@sun this divides the games-as-literature vs games-as-porn people
@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
@sun @iamtakingiteasy @phnt @cell i don't even think that is true, as the story of most of these games is not worth the name. it's 'stuff happening'.
@lain @iamtakingiteasy @phnt @cell the think it's good though, they are just dumb and facile.
incidentally games like doom: theres no story in the fucking game. you know what there is? worldbuilding. worldbuilding can actuall be important in a game where there's no story. in doom you just shoot a bunch of shit up but the world building in doom is top tier
