We all have been apart of gaming somehow in someway and those of us that was either born with or raised with it, which is very touching to some of us when the devs give us something new and/or revolutionary. Hello Wandering Traveler and welcome to another Community Writing Challenge!
What I love is that gaming is taking more of a cinematic turn on us, trying to seem as meaningful as a movie we watch today or the movies decades ago. We all love the game's Telltale has given us like Wolf Among Us or Tales of the Borderlands, but there are more surprising ones that strike us with so much emotion, like Emily is Away or even Undertale, putting us in situations that would emotionally hurt us in real life, but in this virtual simulation, gives us a crying experience or a angry hatred.
I am glad games are going as far to try to make us cry or make us regret the things we chose. I think this type of gaming gets even farther as having us get even more involved with the characters to give us a more looks in the character's mindset and what he or she will want or need.
As the gaming history hits us harder and harder, gaming has changed very drastically in any classic genre. FPS's have changed very much and we see it now as a sport more than a game. There was some incidents where it was seen a murder simulator, but now it's called a pro-creator.
It just satisfies me to see that gaming has been called a sport with a large skil rangel than a couch game for your 12 year-old. It has even been featured in sports programs like ESPN and has been give a serious look since it's premiere on the channel. Even games considered simple, like Clash of Clans, are given a tournament of there own.
Remember when games were called childish? No child could play such a game with great strategy required. The Command and Conquer genre has marked gaming as the pillar of strategic thinking. Games before the genre had you think, but relied more on luck than anything else.
Since the genre's creation, games wanted to become such a type, but in a different kind of game, since then, games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Serious Sam came to be. Then came the Card game genre, making it even more awesome! Sorry, I went out of my intelligence there.
Games have been advanced and the genres have been growing by the years, and we have been enjoying every bit of it. Everything may be too different to see it's greatness, but it satisfies me to see developers try there best to try new things and new devs creating some of those paths for them.
What about gaming makes you smile? What changes did you see make you wanna see more? Well, you can tell me, but I'll be busy watching this ultimate 3-man fight...
And 'til next time (And I mean it)...
