This thread shouldn't be gassed. In fact, I think it needs to stick around for a while longer IMO.

It sounds like you just hate women unless they fit into a very specific mold, so perhaps you're the misogynist here?

Serious question, though I hate to bring up Gone Home again. Those that say Gone Home "isn't a game", were they born or became of gaming age in the 90s? I was, but I played text adventures once in a while when really young from the 80s. They had as much interactivity as Gone Home did usually, which makes me wonder if people criticizing it for not being a true game aren't old enough to have experienced or know about text adventure games. Seems they don't know the roots of adventure gaming, because no one in the same sentence says those games aren't games either. This is aside from all the other criticisms and dislike, and purely about the "it's not a game!" criticism. Just seems like people lobbing anything negative they can think of against it because they don't like it without realizing the implications to the history of the medium.

How very equal of you. E: Gone home was boring. You walked in, you read a few things, game was over. Not worth the price tag and worth the mockery, same with any other "game" nowadays that tries the same thing. You have to think back then the simple mechanics were a symptom of the times. Nowadays the only reason it had no gameplay mechanics is because they wanted to create an "arty game" and it just ended up being poo poo.

I've played games which made me believe that Russians were non-human scum, and that allied Central European nations were the same. I hope that the American arbiters will find time in deciding the merit of video games to judge the vastly inferior politics of the Balkans.

THE PENETRATOR posted:on the other hand, text adventure games have puzzles Was that "legit" interactivity or was it "GET LAMP" + Enter? It's been a long time since playing those games, but I recall Gone Home had most of the same things many text adventures had at the time, they merely streamlined it. So instead of GO WEST > GET DIARY > Scribble down locker combination > GO NORTH > 2342, it was more streamlined. You looked actually around your environment yourself, rather than having a text dump. You moved things with your mouse, rather than having to type "OPEN MAILBOX" only to have your response be "I don't know how to do that". The puzzles seemed identical to me, but again, bad memory. "How do I get in room?", "Oh, I need to LOOK CLOSET to find the lamp and then type GET LAMP so I can see the key!" (  ), where as Gone Home seemed to do it with graphics and clicking. Not to say it was an amazing game, but the interactivity just seemed streamlined. It felt like the contemporary equivalent to a text adventure game to me.

THE PENETRATOR posted:http://www.skepticfiles.org/cowtext/advent~1/zorksead.htm Today's games can't replicate 30 year old technology.  But seriously, from the wiki to Zork, it "distinguished itself in its genre as an especially rich game, in terms of both the quality of the storytelling and the sophistication of its text parser, which was not limited to simple verb-noun commands". Zork distinguished itself for it's sophisticated technology for the time against a plethora of games that could not handle "some prepositions and conjunctions ('hit the troll with the Elvish sword')." Most other text adventures were far simpler, but then so is Gone Home compared to other adventure games. Gone Home is no Zork, comparatively speaking.

Here is a detailed guide for Metroid's antagonists: Metroid 1: Mother Brain wants to clone an army of Metroids and use them to gently caress poo poo up. Metroid Prime: The Space Pirates are dicks. I mean, they're called "Space Pirate" ffs. Metroid Prime 2: Some blob monsters have made an evil version of a planet and want to consume the normal version of the planet with their EVIL planet! Metroid Prime 3: The evil goo from the first Metroid Prime is actually sentient, really evil, and wants to take over the galaxy! Metroid 2: Metroids are a living liability. It's genociding time! Super Metroid: See Metroid 1. Other M: The Federation is evil and wants to make their own Metroids and maybe Ridleys?!!?!?!? Fusion: See Other M, but without the evil Ridley clone army.
