I don't want to change your mind I want to make sure I never meet you in real life.
Go read a fucking book loser.
>vidya is artistic!
Yikes.

but why when i can get the book and so much more from a game.
a picture tell's a thousand words.

If I met a person who started talking about how video games are beautiful and the best way to tell a story I would consider them mentally challenged and treat them as such.

Keep looking to a monitor experience shit you could literally go outside and experience. Grow up.

Just simpering control-freaks running around in big nerd packs taking everything over ruling everything becoming police officers with weapons tasering us for fun YOU PEOPLE ARE CANCER

they can be but im not making a point for any particular game, the format simply allows for more involvement, diversity and depth than any book, play or movie could ever hope too.

It's the most accessible way for the most people to interact with ideas. The main difference between video games and books or movies is that video games are interactive. This gives you the opportunity to force the player to make choices, so they have to think critically and be creative while they enjoy stories.

Damnit riddler, you'll never get the necronomicon!

Suuuure lad whatever you say ;l

it also increases the likelihood that the player will remember the experience and give it further contemplation in the future.

Too much book reading will lead to a closed narrative. Anyone else ever notice than avid readers have trouble switching lanes.

I would say for experiencing a story perhaps but nothing can beat the spoken word when it comes to telling a story.

I'm playing Rimworld right now and it's the best story generator I've ever played, not to mention it's fun as hell. 10/10 pick that shit up today.

well this is an option for games tbh user.

watched the rim world ice sheet challenge it was surprisingly enjoyable.

Ice sheet is too hardcore for me, I find a boreal forest tile with a 10 day growing season and that's more than challenging enough to keep me happy.

The pacing of the story is entirely dependent on the player. This alone makes it the absolute worst medium to tell stories.

i really need to get this game the learning curve seems steep though.

Not in Rimworld, there's an AI storyteller that keeps the pace.

depends on the game, that pacing can be delivered to the player ni any fashion the director deems fit, for fast paced story telling nothing can beat a movie though its simply a matter of invested time.

good work user

Can't

Literally retarded. Did you orate that to your handler?

exactly

Once upon a time, I was reading the Internet. I happened upon a pimply incel who was so isolated from social contact that it rationalized great virtues to a medium of entertainment simply because it was unlikely to leave it's lair to experience life in all it's complicated rich glory. I made an attempt at correcting the incel's ignorant viewpoint, but to no avail.

I went on my merry way, grateful that I don't live the same story over and over through a computer screen.

The end.

Thanks for reading my story. I'm glad you liked it.

It's fine, start on easy or base builder mode to get the hang of the mechanics, then work your way up until you feel comfortable. I play on rough difficulty and it's brutal but usually survivable.

I read the first one and a half sentences before replying, so no thanks are deserved.

Also, colonists will die and colonies will burn. Dealing with loss and terrible odds are just part of the game. Move on and roll a new start.

Ignorance is bliss, if only each and everyone of us could predicate to our fullest ability.

Reference Plato's allegory

That is subjective. Some people would like to play a LOTR video game, while others would prefer to watch the movies or read the book.

The level of immersion you achieve is dependent on the person. Sometimes you can immerse yourself more in a story simply by using your imagination. There is no "best medium" overall, there is only the best medium for YOU.

You read the whole thing more than once. And it moved you to feel a set of emotions, like art does, and even respond in the hopes of further interaction.

It's ok to feel this way user. Good storytelling is a moving experience.

statistically speaking providing more avenues for immersion is objectively the better choice.

now for the 404 agent

I didn't though and you're a retard

nope

well done!

I would say a game might tell a good a story and be a better medium that a book but that doesnt mean that books are inferior. Also a game's point to me is yhe same as a manga/anime is to sell the book ie(homm, warcraft, starcraft ,doom ,god of war and so on )

but in terms of the format's ability to convey a story games win out in almost every category due to the depth of possibilities available.

depends on the story you are telling

lots of great video game stories only work in their games, and you can see this as true in almost every movie or book adaption of a game

a story can be great through whatever medium its told, and even if your favorite stories are the ones told in games, it doesnt make games are the best medium for every story.

the tools available to a game developer dwarf those available to any other medium, therefore this method of story telling is superior.
thank god for progress or my dumb ass would be stuck reading books ;)

At this point they're not even a medium anymore. More like extra large now.
