We have a steam group? I combed through some of the older posts and couldn't find it anywhere. I can't remember the last time I played a game on consoles, they're so bad now. I also don't have a lot of faith for next gen, either.

same here really, haven't found any console game this year that i really enjoyed as much as the years before that.

Yeah, Gowi started it up in July and invited some of us to it, but I think it pretty much ended there.

I just don't have the computer to handle many games.

Sad news indeed.

You say Sonic Youth, I say Nickelback. You say Animal Collective, I say Breaking Benjamin. You say Neutral Milk Hotel, I say Evanescence. You say Radiohead, I say Drowning Pool. You say Tyler, The Creator, I say Three Days Grace. You say Arcade Fire, I say Linkin Park. You say Björk, I say Green Day. 94% of teens have turned to experimental, alternative rock and hip-hop. If you are part of the 6% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other weird ass band shoutboxes. DON’T LET THE SPIRIT OF EMO ROCK DIE

I love Evanescence and generally can't stand Tyler, The Creator, Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, and post-The Bends Radiohead, though. lol.

Well... I think it would make a very different experience. Player freedom also means less agency for the author in terms of narrative. An open-ended game like Minecraft says something about a set of rules and the resulting conflicts (human vs nature), not about specific stories that take place inside the set of rules, because they are unpredictable. You can't really create an autobiographical narrative, like dys4ia is, if the story is open-ended.

I totally agree, but this is just my biases coming into play; open-ended games are almost always far more enjoyable to experience, for me, than linear ones. The narrative aspect, however, would be sacrificed for the sake of playability.

Indeed. RIP.

A lot of incentive on the group to succeed was placed on everyone, right now it's just a glorified HOR friends list I think. As per the gaming conventions conversation I'm a huge fan of welldone narrative, linear development (though I don't mind opposite conventions there), and character development. I think I treat gaming a lot differently then a few people here and I will argue against that modern gaming is poop viciously.
