@frostbite2user @RyogaRod And it doesn't feel like a pointless game where you steal cars and beat up people cause that is fun apparently....or any other non-sens in that direction.
The game industry is one of that awfully exploited industries for reasons other than money, yet it has such an enormous potential on so many levels. They could keep us sane, healthy, smart, bright, happy, friendly, and so many others because they can embrace so easily so many topics and one could make a powerful point by exploiting this potential.
@dannyodwyer @Hjindee yeah that game is one of the better games of this world, even if some will argue the story was kinda meh. Let's be serious....ROPE BOW kk. I remember it was a bugfest at lunch.
@Printul_Noptii Don't forget that you talk about a game from 2007. For me, at that time, I found the graphics and art to be stunning. And, like this one, what made it a masterpiece for me, was the well thought perspective with philosophical accents. That, for me, in comparison to so many other games, is art and I apreciated that, if nothing else.
@bigruss51 PC will always be ahead of a device that has set in stone performance for obvious reasons. Stop waiting for a future that will never come, cause it's honestly a waste of your time, and that's not good :)
@CaptainKrunch10 So the fact that you can shoot brainlessly some aliens and move through some fancy places makes a game great? What about depth? I don't see any. Maybe that's why it got a 7.5, and maybe his opinion is actually quite proper considering that if you think it through it doesn't improve on the series, nor on the game industry as a whole. SO why grade it higher?
@Nikosnik123 Why would a game which actually brings some new ideas to the table and which is a great metaphor to our own society be more anticipated than a 'shoot scary things' horror wannabe game? You tell me.
@Atheosis we need to burn them books. They are essencialy singleplayer and have nothing more to it than a linear story. Hopefuly not all ppl think like that, cause soon we will be playing COD with friends all day long and have our brains washed from so much social experience online *sigh*
I hope to see devs approach more sensitive topics in their games in order to give more value to their work then just the all might FUN everyone seems to be dancing around these days. I'm personally bored of having fun all the time and sometimes I'd rather play something that feels constructive in the same way a good book delivers great ideas that shape our character.
I think games can be considered one of future's main medias since the people who will soon be adults are those who grew with those games we see around us and they are not so likely to throw them away, not even when they get older. That being said i think games will have an important impact and will shape our children's minds. This is serious, and this should be treated very carefully, unless the idea of our children becoming some empty shells that only like to have fun sounds like a good go.
Discussing what or how we want to achieve this is quite a different topic, but for the time being I think it was worth mentioning.
Other then that, I hope for a method of balancing good graphics and great content, because sometimes you can't relay only on good gameplay to deliver your idea, and graphics have great importance as well, in order to create a certain atmosphere. The truth is people have 5 senses and the more we can stimulate them the better the idea in our game will be passed to them. Ofc that doesn't mean we can't also have games like the Indie sort. Those are important as well and can impress on someone in an equal amount sometimes.
Regarding the payment I think the idea of delivering 1-2 chapters/levels for a small price and the rest only after for a bigger amount of money is a great idea for many reasons that were stated already.
Last but not least I think users should be more united and speak loudly what they want. Even if it is obvious not all people think/feel the same regarding a game or a subject, there are issues that bother most of the people (DRM for example) and against those things we need to protest together, going as far as not buying games from a certain company unless our desire is not fulfilled. Again, it needs to be done by a large majority in order to have effect.
