Oh, I can understand that. I was more referring to the rabid, rabid refusal to even try games that are art, unless they're, say, SoTC.CapnRaccoon said:I read through your post and all I could think about what was how you were over thinking the situation? Perhaps it's merely a genre that people aren't a fan of?
I've never played Flower, but I do own Sleep Is Death; I tried it - And whilst it can be fun, I merely prefer big tits and rocket launchers, it's merely a genre that I prefer, the same way that I prefer Western RPGs over racing or puzzle games.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for new things that make us go "Oooh, that's nice" - But at the end of the day, maybe it's not for everyone.
Oh right, well then yea, no one likes those types 8DSnowDensOfYesteryear said:Oh, I can understand that.

Oh, I loved it. I'm just a pansy and it scared the SHIT out of me.Yennick said:Uncomfortable memory? Figured if you were a proponent of "art games" and all you might find that one interesting though. Something about it rub you the wrong way? I suppose it does have plenty of disturbing points and moments to it. Still, I loved it when I played it.SnowDensOfYesteryear said:Oh dear lord. I'm going to go curl up in a corner because you reminded me of that game.
Yes, you can see where I said ALL art games, wait, no you can't because I specifically said MOST. Yes, that does imply the majority but does not mean ALL. Once again you are reading into our words and making it mean whatever helps your point. But I won't worry about that, I'll answer your question.SnowDensOfYesteryear said:...Oohboy.
The guy I called ADD-ish said he only got about 20 minutes into the game. If you got twenty minutes into a book and put it down because it didn't immediately have the entertainment that was put on the back of the book, that would be really fucking stupid.RowdyRodimus said:And right here we have an example of an art snob. If someone doesn't care for your pretentious little game that seemingly simulates a scene from another pretentious form of media (in this case American Beauty with the trash and leaves) then automatically the person has ADD and is only interested in killing.
And hey, at least I'm not one of those asshats calling people philistines.
Now tell me, Mister Rowdy, what was the last art game you actually played to any extent? Any? Ever? You seem to be making assumptions that all art games, all of them, are just some devvie's stupid moaning, becoming emo bitches and typing their whiny shit up. Frankly, that's not it at all. I'd like to point out Erik Svëdang's game Blueberry Garden. It's a game mostly just about curiosity and exploration, and it really doesn't force views on you. And it also, happens to be fun. Maybe you have tried indie games, and hated them, but that's like playing a first-person shooter someone made on an engine that was really shitty, and then giving up on first-person shooters entirely because one sucked.RowdyRodimus said:Maybe it's because most arty games are all style and no substance. Maybe it's just that they aren't really games and interactive paintings. Maybe it's because people want video games to be, you know, games and not lessons on the creators views on life.
