people always bring up fun as an argument for a video game which is ridiculous because fun is subjective. I feel like they use the term in order to describe a game that brings happiness or empowerment or a good feeling to them. Video games can do more than just give us that kind of game and that shouldn't be the measure of quality for that game.

Take Silent hill 2, it gives a sense of dread and has terrible combat but has an amazing story, symbolism, and atmosphere to it which makes it an amazing game. It wouldn't be described as fun it would be engaging because of the experience with the story.

What are other examples that don't fit the bill of "fun" and continue to engage people

I personally think; as you said, fun is a subjective term. I had fun with Silent Hill 2 because I love disturbing psychological horror and whatnot. Similarly I had a lot of fun and intrigue with Pathologic even though you could argue that game is the antithesis of conventional 'fun'.

Okay so i bought 3: Razor's Edge few days back and holy shit, this must be the fastest game i've played. So fast in fact sometimes i have no idea what i'm doing.

So pls send help, how EXACTLY does the blocking work? I can take a hit, maybe 2, but after that Ryu's arms get a stroke and i get hit. Dodging right after blocking gives some blue effect. I assume this is good? But what difference there is compared to normal dodging? Also is there any way to act out of block instead of dodging?

So confused

I've been buying a whole lot of indie games lately and I was wondering. what site should I buy from and what transaction service (paypal, amazon, etc.)should I use to make sure to fund developers as much as I can for the games I like.

this is the site I normally use

If the developers have your utmost trust, kickstarter and patreon are the venues that give them the most. Buying steam games at full price might be helpful as well.

Shinkiro's art is an acquired taste. It's wierd at first but the way he manages to put a realistic spin on every videogame character he draws, gives it a certain charm to it that isn't seen in other video games.

It's his own spin on videogame designs and he owns it and I love it for that, too bad he's not getting any more recent work.

Since there is a new persona game coming out it's obvious that people want things that are in the past persona games. I honestly don't want nyarlathotep in because I feel that putting him in another persona game would ruin the idea of persona in general.

Nyarlathotep is a good villain but look a the persona universe. It is always plagued by a different unknown force throughout each of the games. In persona 1 pandora tries to erase reality, In persona 3 the personification of death is coming to destroy humanity, and persona 4 izanami is plaguing a town for her own games. Even with philemon in persona 1 & 2 as guides for the player, even though he is seen in a different realm and able to give people the power of personas, he is not omnipotent. He is shown vulnerable and when having to deal with creatures like nyarlathotep. Philemon is not the main cause or end all be all of personas either. as shown in persona 3 you have the latent ability and it is activated by and evoker and in P4 it is activated by facing your true self.

Every enemy they have faced is supposedly omnipotent or powerful in some way. Pandora is able to wipe out reality, Nyarlathotep is able to destroy the earth because of a rumor, Death is able to kill everyone(cause its death), and Izanami is the creator of the world in shintoism mythology. but in the scheme of things they are no powerful than some of the other creatures in the SMT universe.

Nyx is a grunt in SMT
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Nyx
Nyarlathotep is a grunt and a boss
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Nyarlathotep
Even Philemon is a persona summon http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Nodens

What Philemon and Nyarlathotep keep saying that they reside in humanity, just like other personas. Which leads me to this. Every creature is caused by man or is a part of mankind. They are there to assist or destroy people or persons. Like the individual persona to each an every protagonist there is a persona that is an extension of their will or their emotions manifest or etc. that are created in this world and are an extension or facet of a part of mankind that we must deal with or acknowledge in our daily lives.

Nyarly won't be in Persona 5. Phile isn't even in the series anymore other than being the blue butterfly. Nyarly was cast out from Earth or whatever, and since P3-4 is a different writer than P1-2IS/EP, they're not going to be touched on in a major level ever again.

>How many of are actually excited that someone makes a game involving you killing innocent people to prove that video games are ultimately just fun no matter what?

Video games are as influential as any other medium. Games can be made to provoke different reactions and gain different emotions. Just limiting them to "Video Games are just for FUN" because there is and audience here who give anything praise that is anti-SJW or makes their imaginary femenist caricature in their heads cry is just as stupid. I hate that this game is being advertised this way and being spammed the hell and back.

Just talk about the game feature, show that the game stands on its own merit, and let people come into their own conclusion instead of bringing up market controversy to sell your game.

that all out of the way the game looks like postal and I hope it's more than just barebones "just shoot people for the first hour then put it away for ever because your bored with it already".

Well, sadly we don't have a lot of gameplay footage so we have to wait and see. And to be honest, just people's reactions are enough, the game doesn't need advertising. Yes, there are even more violent games out there, but this one created special butthurt because the main character clearly states it's intention to kill everyone and kill himself after that.

Stupid people are just sensible to that kind of shit, muh video game morals, protect the children, enough is enough… you know the rest. The game is self advertising in my opinion.

that's kinda my problem. Its only making noise on /v/ not because of the merit of the game but because it's violent and violence stirs up controversy. for all we know its a basic GTA 1 or 2/Postal like game that is looking totally bare bones but it's going to get it's dick sucked because people have quotas and end goals they want made. Aside from that what else is there to talk about?

the game is just basic so far, there's no special hook besides it's a new 3D top down shooter like postal and GTA, i guess thats a niche to fill. What is there that really makes it stand out, the gray filter, the finishers?
