Alex says:
now what will you fill your head with?
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
squiggles
Alex says:
lol
Alex says:
this does a story happen to you or do you make the story thing is awkward
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
i put
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
the story is alredy writtan, and cant be changed
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
but the player needs to live the story to make it
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
happen
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
the story is worthless without the player really
Alex says:
true. im having more trouble when i think about things like tetris and burnout
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
i think every game has a story line
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
it may be really basic, but its still there
Alex says:
basically those games have little or no story and in the absense of the story you make your own based on on your choice of block position or how well you do in a race
Alex says:
therefor the story must be made by the player but if thats the case then it must happen in any game where you have any level of choise in what you do
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
hmmmmm
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
good point
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
but there are limitations to a game, so the decisions are allways met by boundries
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
in that sense you cant just do whatever u want, its still guided by the game
Alex says:
but that doesnt change the fact that it is virtually impossible to completely recreate another players actions so every time you play you get a new story. its just the only difference between some storys is the player stpped right in one story and left in the other or something similar
Alex says:
only very basic games can be completely replayed in the exact same way and those games cant have any level of randomly occuring event
Alex says:
even then the player would still be getting a slightly different story unless everything was done at the same speed as the other player that played the stroy before
ACTION BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! says:
you make good...yet complex points
Alex says:
i know. im not even entirely sure what i said for half the time lol
Alex says:
MORE SUGAR!!!
