There's just so much content degradation even within MW2 itself.<br /><br />But, since MW2 wasn't my first, I could be wrong about that.sarusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271501589622567378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-32003589456485068762011-11-22T00:52:11.989-08:002011-11-22T00:52:11.989-08:00Good critique.

You see a system, you don't understand it, you slowly work to understand it, it opens its power and richness to you, and eventually you know everything about it and it has little to offer anymore.<br /><br />On the other hand, it's particularly acute in MW games because most of the fireworks have little relationship with the player's actions.<br /><br />It's telling that people's view of MW, a very narrative-focused game (in terms of filling and controlling the player's experience) tends to boil down to multiplayer, which has made its success - whereas Dwarf Fortress, a game with few narrative constraints, generates from its players endless tales of strange stories its system threw up. Perversely, pound for pound, adjusted for player base numbers, players pay more attention to the stories in a game without a story than in one whose story is inescapable.John Brindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376787263126847036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-242951984816947442011-11-18T10:50:51.728-08:002011-11-18T10:50:51.728-08:00absolutely agree with this article.

For the same reason that a guy swinging across a vine in an action movie or meeting a CGI creature don't scare me because I see them as mechanics of the storytelling rather than real obstacles being overcome by the heroes, cinematic window dressing and spectacle just won't carry gaming anymore. The legacy of this type of gaming is huge development teams and costs, and minimal interaction and skill, almost inarguably the sole domain of gaming.Clumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746334976177130512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-13071997121137835532011-11-18T10:49:42.929-08:002011-11-18T10:49:42.929-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Clumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746334976177130512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-21923797925786722082011-11-18T10:45:23.852-08:002011-11-18T10:45:23.852-08:00Ya...a couple of folks have said that on the vario...Ya...a couple of folks have said that on the various sites I posted this to. I'm not sure if I should agree it's the exact same thing or argue that systems maintain certain properties that a linear narrative does not. Hmmm....<br /><br />I will have to play something more content heavy next I suppose, to see how well it holds out.Kirk Battlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612840105075834275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826783898962653229.post-89769145151729027572011-11-18T09:10:43.060-08:002011-11-18T09:10:43.060-08:00That's the natural response to bombast, it dea...That's the natural response to bombast, it deadens the audience's ability to respond or appreciate such extremes after a while. <br /><br />But just because you tend to see past the narrative/art content doesn't mean it's not there, does it?
