The myth of games as escapism
The myth of games as escapism
You can't judge the entire medium based on ICO or Braid, because 98% of video games are just video games. It's like declaring movies are art, then ignoring the latest Michael Bay movie.
Glad someone stepped on the "are video games art?" landmine.
The myth of games as escapism
Oh, it's totally not escapism when I assume the role of an overly powered kemonomimi with a giant claymore in some Korean MMORPG at all.
But the very ironic thing about using an MMO in my sarcasm is that multiplayer games are much more real because you have to deal and work with actual people. It's still escapism even though I hate the term altogether.
I'd rather just call it entertainment for whatever reason, because then there's applications such as the crowd-sourced MMO they're going to release. It's actual wargames where players take on the role of defenders and pirates, and the battle data will reveal ideal tactics when dealing with real pirates. Can't wait for it to come out.

Creating Immersive Worlds, Interesting Characters & Non Linear Plots
This works well with games that have good gameplay, fun dialogue, and something that is pretty important for these type of games, graphics!
No it isn't. You can write a good story without graphics. You can even have a good story if it's a purely text game. Writers have been doing this for centuries.
