus, even if that narrative is just a half finished skeleton. Hidden Object games are commonly mystery or horror themed and the characters that exist are generally investigating a murder, disappearance or para-natural occurrence. Im going to qualify my next statement: In my own experience with these games, which is limited to watching over the shoulder and giving hints the story portion of these games are flimsy at best. The writing isnt engaging, youre lucky if the characters have more than one portrait, and the story scenes in between game boards is typically "Oh, heres this key I was looking for, now I can open the door! *fade to black, cut to next game board*". These games arepumped out at an obscene rate because theyre easy to make, and the people playing them can consume them rapidly. However theres no depth to the mechanics and theres no meat to the narrative. Theyve failed to legitimize themselves as either the narrative driven storygame that the new generation champions and theyve failed to legitimize themselves as engaging games since they amount to nothing more than a match game, something that has been done a hundred thousand times before. Theyre meant to be just what they are: relaxing games with soothing music to be consumed and thrown away. That consumable nature though also means there isnt a hell of a lot to talk about which is why hidden object games arent going to make headlines.

natetimm posted:Zeitgueist is like the Sarah Butts of D&D. Everyone here secretly thinks he's gross and hypocritical but they kind of have to stick up for his hypocritical bullshit because he mostly agrees with them on other things. It's the essence of strange bedfellows. Literally only one person gets off on humiliating minorities for physical pleasure in this debate, but I bet it would shock an outsider which side and how fiercely he was protected. "we conservatives are the silent majority and if the real world seems to indicate otherwise then reality is wrong. nyaner nyaaner stupid libtard faggots"
