Social Media and Games

Some critiques of games I have are the overabundance of Space Marines and the lack of female protagonists. There are tons of space marines, but only a few female heroes.

Dialogue is a part of what gives a character soul. It’s also about their complexity, the different struggles, and how they react to the game’s challenges. The voice actor’s approach and execution of the role also plays a part. A more accurate way of describing would be ‘bringing a character to life’. That’s where I [...]

@mmrichter Yeah, I completely agree with you with first person shooters completely covering the gaming market. There are a few good ones, but for the most part they’re completely the same and are all around ridiculous. Oooh… I’m glad to hear that the dialogue gives the characters soul. I think the game that sort of comes [...]

A game I really like that took me by surprise is Saints Row: The Third. One thing I really like about it is that it has something most games don’t: from the dialogue to the game space to the characters, the game has soul; it’s an immature, slightly psychotic soul, but spirit nonetheless. The game [...]

I play video games to escpae. Video games are the only places were you can kill Death and fights Greek gods (Dante’s Inferno, God of War, Bayonetta). Games are the only medium were you can level an entire city block with military-grade weaponry (Saints Row, Bulletstorm). Video Games let you instantly become the hero at [...]

I like mass effect. Great story, gameplay, and the graphics are awesome. Can’t wait till 3 comes out.

I play games because to me video games help me release stress.

My critique for games is mainly… what is with all the shooters?! Seriously, the amount of shooting games being released is bordering on ridiculous.

I prefer games that are an awesome experience. Basically, those are games that have good combination of music, visual, story, and gameplay. Yahtzee Croshaw would explain it as games you can become easily ‘immersed’ in. Those games are games like Kingdom Hearts, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, Bioshock, No More Heroes, Saints Row: The Third [...]

@gundam0093 Metroid Fusion and Final Fantasy IX is pretty good in terms of plot. I also recommend the Quest for Glory series.

I enjoy the story plots. Games like Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, Devil May Cry, Ace Combat, Bioshock, and more.

Anyone knows any game with a good plot?

Who says you can’t fight aliens in Real life? lol.

I play games mainly because of the experience the story takes me through. Being a soldier during WW2, fighting aliens, driving a $300,000 car. All things I can never do in real life. Game make these possible to experience. It takes my boring life and makes it somewhat exciting.

I play games because I am looking for a way to immerse myself. Games, Music, Movies, TV, Books, and the Internet are all ways I accomplish this.

I really enjoy reading novels, though I still play a lot of games too and get quite irritated by railroading stories with little ability to interact with how the story goes… It’s strange to like a directed story with books but dislike it with games, I suppose in the end I just approach the different [...]

@joncausith64 I wouldn’t say games are the best for of entertainment. but it is certainly a valid opinion.
