@phnt @iamtakingiteasy @lain @cell there is a place for games with or without story in gods green earth but we’re being dictated to by people that just want games to be stories with a sprinkling of interactivity and that is so pathetically bleak and limiting for the medium

@sun @iamtakingiteasy @phnt @cell i don't even think that is true, as the story of most of these games is not worth the name. it's 'stuff happening'.

@lain @iamtakingiteasy @phnt @cell the think it's good though, they are just dumb and facile. 

incidentally games like doom: theres no story in the fucking game. you know what there is? worldbuilding. worldbuilding can actuall be important in a game where there's no story. in doom you just shoot a bunch of shit up but the world building in doom is top tier

@lain @iamtakingiteasy @phnt @cell incidentally have you noticed how many actual movies now are just "stuff happening" lol

the southpark guys used to talk about filmmaking 101 where every scene has to be "this and because this just happened this now happens" but instead people do "and then this happens"
