I consider myself a gamer and don't relate to what you're talking about. Every single thing in the world "might have some serious problematic implications" if you ask the right people, depending on what they consider "problematic" and "serious". I grew up hearing that "games are for awkward...

Easily-offended individuals will always find something to be offended with. There's nothing that can be done about that.

Japanese school rankings has S above A, where S means 10/10. I believe it stands for Superior, as some countries use some variation of an I-M-S (Inferior, Medium, Superior) grading system. Example: Brazil uses II-MI-MM-MS-SS (so SS kinda means "Superior-Superior"). That's why Japanese games...

You should have both designed together. Just patching one on top of the other will be a recipe for something less than great.

I don't have much a problem with the word "pretentions" as I have with "meaningful". Pretty much, using the term "meaningful" when talking about games is the very definition of "pretentious".

Here's a list of very scary games: Siren Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly White Day: A Labyrinth Named School Penumbra: Overture Penumbra: Black Plague

The very idea that a video-game character made of polygons somehow "represents" me is nothing short of depressing. I can't undersand people wanting to be "represented" inside the fictional slice of video-game. You're the player, you're real instead of fictional, you have free-will instead of...

Basically everyone I see saying they haven an "idea" for a "game" only have ideas for stories and nothing else. That's part of why game "ideas" are considered worth nothing.

Are people that spend their vacation at home smarter than people that travel? Are people that eat McDonald's smarter than people than people that go to steak houses? Are people that watch sports on TV smarter than people who go to the stadiums? Are people that play DiRT smarter than people...

Gameplay is Mechanics, Dynamics and - when caused or affected by those - Aesthetics (emergent story is still gameplay, not mere plot/writing)*. You're talking as if gameplay is just the pressing of buttons. It's not, but it seems there's a huge misunderstanding going in the thread about what...

Just what I was going to say. Really, this game has a lot of content. The only modern games that have this much content and true enemy variety are JRPGs or MMOs, but those are all about character stats rather than player skills, like Symphony Of The Night is, you can beat the game (on the...

I think "Click Flick" sounds pretty short... But Gone Home is not one of those, it's a Point-and-Click Adventure / Hidden Object game.

There are lots of great stories in games, you must be only playing the bad ones.

I used to Yay but in the least few years I'm more likely to Nay. Not because sequels are bad, but because the sequels are bad.
