@sun this divides the games-as-literature vs games-as-porn people

@lain @sun was he right?

@cell @lain @sun Play the original Doom or Quake and then the first Half Life. You've got your answer.

@phnt @lain @cell @sun Half-life still adheres to this principle, which is why we don't have any sequels past HL2 -- gameplay innovation is quite difficult.

@iamtakingiteasy @lain @cell @sun Half Life without the story is boring and quite mediocre. Just like Doom without the fast paced gameplay.

@phnt @iamtakingiteasy @lain @cell there is a place for games with or without story in gods green earth but we’re being dictated to by people that just want games to be stories with a sprinkling of interactivity and that is so pathetically bleak and limiting for the medium
