No video game has ever or will ever invoke the global emotional response that films or literature do. The artists making them are creatively throttled by the gaming industry and emotionally stunted by the culture. The market is beyond flooded. Twitch culture is just plain sad. It offers no knowledge or inspiration save for walkthroughs (which are for pussies). The fuckwads that treat video games like actual athletics are fucking cringe and those that are actually the best are getting abused by their sponsors because nobody gives a fat fuck. The real accomplishment was creating the product not the nameless sheep that play it.
For specifics, Texas Saw is better than DBD but immediately broken by speedrunners. Without randomized levels it’s toast. The Quarry was a joke. Give me actual filmed cutscenes and the style of gameplay is dated and cheap. I’d rather just watch Banderdnatch. The Last of Us was the closest you’ll ever get to a mature, thoughtful, narrative and the show was way better than the game anyway. Fuck Anon.
I was gonna make a sarcastic comment about how video games can psychologically invoke stronger emotions for a lot of people mainly because of the interactivity, but I gotta go with the other reply to this comment.
Oof. What a garbage take. Would you feel the same if it were movies? Books?
Nothing cures your depression more than this media in time
