i hate the current state of gaming, just like the current state of movies and literature. everyone is buying garbage and becoming personally invested in it so any criticism comes off as a criticism against the person themselves

agree

Is that how you percieve my argument?

what was your argument

woot

that was mean XD

i scrolled up and it was something about cod and jrpgs being the new philosophers

That games can still dive into the same topics or themes as books and still have the same layers of depth as the novels.

sure, i agree, but they have to approach it using the strengths of their medium

if games try to copy movies they will fail. they need to be games first

But you just said they couldn't

because they dont

There's a difference between "couldn't" and "don't"

@Happy Humble Hermit what’s your favorite game type btw

@Nawalter Jizney i enjoy everything except rts games and even then ive played a few rts games

Gotcha

So it depends on the game

Ultimately

There are games that have themes about the human desire for violence through action heavy combat, if that's what you're saying.

very few games have incorporated serious themes into gameplay. im trying to think of a few

telltale's walking dead was great but thats barely a game

I ask cause I didn’t expect a dungeon crawler game

lul

Hotline Miami?

Fallout?

@Nawalter Jizney what dungeon crawler game

hotline miami and fallout definitely

Okay, I get what you're saying.

Like the clip of mouse utopia you showed

It’s 1st person dungeon crawler

I'd say Deus Ex, but that's only because of what I've heard.

for my game im aiming at re-creating elder scrolls 1/2. i cant afford everything bethesda can but with that style i can do an rpg that incorporates player choice and freedom better than anything they've made recently

i didnt have all the assets for the setting outside of the dungeon when i made that video

Undertale does it as well. Though in a more... tedious fashion

Dark Souls does too, I'd say.

I’d recommend checking out dragon view, that might help later on@Happy Humble Hermit

i would agree with both of those as well @[chase dreams]

@Happy Humble Hermit Shit, I don't even know why we were arguing then.

Either way it’s not a negative thing, I just didn’t see it going from Mario platformer to dnd

omg ...
