Why do faggots defend this? Why do they defend it so poorly?
Basically, every defense of this boils down to them asking you about simulator games. When you tell them that simulator games have a clear losing condition they completely ignore that and ask you what the winning condition of something like Sim City is.
And then they proceed to ignore completely that the winning condition of simulation games like Sim City is being able to rise above the losing condition without your further input.
So what the fuck? is it just people who are really hardcore SJW ninnies that want walking simulators to be considered real games? Because at this point it seems very much like that.

As sad as it is that we've reached this point, I still have to ask anyways
Is that an actual game?
Noah Allen
I hope not.
Lincoln Russell
Yes, pretty much. There's only two kinds of people who like walking simulators:
The latter makes walking simulators, which are played by the former, who in turn gradually turn into the latter.

Good "walking simulators" are about using space to tell a branching story, rather than VNs' dialogue trees. You select an option by going to a place or interacting with a specific thing which changes the space, and the change in location tells the story. Stanley Parable is a good example of this: player=Stanley makes decisions which have results, and the narrator tells the story of how player=Stanley's actions changed things. Gone Home also does a good job, where exploring the house tells the story through immersion rather than dictation.
Bad "walking simulators" like Sunset and Dragon are dictated stories with the freedom of movement - essentially a museum or amusement ride. While there is 'choice' in choosing where to walk or what to look at, it has no effect other than progressing the narration in a fixed manner.

I don't actually see how that's different from Gone Home, which is just a lame story about oppressed lesbians who rob their parents that is told almost exclusively through notes.
Ryder Green
Gone Homo isn't a story its beatable in half a minute
Logan Morris
Myst is beatable in half a minute. Is Myst shit?
Easton Lopez
Yes
Andrew Moore
Gone Home had good execution, but the story was complete shit. Just Romeo and Juliet but without the benefit of mutual suicide at the end. And with lesbians.
