There are many legitimate ways videogames can blur medium boundaries. Many games make good use of text, many change up the framing of the visuals to get an effect like a comic book or a specific artistic movement. The modern standard of visuals in videogames could also be seen as a general trend towards the other major moving visual media, video.

Length is not really one of those. Mediums are not blended when the length of an example from one approaches the average of another. A tv series isn't more like a videogame because it collectively has several hours of run time. It might still be a good game for it's price, but if you're only going to get 3 hours out of it, it better be damn good or very replayable if it's above even $10 bucks. If we want to be charitable.

Got to play the demo through a friend from a video game review site, here's my impressions: it's literally more Limbo, in 2.5d, with an actual story this time. The art style and animations are fucking amazing, but it's the same puzzle platformer/physics gameplay as Limbo, with some stealth elements. Not sure about length, played the second level through in about half an hour. Probably not a 10, but a really nice game if you're into that sort of gameplay.

Well they're trying every now and then. Last time I checked the operation irc it was pretty dead though.

Most of the obvious SJW comments these days, are made by individuals who simply get buttmad just thinking 4chan and can't sleep until trying to btfo at least one "bigoted" comment. Emphasis on 'trying'. I think most ops are over by now. Some of them just developed an obsession with 4chan and can't stop coming here.

exactly, I enjoyed the deaths, but the first 10 minutes triggered me when I climbed the tree and jumped off to die, I climbed again, solved the puzzle, but missed the branch and died again. Wasted 10 minutes. I didn't even beat it, got to the part with the leech on head and quit because the trial and error part of walking backwards wasted a 1 minute just to look for the answer everytime, fuck that

Then what is the objective monetary value of a video game? Time played? Should then games like FTL or Stardew Valley cost more than 60 dollars because they generally keep people entertained for more than 6-8 hours like your average AAA title?

Western developers and media have teamed up and successfully divorced the gameplay from the experience

It works like a charm. As a developer you don't have to:

- design levels
- hire a good artist
- hire a good animator, or animate at all
- bother with gameplay other than "hold W to go forward" or if you're going really deep, mouselook

As a journalist:

- you can do away with the chore before the afternoon's over and go back to tweeting, virtue signalling for new gigs.

Yeah, it can be objectivelly proven that Limbo is not a good game simply by looking at its design tenets. It doesn't work on any level as an interactive piece of media. Of course, clickbait bloggers don't look at games that way. They need to mature else they are too gamey.

The average person who isn't a compete bore will probably artificially inflate the game's length to about that by virtue of it's open world and the general appeal of fucking about, but you're right. I wouldn't call it an 80 hour game.

Where do you get this fucked up logic from. And when did I ever say that Inside was priced too high. I called out some guy for saying that a movie was more expensive than Inside and now you're sperging out about it and still trying to get me to argue something completely besides my point despite the fact that I already said I'm not going to do it.

I was thinking about tons of 'lel you died' moments that were supposed to bring about the ominous nature of the game world but amounted to trial and error gameplay. Compare it to Another World where the game gives you time to see the danger, even running a mini-cinematic when it shows up (the panther), then you have no option but to run away, but that option need not kill you if you don't fumble.

You could see danger in LIMBO, and you were even taught what things do before you encountered them.

Most VNs and narrative puzzle games wouldn't be as good if they were 30 hours long,let alone 60.

>>343066212
I see your point but I disagree, because it leads to way too much filler. Just look at the trend of open world games and how full they are of senseless fetch quests and procedurally generated caves.

I prefer games around 15-20 hours but with a fuckton of replayability where you can actually do different things in another playthrough.

They won't be until the people reviewing can actually be critics instead of having such a self-serving interest in the industry. Most people in the industry are still trying to prove that their lives aren't wasted on children's toys, so they hand out 10/10 to any pretentious puzzle walking sim to show their parents and other adults that what they do isn't a joke.

it probably just has some stupid memorable twist that makes retards think it's amazing just because it blew their mind regardless if the rest of the game was garbage.

>>343072892
Is trial and error really even an invalid approach to designing a puzzle game?

I mean, in a game like IWBTG where the game punishes too many errors with starting over or something, sure.

But Limbo doesn't really take issue with you dying, deaths reload quickly and you lose very little in the way of progress. The idea is to learn by doing (and dying), same way the idea in any puzzle game is to try things that don't work until you can learn enough about the puzzle to do the thing that DOES work.

I don't think there's ever been a good puzzle game NOT based on this approach. The closest you can get to a well-designed puzzle without trial and error is bullshit like in the Zelda games where you push the only pushable block into the only place you can push it, until the chimes sound and you're allowed to progress.

>>343073232
