“gameplay” not “videogames” ya goalpost moving twat!

“Gameplay” is a distinctly difference facet from storytelling and is very objectively defined.

Get over your artsy fartsy bullshit and use your head. Tell me the plot to tic tac toe. You can’t, can you? You can however, define the objective, strategies, and means of interacting with the game state. That’s where game is and story isn’t.

I’m so sick of people missing the point for not even looking because they think they’re just here to win a prize.

It’s definitely important. It’s just distinctly different from the concept of a game. Putting it in games is even better!

Yo, holy moly! They basically did with quake how I just suggested by making a game and slapping a story on afterwards!!! How TF did I come up with quake as my example for this!?!?! It’s either pure luck or actual shared vision!

Loool, I gotta watch that now.

Nothing like this can be quantified. There’s just people in these companies who think they have an easy target to pass the buck. Losers who lean on excuses like that never make anything good. It doesn’t even matter if your excuse is something real and valid. Just beat it.

Reduction from what to what? Don’t give me that “potential” bullshit. Count your chickens after they hatch. One game is not comparable to another.

I very disagree. How much writing is there in Chess? Can you think of any writing in Quake? You can definitely consider Quake great without the being any writing involved at all.

I think writers should stick to writing and game makers should go picking and choosing stories that would suit their game.

It’s absolutely not subjective. A game is literally pursuit of a definite objective. All the color and flavor that isn’t a mechanic in itself is just extra.

I’ve got an iron flask which would be perfect if they would actually sell replacement lids!

If you insist. 😏

Stupid nanny states.

All of them that are so generic I gotta add “the videogame” to when I’m googling.

People say that? Also wtf, I never knew there was some kind of mint involved!

The video conference zoom?

I already play Eve. Ideas gotta be new!

Why do they interlock so nice?

Cold Storage anyone?

Omg dawg, that card needs to be in with my old slivers!

GEEEEEZ.

I used to be a prodigy who never lost a FNM but had to sell off my collection so I could afford to eat. Shortly after they increased card power per mana by like 1.5 and introduced Planeswalker cards. This makes everything favor rapid rollout strategies and lowers statistical stability a lot! I decided the game was ruined a at that point and didn’t go back.
