Comment on Video games
lyrial@anarchist.nexus 5 days agoI am 43 and feel it necessary to point out that this a really ignorant take. Not that storytelling in games hasn’t progressed, but discounting the myriad of games (especially in the RPG genre) that have excellent storytelling is ignorant at best and disingenuous at worst.

Hey, it’s subjective. And you’re misrepresenting what I’m saying. I’m not saying there haven’t been games with excellent storytelling. FF7, Another World, Space Quest 3 come to my mind. There are undoubtedly a hundred more. But in reality those games still appealed more to us kids than my dad. With TLOU I feel like something new happened: the story resonated more with the dad in the house (me) than with the kids.
