I feel for the ones who, when the purge comes, will have their whole extended family murdered, but only when the family dog gets brought before them will they be able to summon any emotion for it. It does seem like both the final stage of something and a eternal return in human behavior.

Will the dog's yelping come out of the DS4 speaker? That would really add an extra 'oomph' to your emotions.

Codependent Poster posted:Remember, the word fun is banned or some poo poo by ND! is it impossible to make a game with uncomfortable things in it or just in this instance. alternately is it impossible to make a good game that isnt fun, and if so what does that imply for games next to other art and media.

i think it's possible to make a good game that isn't fun, I just don't think ND or really any AAA studio is able to do it

There's a real argument to be made for something like Death Stranding which is not 'fun' in a remotely traditional sense but still is undeniably an AAA title and good at what it is trying to do. This War Of Mine is an Ubisoft-published game that is absolutely not fun in any normal sense of the word but still is very effective at what it does.

Can we admire how the trailer highlights "multiple settings" and "interior & exterior environments for the player to navigate"? AND ROPES? Next you'll tell me Ellie has a jump button. Hmm I think the seven years were spent all on crispy dog FX

*An overgrown FEDRA GATE with BARBED WIRE. BIG BLOCK-LETTER GRAFFITI: "gently caress FEDRA".* This level of Environmental Storytelling is Unprecedented. I do like the Hotline Miami/Ice Cube. It's nice they're humanizing their enemies but the character writing has to be there first. Is it just me or does every person talk the same

I liked the dialogue and was sad when Ellie brutally murdered them. I think that means that the devices they're using are working. Also it's gonna be very weird to walk down apocalyptic Seattle boardwalk, I'm gonna wanna loot the first Starbucks

This War Of Mine is an Ubisoft-published game that is absolutely not fun in any normal sense of the word but still is very effective at what it does. Pathologic is a perfect example of a great game that's not designed to be fun imo. Death Stranding's traversal isn't designed to be fun for the most part (except ziplines and maybe the motorbike on a paved road) but I'd say its combat segments are. Obviously the Pathologic games have leeway as indie titles that AAA ones don't. I think Death Stranding probably pushed it as far as a AAA game can, considering how much grief it got at launch. I hope it was profitable but I doubt it. I figure Druckmann was just trying to be provocative when he said that TLOU2 isn't supposed to be fun because if that were true gameplay would look radically different from what it is. I've already talked this to death though. MeatwadIsGod fucked around with this message at 01:39 on May 28, 2020 |

I like the gameplay loop of picking guys off from the shadows, getting spotted with a mad scramble to take 1 or 2 guys out as quick as possible before the rest converge on your position, and then getting away to hide again. the incredibly bleak atmosphere turns me off from it though

I think one of the coolest things about TLoU is how smoothly it transitions between stealth and a type of action where you're always scrambling and needing to improvise to take people out quickly, and then back to stealth, and then back to action. This only really applies if you're playing on Hard mode or higher since Normal gives you plentiful ammo, but it's a good gameplay loop.

It's starting to feel like Naughty Dog resents having had to make this sequel and has decided to make it as grueling an experience as possible. I had to nope out of the streamed live gameplay shown earlier after the hideously realistic-looking throat stab.

Stux posted:do you carry this limitation over to other media or is it only games Depends on your definition of “fun”. If you mean “enjoyable” then yeah, I do. I’m not going to sit myself down for a few hours of watching the grimmest atrocity footage out there minus any context or a sub-Asylum grade garbage movie. Not everything has to be a rollicking happy fun adventure but at some point it has to be an enjoyable experience to be worth doing as entertainment. Maybe it’s enjoyable because of the emotion and drama or because you learn something. Schindlers List or a documentary on the AIDS crisis in the 80s aren’t “fun” but there is still enjoyment to be had there. Note the bit about “as entertainment” up there. Video games and movies etc get held to a different standard than, say, an instructional DVD about how to use Excel. A textbook and a novel get judged on different criteria despite both being books. Pretty much anything involving a PlayStation is going to fit into the entertainment rubric as far as I’m concerned.

There are definitely things that are informative or fulfilling to engage in in spite of not being fun. "Contrived videogame scenario where you are forced to kill someone's dog every few minutes" does not, immediately, seem like one of those things to me.

Learning things and emotional, dramatic, harrowing stories can be entertaining without being “fun” in the way that a comedy or a Super Mario Bros game is, yes. This is why I expanded “fun” to include entertaining. I think “fun” is an idiotic metric for media but “entertaining” works for most. This is the key difference between, for example, Schindler’s List, a holocaust documentary, and two hours of un edited genocide footage without commentary.
