      But that's how the genre of tragedy works There's a whole set of emotional responses that can only happen if the main character of a story does something they regret

      I mean, I've been an actor before, I've identified very strongly with characters who've made awful, indefensible decisions I felt really bad while I was doing it, crying and sobbing and dry heaving etc That was the point, that was what I signed up for

      Like this is I think a fundamental disconnect over what playing a game, specifically a narrative game, even is, what the point of it is If the definition of "game" is it's a passing world simulator and/or power fantasy enabler then fine TLoU is "not even a game"

      But I mean, it doesn't have to be a game to be interesting or of value

      (Like it's weird that we're still stuck on this question of "How much interactivity does it need to have to be a REAL game" when in the world of visual novels it's accepted you can have a VN with only one choice to make in the whole game, or even have zero choices)

      I'm not quibbling about the definition of anything. Let them all be games, that's fine. I'm just making statements about my general tastes in games. I'm sure, with enough effort, someone could find or make an "on rails" game that I would like, too.

      Sure, but it's the framing based on this unspoken assumption of what a game is that is very common and that I object to The whole "You're publishing me for choices I didn't make" thing is often very visceral and like I said I see it as an immature reaction

      i don't i think "fuck you" is a perfectly cromulent response to "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions, double binds, and forced choices

      But you aren't the character You're just watching the character on the screen The idea that you literally are the character and that because you paid the company a lot of money to be this person, this person has to be cool and successful is why narrative gaming is so shallow

      or maybe, a lot of attempts at "narrative depth" just aren't very good i'm not going to react well to a novel that hammers home the message that In The End, We Are All Assholes, either

      We aren't all assholes maybe but that doesn't mean there's no interest in watching one person who is an asshole Like Breaking Bad was absolutely not about the idea that everyone in the world is awful (Walt's uniqueness in his awfulness is where the tragedy comes from)
